    How difficult can it be ?

    Take it into a dealer or a shed with loads of display models. Try all the caps until you find one that fits - even if off a different marque. Get dealer / shed to order it.

    Which Noise cancelling ear defenders?

    BOSE - Buy Other Sound Equipment. A massive avoid from me. Amongst many, I have QC25 with the wire problem (Google it). Customer service = zero. Replaced with Sony.

    The bicycle is the slow death of the planet. "A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: they do not buy cars and do not borrow money to buy. They do not pay for insurance policies. They do not buy fuel, do not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. They do not use paid parking...

    WEMBLEY TICKETS England v Scotland Fri 18th June 2021 KO 20.00hrs One of my mates has two tickets in a corporate box for the England v Scotland game. He paid £300 each, but he didn't realise when he bought them that it was going to be the same day as his Covid 19 postponed wedding. If you...

    Record Power join the Made in Britain organisation

    I did this - a British manufactured impact socket set. It looked like it was made from scrap bits out of the parts bins and bore little resemblance to what was advertised on the web site. Zero customer service from supplier or manufacturer to my complaints. I would have got better from...

    Mitre saw

    Maybe also consider maximum cut and blade size also? Of the three you mention the Bosch 8 and Dewalt are both 216mm blade size. The Metabo is larger at 254mm. The big Bosch GCM 12 GDL with the two Z arms is 305mm.

    "Ok who folded the plans the wrong way?"

    It makes my former workplace in Basel seem tame. Watching the window cleaners was interesting - so how they get on with those above is anyone's guess!

    Vegetarians move along, nothing to see here.

    Of course they don't. If they did they would start to ask questions about how many litres of red diesel is required to make one litre of biodiesel.

    What have we become?

    Not out of step with me!

    Vegetarians move along, nothing to see here.

    You don't think another group will be upset at the loss of flora (esp) and fauna that lives in grassland environments?

    Vegetarians move along, nothing to see here.

    When working in Qatar the local Fudruckers Burger Bar had offerings like that - with an option of 4oz, 8ox, 12oz and 16oz burgers. My sons always tried the 16oz but invariably part of it came home in a doggy bag (although that may have been their plan). As for ending meat production - can...

    Sawdust briquets

    Rojek used to produce briquetting machines - IIRC sold by Axminster - small one was about 25Kg/hr. Not sure if still available.

    New computer spec?

    One point to add on used machines - they will have wear on moving things like fan bearings. Last summer I had to put a new cooling fan on my old Dell laptop after seven years. There will also be a build-up of dust that needs to be periodically removed - hopefully, a good used vendor will have...

    New computer spec?

    Exactly - and work out airflow directions so all fans are working together and not against each other - remembering hot air rises.

    New computer spec?

    @ Spectric My son loves RGB - on his gamer PC - even the memory is RGB. I hate it! You make another good point about desktops - heat dissipation - I only have 3 egress cooling fans and a souped-up CPU fan on my system but as I type the CPU is 38 degrees and the GPU 41 degrees. The case will...

    New computer spec?

    Another refurb link for you to look at - even if only to compare with others: Refurbished Laptops, Desktops & Workstations: Dell Outlet | Dell

    New computer spec?

    My 8 yo Dell Laptop goes on and on. The Lenovo I bought to replace it is broken in my cupboard. But now I too have reverted to desktops for most things. And multiple monitors as well, as eyesight deteriorates a 24" or 27" monitor is great. And one that rotates means documents can be viewed...

    I blame YouTube, how many more Americanisms are we going to have to suffer ?

    I was discussing making a base for a shed on a US forum - somehow when I mentioned hard core I got some strange replies. (it's rubble over there)
