B&Q will charge per meter, what a stock length should cost. Try your local fabricators / agricultural engineers.

Put glycerine in the icing next year! with added nitro?

We travelled from Portsmouth Harbour to Eastliegh to day and returned, apart from the train being two minutes late leaving Pompey, t'was a normal trip. What I thought was odd that that South West Trains ran an eight car train for a stopping service to Winchester, there was almost an echo in our...

If you can do a good job under these trying circumstances then in the long run you will be a better tradesman for it. this sort of attitude usually comes from somebody who lacks confidence themselves and is trying to hide their lack by bullying and pretension. My guess is that he has already...

Sainsbury offer burgers with a dash of red wine, Tesco's with a bit of Red Rum. they are also opening a new range of in town fast food outlets called Poney Express. I've got me coat!

Drill a small hole in the stud and if you don't have a stud extractor use the tang end of a very small file, knock it into th hole. Also heat the part up with a hot air gun the brass/bronze will expand far more than the steel stud and should let go, if not get it good and hot and quench it in...

Hi Duncan Does it look like this? (I ('borrowed' the picture from somebodies earlier post) Gareth

Hi The motor should be on a sliding adjuster with a handle just beneath it. If it is jammed it is quite possible that there is sawdfust in the mechanism. The Spindle moulder mounting is bolted through slots in the mounting so about 20mm of adjustment is possible. I have just spent the last...

Although I suspect they were not designed for the purpose any more than the scredrivers were designed for them, the old style "King ****" adjustable spanners were ideal for a bit of extra torque applied to the wide flat. Such practice was also the reason for broken blades and mashed screw...

Yes indeed, Happy New Year to all who contribute to such an enjoyable forum. Gareth

That is perfectly true, as a student nurse we had more lectures on confidentiality than any other subject. I once got into mild trouble for not telling the hospital press officer about the condition of a patient who had suffered a news worthy accident. We were not allowed to report...

I am not surprised to find the term 'tote' is an early term. It is thought that American English retains a considerable number of "Elizabethan" words that we have long since superseded. Of the forty plus plane wielding tradesmen and apprentices in my old boat yard not one would have known what...

Welcome to the forum Clive much good information here! However please do not adopt that awful Amercanism, there is no such thing as a 'tote' on a plane, it is a 'handle' and always will be. Gareth

They work on the assumption that you must have a set, and if they have no record of you obtaining a licence then they assume you are dodging the fee. It is all done to frighten you into obtaining a licence. The dodgy ground is reached should you be summoned to court because they will I suspect...

My niece was going to be named after her two grandmothers until it was realised that she would be Polly Esther Cotton!

I get very fed up with these fake "English" style names, from unsolicited call centres So my response is "Is that the name your parents gave you?" before they answer I get in, "Are you ashamed of your real name, why have you started this conversation with lie? I don't deal with companies that...
