Plus, I prefer going on the train anyway :D

You want to put a cork in some of those Welsh cows, that will sort out your climate change :lol:

Read my post ^ pretty sure the damage is only a slight delam. I doubt the core of the ski extends all the way in to the tail anyway. Epoxy + clamps. Search TGR for repair advice.

I won't have to clean...My mum said she'll come and do that! :mrgreen: :wink:

AllyG wrote:Tony,
I'm sorry you don't see the relevance of my vehicle stories. Here is another one:

We had a tractor which went on fire once - total write off, but we wanted the parts because we had another similar tractor. So I asked the Loss Adjuster (who worked for the insurance company) if we could buy the salvage rights to the tractor. He okayed it, and we got the remains of the tractor for a very minimal sum (I can't remember how much now).

I would say if you accept the money, the insurers own your damaged skis, but you could ask them if they would give/sell them to you. Of course, a pair of skis are only worth a fraction of the cost of a tractor, so as Brimster said, the insurers probably aren't bothered about what happens to them. Our household insurers certainly never asked for our damaged camera back when I claimed on that.
