That's an interesting angle, But why just apply it to motorists? I expect if everyone had to pay for the pollution they cause, many items would disappear pdq.

The local farmers union give about 6 options, but no matter which one you select, the same girl answers.

I'm also a pedestrian, but most of my time on the road, I'm a motorist. Lots of people kicking off about the new highway code rules. The guy in the vid seems upset, but has anything significant changed? Pedestrians always had right of way. There was always an exclusion zone around cyclists...

I kinda developed an obsession with RH, I have meters in almost every room. I have one very similar to your link which consistently reads 9% higher than the rest.

Nice find. I haven't time to watch it all now, Just the first six minutes or so. Reminds me of my first job after leaving school. At the tender age of 14 I noticed that the best pipe layer was always clean, no matter how dirty the surroundings while lesser men were muck to the eyebrows.

In theory bigger is better(more powerful) In practice, it doesn't always work out like that. A few years ago I had to screw a wooden base down to a concrete yard. I hired a 20v drill for the day but ended up using my own 12v dewalt.

"They" reckon the population of the world in the 12th century was one sixteenth of what it is now. It wasn't very peaceful then either. I wonder what today's population would be if we had all just got along and helped each other out.

£5.95 in B&Q, but like you I thought it good value in the circumstances.

I read somewhere that only 50% of deals made in the den actually happen. The other 50% fail when all the details come to light. I know it's only TV, but deals do happen and money gets made. It wouldn't suit me, I'd rather live modestly and be my own boss. (Don't tell the trouble and strife I...

I get that. If you buy x% of a business and it grows your investment is worth more, you've made money. It just seemed that getting the money back seemed like having your cake and eating it. Thanks to southendwoodworker I get it now.

Excellent explanation thanks.

OK so here's where I demonstrate my lack of business knowledge. I like to watch "the den" and predict what they are going to do, sometimes I even get it right. :) Sometimes!. What I don't understand is when they say, "I'll give you £50,000 for 15% of your business and if I get my money back...

I have a problem. During heavy rain the water running down the roadside comes right in my gate. The previous occupant made holes in the footpath to let it away. Some of those are now blocked, so now the path is underwater in places and muddy. Today I cleaned it up and went to town to get some...

Pretty sure they're 1.2v cells, and if you take your time you can replace them, but good cells are expensive and it can be fiddly. As I often conclude, if you can make money at anything else, it's probably better to do that and buy the batteries/drill

History is a strange animal with many faces. A number of years ago I got acquainted with a Lithuanian guy in Krakow Poland. He shook my hand and hugged me expressing his gratitude that we, in Ireland were no longer oppressed by the evil British and that he had sympathy because of his...

Where exactly is this shed?

It's maybe 15 years since I bought a new one but it came with a plastic push stick.

One of these turned down should be enough to keep Jack at bay. https://www.amazon.co.uk/POFET-Vintage-Kerosene-Lanterns-Citronella/dp/B0871R4T25/ref=sr_1_10?c=ts&keywords=Oil%2BLamps&qid=1642608050&s=kitchen&sr=1-10&ts_id=3028545031&th=1

A slight diversion from the topic. Where would one purchase a good quality lighting board. A few years ago I bought a trailer board in the local car accessory shop. It wasn't long before some of the lights stopped working. On taking it apart I found the wires to the light and some of the...

Apart from the legality, it's going to be a much better job with suspension.
