    A little truth for a change.

    I’d still love to know the answer to my question. I understand some people don’t believe all the scientists etc no matter that fact that effectively all of them agree (balance in the media has had the negative effect of making people think that opinions are split 50/50 as an interviewer will...

    A little truth for a change.

    This is another thing I can never understand. Most people I meet who don’t ‘believe’ in a need to address climate change are also those who think immigration is a scary idea thing that must be stopped at all costs and entirely miss the fact that all those countries where the brown people they...

    A little truth for a change.

    The other thing I can’t understand is the concept that ‘all these scientists are being paid off to say climate change is real’ who by? Surely the vested interest with the biggest money is oil, so why wouldn’t they be paying them off to say the climate is fine?

    That is an excellent post

    A little truth for a change.

    You haven’t answered my question yet. What I struggle to understand is that if you put it in woodworking terms, if you were choosing a new drill and looking at reviews on YouTube and forums and of the woodworkers who clearly had huge amounts of experience, knew what they were doing and had...

    A little truth for a change.

    What makes you believe this person over all the scientists who would say otherwise?

    Axminster 'out of stock'? Maybe not

    Mine was only £40 and it had to go from Kent to Dorset and back out to me. I'll wave to it on the way past :)

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    Sorry Phil but I think your stat actually supported my point. Despite the other posters point that Glasgow is a little smaller than the entirety of England and Wales, your numbers are right, but you are missing the fact that you are only quoting 21/22 figures. If you looked in more detail the...

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    I know you're going with race as being the key stat, but from those I've spoken to who work in this area yes, the knife crime stats for London have higher racial indicators, but the poverty stats also show that people of colour are far more likely to be poor (for a variety of reasons which...

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    You're right and the answer is poverty. That is the correct answer, but I'll take a stab (pun very much intended) that you were going for a different one

    Axminster 'out of stock'? Maybe not

    Just in case useful to anyone for the future. I was looking for an item which showed as 'Out of Stock for 12 weeks' on the Axminster website Called a branch directly https://www.axminstertools.com/stores just in case (thinking that the system was likely linked and they would all be out of...

    Wanted UJK Chamfer and Reamer Tool (Combined)

    Scratch that. Just phoned an Axminster branch. They had two in stock and were able to do an order with me over the phone that will be mailed to Head Office then out to me. Thought I'd post that here in case it's useful for anyone experiencing something similar

    Wanted UJK Chamfer and Reamer Tool (Combined)

    Any chance anyone has one of these that you’re looking to sell? Just staining and Osmo’ing my new MFT. The stain has, as expected tightened up the dog holes, which I merrily did comfortable in the knowledge that if it did, it was easily sortable with the appropriate tool. But… logged into the...

    URGENT - please read this - scam alert

    Out of interest, does this mean that if at any point as you get older, you notice your memory going even a little bit, or perhaps your reactions being a touch slower than they used to be that you’ll immediately hand in your driving license? Or if you were to get a medical condition that was...

    Quotation help

    Disagree. You’re right that some won’t care but if you don’t do it, then all you can do is win work by undercutting and luck. If everyone assumes ‘they’re all the same’ it only benefits the lowest common denominator (note how the concept of ‘all politicians are dodgy you just have to accept it’...

    Quotation help

    A few years ago I got quotes for alcove cupboards (built but to be painted by us) then due to Covid/finances ended up reading and watching a lot and making them myself as my first DIY project. The quotes I got were very different (like by £thousands) Looking back at the quotes once I knew a...

    Portable MFT and track saw or Mitre saw and workmate for fitting/making utility room

    Great stuff. Bear in mind that they are made for US 2x4s which differ in size to uk. So if you want flush, find a wood yard that can plane a couple to the size you want

    Portable MFT and track saw or Mitre saw and workmate for fitting/making utility room

    Hi Nick. You sound to be in a similar situation to me. I have the toughbuilt sawhorses above. I love mine, but do bear in mind that they are quite heavy. If you will potentially doing a lot outside if you don’t have cover from the elements, might a pop up gazebo be a valuable addition? If...
