I think you may mean nickers without the "K" - knickers with a k has an entirely different meaning on this side of the pond... The bits you've got photos of are I think called "spurs", but I'm absolutely not an expert.

"Tubers" - I like that, makes me think of Mr Potato-Head...

Look again...

So an increase of 20%. The rest of your post was pretty much unintelligible.

I wonder if Phil has finished his popcorn yet?

?

Well then you'll just have to excuse me for thinking so, but if people start an argument just for the sake of it, no-one should be surprised if they get a rise. Anyone is free to think what they like about climate change, but as others have said better than me, if there's any chance that it is...

Phil's original post mentioned "getting the popcorn out" - how are we to interpret that, if not as posting something controversial just to get an argument going?

Phil, I see you're in Cornwall, I am too - I grew up here and if you did too, you will remember as a child, waiting for the school bus in the cold, frosty weather of winter. If your bus was anything like mine, you spent most of your time on it of a morning, breathing on the window next to you...

None so blind as those that won't see...

Every time I say it, I say it with a Yorkshire accent!

My missus got shunted in our VW e-up last year - the shunter's insurers paid to have it fixed, so I suspect it depends greatly on the amount of damage done, just as with an ICE car.

Those batteries are almost entirely recyclable, so less waste and new opportunities for businesses that do the recycling.

We have a VW E-Up, about as basic as we could find - does all we ask of it. I agree with your point about switching one kind of peni$ extension for another, but not so much about the virtue signalling.

At the moment, the world extracts about 15 billion tons of coal, oil and gas, per year, none of which is recyclable and all of which is polluting, both in its extraction and in its burning. Contrast that with the International Energy Agency's estimate for 2040, of 28-40 million tons of...

I've made a few bladed items from old saw blades, but not wanted to go down the road of annealing, hardening and retempering, so have just used a very fine (tiny but hot) blow torch to locally heat where I wanted to drill. The HSS bits went through no bother after that and the locally soft bits...

I think it depends how they get here - if they make it under their own steam, they can be defined as native (Collared Doves in 1956 for example) whereas if they were introduced my man, they're not considered native.

Ain't we all...

I think they reduce it all to a slurry with water, which would make it relatively easy to filter out the rubbish. I use the bigger plain cardboard boxes under mulch for the paths in the veg plot, in which case I get a bit obsessed with removing every last trace of tape...

An airgun pellet would be much kinder - imagine the agony, nothing deserves that.
