    Bringing goods from the EU

    No, but let's be honest for a minute : a good part of the brexit idea relies on xenophobia. The usual BS : foreigners stealing British jobs and living on benefits. I strongly believe many people voted in favour of the brexit with some xenophobic mindset.

    Bringing goods from the EU

    So you really think they would move their company to EU and offer (expensive) expat contracts to British people for the sake of it, instead of hiring cheaper local workforce ?

    Bringing goods from the EU

    Do you need to pay to get the Daily Mail ?! :oops:

    Bringing goods from the EU

    I think you get that point partially wrong. Indeed, UK was a net contributor to the EU budget, so in a way they paid for what was advertised as "paid by EU". However, one thing many brexiteer forgot to tell is that EU is financing many large projects across EU. When handling these big projects...

    Wanted Veritas skew rabbet plane

    Yes, they have been out of stock everywhere since nearly a year now ! Have managed to do rebates with my plow plane, but it's less than perfect. I have few projects in the pipe now that require lots of rebates, so one would come handy. Maybe the shortage is a sign that I should go for a Philly...

    Wanted Veritas skew rabbet plane

    It seems impossible to find one at a retailer, so if someone has one and doesnt need it, I would be interested. Preferably PM11 blade, but O1 or even A2 will be fine.

    Bringing goods from the EU

    Well, if you have visa free travel, then you have freedom of movement. Or are you talking specifically about the freedom of movement for workers ? Which is a different thing.

    Bringing goods from the EU

    Seems a bit like an antinomy, no ? Or were you expecting freedom of movement for UK citizen only ?

    Amazon versus Screwfix

    Good point. I used to buy a lot from Amazon, but got fed up with their attitude (not paying their taxes thanks to some dodgy fiscal schemes) and it seems since few years that their website is just a chinese sh*t catalogue. Needed to buy a funnel, and this is a good example : Walfos 3 Pack Red...

    Damp workshop - Improvements ideas

    Well, I guess a new door might help then... Any experience with a dehumidifier ? Considering getting one to reduce the overall humidity.

    Humorous marketing efforts gone tasteless

    When I lived in Finland, I used to buy some crackers from the following brand : Rape They tried at some point to launch their product in US without bothering changing the name :rolleyes:

    Damp workshop - Improvements ideas

    What do you mean by sarking ? The OSB board under the felt ? I think I'll get the door fitted and see if this improve the situation. If not I might add some insulation between the joists. Doesn't have to be perfect, but never nice to see your tools & machines rusting like crazy :confused:

    Damp workshop - Improvements ideas

    I will get some proper insulation once the roof has been changed. Might put something temporary in the meantime. I just hope a new garage door with draught proofing will improve the situation.

    Damp workshop - Improvements ideas

    Thanks Mike. I don't see any condensation, nor water dripping. And I had a look at insulation panels , but it's gonna be expensive for something that would stay just couple of years at most. I think when replacing the roof we will go for a fully insulated roof (I think it's required now to have...

    Damp workshop - Improvements ideas

    Hello, we moved in a new house 2 months ago, with a pretty nice double garage. After repointing the walls and painting the walls and floor, it starts to look good. However, I have a humidity issue : humidity level is between 80 to 95%. It is a cold roof garage (non insulated), with an old...

    Mortice machine

    Actually I have one for sale ! It's an Axminster (something like the AC16BM). I bought a nice Japanese chisel and it worked well ! Didn't use it much (was bought when living in a flat to minimize the noise). Since then chopping by hand 🙂 Let me know if that would interest you and if Stafford...

    Bringing goods from the EU

    I think you have a very good point here. It's fine to have a difference of opinions, and some can be in favour of brexit and some against it. As long as there is some reasoning behind (and respect for the other side) But it looks like nowadays people don't bother to think. They read something...

    Bringing goods from the EU

    really... :rolleyes: that was a long time ago you know, the world has changed a bit since then. Sure, we all saw how brits managed Dunkirk, Market Garden, Caen, etc As someone else mentioned, i believe US and Russians did play a fairly big part. I think it's a pity to see the UK leave, and...
