I too couldn't figure out where the £10 came from on my bank statement but come to think of it I could get a few useful little tools for under a tenner each so while it's not much in the grand scheme of things I won't complain or think it's derisory. They can give me a tenner anytime and I'm...

Exactly my thoughts. I don't skimp on tools but I bought my digi calipers from either LIDL or ALDI just out of curiosity and I find them very accurate and a go to tool when I need them. They're very consistent when zeroed and hold zero very well...at least mine do! I think they cost about...

I've been using cheap digital calipers for the past 8 years and having checked them for accuracy against my precision micrometers over those years they are as accurate as I need them. If I was using the digital calipers daily for serious engineering projects then I'd probably invest in a more...

I'll second that! (y) I too bought mine from Screwfix. I've had mine for a few years now when they were off and they're great value for money.

It doesn't matter how streetwise one is, there is always a time when even the most shrewd and wary surfer will eventually fall for a scam of some description. I've been around computers and programming them since the early 1980s so while no expert as I last programmed computers at university in...

...or gangsters like the following, responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of lives and not one war crime to show for it! Boris's alleged corruption was very meek by this lot's standards.

I own a sited caravan so I know a little about motorhomes and according to what I can find out, renting a campervan can cost anything between £300-1200 per week depending upon time of year and model so it's not cheap and as already suggested, it may be more practical and cheaper to look for...

That's awfully kind of you (y);)

The biggest advantage a parent can give their offspring is not money or wealth, it's teaching their kids the value of education. I lost my parents when they were quite young but their legacy of valuing education lingered with me. The state education is fine. As well as having friends who are...

I don't feel sorry for myself, far from it. I have no expectations of the state other than to provide the basic services for which I and millions of others have paid for with their taxes and I've always believed that I alone am responsible for how my life has turned out. If others have done...

You mean the better off have more disposable income and therefore they should pay more for every service they receive and yet you complain about them for instance educating their kids private schools? Seems you not only want to tell them how much extra they should pay for everything but also how...

I wouldn't disagree with your statement. Unfortunately a large section of the Great British public want successive pendulum governments to provide high quality services, nothing wrong with that I'd add but many are just not prepared to dip their hands into their pockets and pay more for them and...

You do spout some left wing garbage! You must be so proud of yourself!

I consider myself well traveled, having visited many countries across the world in my time and I'd consider myself reasonably well versed in understanding other societies but I've never in all honesty come across a section of any of those societies which vilifies success quite like the tribal...

I bought a set of these about a year ago specifically for close up work where I had to go to the workpiece as my eyes aren't quite what they once were and although I haven't used the specs daily, I've had a fair bit of use out of them since buying them and for fiddly jobs etc where a convenient...

Here's my shed. I needed both a potting shed and storage shed for garden equipment etc but because of lack of space in the garden, I ended up building a dual purpose shed. The front half being a potting shed in which I actually grow tomatoes as well as seedlings etc and the rear half where I...

This is Ollie. He loves going to the caravan with us and very often sleeps on the day bed cushion back right next to my head. When he's awake he's always near me and even at four years old, plays like a kitten. I'm definitely his favourite human whereas Jasper our other cat is more for my OH.

Try rephrasing your comment to include "some cat" owners. My two cats are indoor only and never leave the house, therefore cause no issues for anyone. Not all cat owners allow their cats to free roam. It's something like only 25% of owners who allow their cats to roam these days.

They're just typical BSH cats. You don't normally see them wandering around outdoors as they're quite expensive to buy and most owners never risk letting them outdoors. My daughter has been into cat BSH breeding for a number of years. All legit with all pedigree papers/registration of course and...

We have several strategically placed scratching posts throughout the house for our two and they generally do a very good job of preventing/distracting them from scratching furniture but they're animals after all so one has to make allowances for the occasional lapse but cats soon learn what is...
