So I’m moronic, unthinking and uncritical. Ok. You are clearly a Brexit obsessed little Englander with no evidence to back up your wild conspiracy theories. Thanks for putting words in my mouth that I did not use. Your insults are typical of those who have nothing to say. Go back over...

The Civil service is unfit for purpose. It is made up of do nothing fairly useless people who in the past 50 years have relied on the EU for everything and now know nothing. I would fire at least 40% of them and not hire new people. Utter waste of money and time. Your rant attacks the...

What is becoming obvious is that the Government is comprised of people who lack common sense and drive to get stuff done. I feel most of them should be encouraged into other employment. The Civil Service is just incompetent and so cowardly that they are unable to act in anyone's best...

options:- 1) make a wooden one as a replacement 2) make a rubberised mould and then fill with resin + the bolt 3) turn a replacement from a resin blank Al

Unless the gloss is water based as well in which case there is a good chance it will work. Best to try a small cup with both paints in it and give a quick mix. See what you get at little cost.

I simply ask myself What could we all do. Could we restrict Tube carriages to say only a max of 20 people at a time instead of the insane crowding. I have stopped going into London for these reasons. Would TfL have enough people to manage this. Maybe they travel in full PPE for a days...

I would replace that capacitor first as it has some signs of burning on the case. It may or may not be trashed but its not worth the risk for a few pounds. Taking the motor apart and replacing bits is also a mornings job if you are ready and tooled up. You would need a bearing puller of...

Some sense in there AJT. I had no musical sense, sound or hearing until I was 31. I learned to play the piano and to read music. I even entered a few competitions over the next 3 years. Then I heard an American playing the Sax and was lost to "normal" music and learned to play the Sax...

I don't have much experience with grinders unlike some here but my approach was born out of pure rage and frustration. Grinder vibrated like a vibrating thing vibrating. Solution was to remove both wheels and just run it with a dial gauge attached which baffled me because although there was...

gwaithcoed, I recall an article in FWW about a man of your age who had developed a few ways to assist his work. I was interested because I have a lot of pain in my left hand due to bone degeneration. I will search back in my copies of FWW to see if I can find the article and send you a...

I was on a course when I was in my 40's which was about leadership. A part of the course which was given out as a bit of a joke was to go outside the building from about 11 am and try to find a tramp and take him for lunch. Out of twelve on the course 3 of us managed to take a tramp for...

City17, You a rd right and I was feeling rather churlish so my regrets and apology. Looking at this again there are several good points. Namely the ability to move the fence so accurately. I particularly like the DRO above the table as well as the readouts. I had been thinking...

Automatic up to a point only. There is no auto feed of the stock only a manual pass through. Given me some ideas though.

Thanks for correction re 75m souls in the UK. Office of National Stats says 66,435,000 as of today Worldometers says 67,805,347 as of April 9th..today. As to testing the 7.2 m French I do not care enough to comment other than to say they would not test the English and within that attitude is...

Well you could ask a neighbour if they would loan a wall paper stripper to you. Transfer at a distance given the current climate of anxiety.

So sitting here today in my almost abandoned business I ask myself "What is the desired end game for all this lock down stuff" 1) I am 72 so I am at risk and keeping very much to my self. My business would collapse if I were not around to keep it going. Not that I am indispensable merely...

Earlier I had moaned and groaned about business issues we were facing. You all may not be interested and if so please let me know and we will desist from putting up any business type messages. We are currently using homeworking as a way out of the dilemma for both support techs, sales and...

I have Bessey, Irwin, etc etc in all about 40 clamps. I am faced with a contract due in 2 months for an 18Ft long board room table which is 4 ft wide. I have estimated that I will need around 20 or so new clamps. The cost of these clamps is prohibitive at around £1300 or more if made by...

Ah the liberals reply. How quaint. Behind my current annoyance is some 35 yrs of doing business with the Chinese, most of Asia and the so called West. Try doing business with a country which does not recognise my right to own my product through patents or copyright. A country which...

Why have UK journalists not been following up properly re the C19 virus. Stupid and unquestioning and lacking any investigative prowess the Uk journo's need to be sacked and replaced. See here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEJ3VOA76qQ See...
