So *did* I Until one day my personal account was disabled and despite many attempts to regain it I never did I had a selling page and that also disappeared So all the work I had done to start it off and organise it, all the contacts made, photo albums uploaded All gone So i wouldn't rely...

I confess I for one didn't know Gumtree was owned by ebay, although what difference it makes I don't know I had an inkling that there was a connection given the number of items you see linked to ebay ;-)

ebay is okay and it depends on what you are selling I have had more problems with ebay scammers than any of the others, mainly as Gumtree & Preloved are generally cash on collection I have had a few on ebay who claim it didn't arrive or mess you around in other ways, paypal will always...

I use Gumtree a fair bit to buy and sell, most of the time I have positive experiences but you do get some muppets as you do everywhere As its free at least for lower priced items (not sure for cars) its one of those things you have to put up with There is also Preloved, not so much footfall...

Borrow another mouse of any variety If it solves the problem you know its the original mouse, it it doesn't resolve it you know its the computer Mice die after a few years of use

Tuh! and I thought you were being serious, I am glad you made it clear at the end ;-)

To be fair, I haven't seen an argument, only people stating the facts as they see them Most of which I heartily agree with

Whats the expression? lies damn lies & statistics We are repeatedly informed that the crime rate has been dropping for years The majority who have been around a few years know full well that the crime rate isn't dropping its just not reported as nothing is done about the crime shopping...

I cannot disagree with any of that Including the part that there have always been rude (and aggressive) people Its just that there are so many more of them nowadays :-(

Just one example of many unfortunately So much of todays activities online or on TV/film are so over the top The problem as I see it is getting worse as the films & TV programs get more violent and events are more drastic to outdo the previous ones So people seem to think they have to act...

Those who know they are in the wrong are usually very quick to *lose it* It seems a diet of rubbish TV suggests to many that the first thing to do is shout & swear as much and as loudly as possible, rather than discuss it :-( Sad lot really

I had a read on the Shield stuff you mentioned, sounds quite good and cost effective over a period, I will keep that one on the back burner as its a tad rich for my pocket at present

This looks like a variety of rust remedy which although very good in the applications I have used it on, is only okay if you are going to paint the item, so not so great for tools, but might be okay on the hinges I have but they have cleaned up so well I don't think its necessary in my case...

Thanks for that suggestion, funny as I have already tried that on a couple of bits to test, a couple of old scrapers I derusted and linseed oil was close to hand having just coated a plane handle, so used it up , I noted it formed a thin crust on the scrapers Not sure how durable it would be...

I see that comes in a 125ml trial size, so a tad more affordable Are you saying that it would be suitable for most tools?

Yes agree with you there ;-)

Thanks for that suggestion of Jade oil, I have never heard of it Not cheap though is it

Sorry for the long saga, but to explain ;-) They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but they also say you are never to old to learn I have never tried rust removal using white vinegar, I was not expecting very much but have been very surprised at the results (nay shocked) I have an...

What was the price? did I miss mention of it ?

Coke, that was one I had forgotten about Thanks for the reminder With three girls and loads of new shoes I always had a stock of silica gel sachets, with them leaving home silica is a little harder to find ;-)
