I can't recommend anyone at Gatwick, my parents live close enough that we park there and go in by train right into the terminal, but when we've gone from Stansted we've used a 'meet and greet' service; surprisingly it can work out cheaper than some of the on-site and off-site car parks and is...

We've got the Virgin box, very pleased with it... but upgrading..? When we got our HDD recorder a couple of years ago it had various options and we could record up to 160 hours of TV; at first I worried if it would be enough then I thought back to the old VCR and realised this equated to 40...

Who, me? It all depends what you mean by 'specialised products'. Retailers (including online) will only keep lines that sell at least reasonably well for them, the more obscure stuff can just sit on the shelf gathering dust and probably be unusable by the time it is sold. We see ourselves as...

Hi All We've just moved our website across to a new host, at the same time we made a few subtle changes; nothing too exciting so don't all go charging over there at once! But, if you do go and have a look, if you find any broken links could you let me know please? Similarly if you spot any...

It's the companies you don't buy from who should be advertising! ..but I know what you mean...

I used to live in a narrow road and if we didn't park with two wheels on the pavement the road was blocked (it has since been redesigned and is much better, but was like this for many many years). One time we got tickets for parking on the pavement so we all came off the pavement and blocked...

Hi John I got stuck at the Yandles show one year in the van, there wasn't enough weight in it to get a grip; fortunately for me some people wandered by who I'd served about ten minutes beforehand and they leaned down on the bars on the front, got me some traction and I was away! Woodworkers...

Not really, no. I've been trying to think of a good analogy and the best I can come up with at the moment is comparing the 'old' mini with the 'new' BMW one. This is flawed however as many people would say there was absolutely nothing wrong with the old one and some people don't like the new...

She hasn't accidentally dragged it 'under' the screen has she? If so, by putting the cursor at the bottom of the screen then clicking and holding she should be able to drag it back up.

Probably not; you'd be better off wiping the wood down before applying the stain. I've also known people use Surgical Spirit for this problem with success.

We're there but not listed (although I'm not conceited enough to think that our attendance will make people flock to the show!). I won't be there in person but Mark will be doing his demonstration for us. As a standholder (of sorts) it'll be interesting to see how the show does.

WHY MEN HAVE BETTER FRIENDS....... Friendship between Women; A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it. Friendship between Men: A man...

...and declare it off-road (SORN), you can still be fined even if the vehicle isn't used on the road.

I'm pretty certain that there is no 'grace' period, if the car is on the road it's illegal from day one... ..and even if it's off the road but you haven't declared the SORN on it it will still be illegal and you can still be fined for it! If you are keeping the car untaxed and off the road for...

Hi Gents Thanks for the answers; for reasons I can't explain I have an aversion to iTunes (sorry John and other iTunes fans) so I've booted out Doppler and installed Juice, thanks Dave, it'll be interesting to see how I get on with it. So far so good, but only time will tell! Thanks again John...

I was going to call this thread 'Can You Help?' to increase the traffic to it but changed my mind.... Anyway... There are a couple of programmes I listen to that I invariably miss; the good news is that they are available on listen again and as podcasts. What I'd like to find it a bit of...

I'm not sure about part one, but I had a similar problem with part 2 and got the answer on this forum, from Chas as I recall... here's what he said: Registry Edit I'm afraid. Don't know how XP got it's knickers in a twist but this will fix it. Start> Run> regedit> >Find...

Whoa Smudger! I think I understand how you feel! Perhaps a better title for this thread would be something like 'How thick are some people despite the best attempts of the education system?' Reading stuff like this must be very frustrating for you but it does have some results; I remember...

Hi It might be worth trying White Spirit; test it for paint compatibility first if you can but it should be ok. Good luck

Sadly The Bollom Group (JW Bollom and Co Ltd as was) went into administration late last year. The Briwax side of it is being resurrected by the two Bollom brothers (and I wish them very well) but I don't think it wil include their 'industrial' coatings side.
