Just like most here then Jacob..it isn't the riders, nor the race..it's the memories and the towns and villages and countryside that they were made in. SWMBO rides her cycle ( mountain bike..deffo not leccy ) every day for work to do her rounds ( old folks, cancer and alzheimer's patients etc ...

I missed this comment..well played that man..well played sir.. 🍻

Everywhere you can pay to pollute , health or not. Some places it's worse, the ones who don't pollute pay for those who do. Here we have a major problem with farmers polluting the rivers with nitrates..green algal "blooms" each year in rivers and all along the coasts and beaches..Costs farmers...

Has to be said that sounds more like insinuations than genuine questions.

House is too small and SWMBO would have something to say..I also think we'd argue politics.. :)

Still..do you get to vote for London's mayor ? . If the answer is yes ? but you don't vote for Labour and Kahn is Labour ( I presume ) then if more Londoners voted for him than voted for "the Tory candidate..Just means you lost..Democracy. You can't say well "I didn't vote for X" even if the...

You could just not go to London.. Like I don't go to Paris* ( whose mayor / maire is Anne Hidalgo, who has a similar scheme ) and who I as a non Parisian ( and proud of it ) didn't get to vote for. Are you a Londoner ? do you get to vote for the mayor in London ? * I don't go there because it...

Here "traverses" ( french name for them ) untreated general public price https://www.beiser-se.com/traverses-de-chemin-de-fer-palette-de-24-pieces.html Which by my rough calculations and allowing for exchange rates means they'd be about £7 each more expensive here. but in 2000 size from Vente...

We had all avoided mentioning that / those ..lack of . Also ..perhaps "Frank" is of the lady persuasion..which might explain the cartoonist's difficulties with AC and DC

Here most of the audience / spectators don't care who wins..they either go out and watch ( it's an event that is near them, passes through their town / village )..or watch it on TV , to see the towns and villages ( that maybe they know ) that it passes through. Apart from the "hardcore Sunday...

Once you accept the concept of talking deer in a living room , on chairs with lacy things on the arms, and a car headlight device being held by one of them..the small things you have to let slide. Probably a cartoonist ( maybe drives a Tesla ) who isn't very "practically minded" like most of...

That's not that big, more of a "small short joist" than a sleeper..IIWY..I'd try asking if they ( either the people Jameshow mentioned ) or anywhere that sells oak ( even sawmills ) if they have any seconds, ( ones with splits, not quite straight etc ) unless that would be too "rustic" , you...

New oak sleepers ( dimensions ? ) sounds very spendy..unless you fell the trees yourself as I do , going to be outside cutting trunks shorter as soon as I've finished this here sandwich break, if it doesn't begin raining ..again..

"they can surely just press them out these days" made me smile.

If they are ex-railway sleepers then worrying about rot isn't going to be an issue.Choosing plants that won't mind the stuff that they were soaked in when they became railway sleepers might though.

if the OP is like me ( and I suspect many of us here, including yourself Phil ) he already has acetone and mineral / cooking oil to hand and doesn't have to go out and buy any. Plus brake fluid is available in the shops almost everywhere , all countries ( if one has neither of the foregoing...

Not everyone always has access to the same branded products..Which is why it's helpful to know what works, rather than a name on a tin which might not be available everywhere..or the shops might be shut / amazon not deliver etc. If the answer is always "just use X brand" it might as well be...

it would appear that the rivets are made from iron https://www.ebay.com/itm/334344982233 this might also be of use http://accordions.com/vociarmoniche/en_reed1.htm and this https://frment.com/general-parts/accordion-screws-findings/ although these , from France appear to be solid aluminium...

Brake fluid works better at penetrating and loosening than WD40 "penetrating oil" does.Brake fluid"s viscosity is lower than that of penetrating oil, and it is the capilliary action that you want to draw the stuff in.But it also strips paint, so be precise in your application of it. The WD part...
