Not saying all supermarket fuel is
, but I have been told not to use it exclusively.
Always go to Shell or BP. I've heard the same thing about supermarket fuel, so I just skip it completely (with the odd exception where I have been a bit thick and need a desperate refueling at the next set of pumps I see).

Pretty much as I do. I'll keep quiet then.

Well hopefully that's the van sorted. Something about the air fuel sensor. All I know is that translates into £168. Sigh...
Oh well. Off to Tamworth this afternoon to pick up some new flightcases. Fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong with that...

I love it. Takes away all the stress. There's nothing nicer than walking into a gig, through the throng of people milling about, and calmly booting up the laptop.

Jury's out on that one.

No question. I've seen many good ones, and they are awesome people.

No. Mechanics, Builders, Farmers, et al do it as well, believe me.
Difference is, being a good DJ isn't easily quantifiable, and you can achieve that objective in many different ways. Thus, we go to see how someone else is working, whether we agree, and if we can nick any useful ideas.

I originally thought you might be being sarcastic. But your further posts suggest otherwise. It's not a requirement at all (even more so than PAT) and if it were you'd need one done for every gig. You shouldn't be left alone with the kids at any point so what does it matter if your a criminal?
Besides there are plenty of criminals who have kids.

CRB... pretty sure it's an acronym of the Latin words for "hasn't been caught yet"

You need a CRB check by law if you're working regularly with Children. Performing at a wedding when there are kids around doesn't count because you're not working with them but fot children's discos where you will be playing and interacting directly with kids requires a CRB which apparently is now known as a DBS.
