Absolutely no one....no one at all. Treat every interaction as a dubious one. I have had 5 recent attempts to take money via false Barclays bank emails. Having worked it out on the first one I got very angry at the persistence. Barclays was just shrugging their shoulders and saying sorry...

How curious. The older people have lots of experience, often just know how best to deal with a problem....the young don't. They have never seen the problem, need to talk endlessly about it and take ages to take action. Its the lack of experience. Older people have more money or...

I looked at US prices today. US price £85......UK price. .....£170 to. £240. A complete rip off. I could buy US + UK VAT + import tax and still be at least £65 better off. Think blames its dealers and UK taxes but that is a poor excuse and a poor response. I will now get rid of...

Some 12 years ago I looked at my plastic waste pipe ducting which was 110mm and thought I would try to move to a larger size. I was buying a new DC as well which could be adapted to take 200mm pipe. The issues became apparent early on. Either metal or plastic 200mm pipe was not just very...

My trip via Tesla to Glasgow,Preston,Derby, Bristol and back to Crowthorne will not now happen due to Being in Tier 4 lockdown. A shame as it would have been a good test of charge stations across about 1400 miles of the UK motorways. Contacts have been replaced with Zoom conferences...

I bought a Bosch track saw and 4 pieces of track inc a very long one. I have found it to be at least as good as Festool with a few added extras. eg The individual tracks are longer so better loading and unloading. Superb track joiner is much better than Festool. I was late to getting a...

Andy, My mistake. I wanted to show the kind of company you should look at for an answer as to what lock. I did not realise I had inserted details of actual locks. So just click on the company logo and you should go to the product page and search. Al

I have used Chinese Hardwood ply at 18 mm and 12 mm. My supplier takes great care about what he stocks so there is some likelyhood of a fair bit of quality ply. I like this stuff as a lower cost alternative for not so important spaces. Not as good as birch ply but I think good enough...

You need to look for a half mortise lock. One that has a sheet of brass on only one side. They can be "handed" L or R As well as your existing measurements you need to measure from the top surface of the cabinet to the mid point of the key escutcheon where the widest part of the keys barrel...

Yes and maybe. Yes because how the hell else are we to get parts of a specified shape from more than one supplier. How would you fit a chuck to a drill if there were no standards as to thread size and receiver sizes. Maybe because there are times when a standard is wanting in scope. I...

I'm not a hard core user at all. I use my grinders about 2-3 times a week only. I've bought 3 of the adjustable spanners as recommended by porker. I was not aware such a device existed. Today popped into the unit I rent and talked to the mate next door about the toe rag who took my...

Just called my son to cancel our Xmass get together. Will miss my grandson and son. BUT this new Tier 4 lock down is overdue. The R rates have been increasing above 1 for 3 months and no Gov'mt action. So not surprised, selfishly being self concerned but not raging. As a diabetic I am at...

What I now know is that a scumbag working in the unit alongside mine took it. Will have words tomorrow. I keep my grinders layed out in a box so I will the spanners in there also.

Thank you porker......who would have thought it. Ordered 3 for tomorrow.

I have an older Hitachi grinder which has done enormous amounts of work for me over a long time. The spanner used to change the discs has gone missing. Is there a standard or a particular size to get. I ask because my other grinders use a slightly smaller spanner so they do not fit...

So just completed two days of travel a la Tesla one journey of 60 miles another of 90 miles. Nothing of any note to report. Just plain sailing. Recharged at home so nothing to report about charge stations. Cost of travel not calculated yet. Tesla holding up well, no faults, no fuss...

Most of my journeys until the new year are a max of about 90 miles so well within the capability of the Tesla. My next long journey is Jan 5th from Crowthorne to Glasgow, then Preston, then Derby, then Bristol and eventually home. Will be interesting to see if the Tesla can cope with...

Yesterday I completed my second EV trip in the Tesla. 349 miles each way with an overnight stay....due to my decrepitude. Covered 245 miles after leaving home....impressed. Pulled into the Mway services ( not named or shamed) and found that all 8 of the Tesla chargers were occupied....had...

Made my first journey by EV today after the handover from Tom. Just about magic for the journey. The drawbacks were few and possibly self made. For example I found myself the night before the journey fussing to charge the Tesla from my household supply. Took 6 hrs to go from 45% charge to...

Yesterday I took delivery of my swapped Tesla from one of my Techs. We had to have a meeting to do the swap as he explained a few things about the Tesla. That is:- 1) I need to have at least 5 or better 7 credit card ready accounts with charger station suppliers. What.!! It seems once...
