Yes, but a really good, well acted film. Only strays occasionally from the facts. Just goes to show how close it was that we had a second appeaser in charge and how little the Tories really trusted Winston at the start. I also think Kirsten S-T deserves a mention for the restrained portrayal...

If you're after an alternate step ladder, I got mine off ebay and cut it to the correct height. The instructions were a little vague but trial and error won out! Phil

Should have been posted on 1st April. Great fun though. Now where did I put my left handed toothbrush! Phil

Yes A list is great, but I seem to find that number 2 on the list involves getting some item so I have to break off to get it and this then leads to 'Mission Creep' so item 2 gets delayed!!!! I was going to go down to the workshop this afternoon but lunch got delayed and so...... Phil

Mark As I live in Worcestershire and am a 'Cavalier' I used to use the Battle of Worcester (1649) as one or part of my codes. However, with so many computer sites needing various passwords, I'm now having to write some down!! By the way, my shed is inside a locked barn and there is another...

Hi My problem is with the key to the padlock on my shed. Twice I locked the key inside and had to take the hinges off to get back in. So, solution, use a combination lock. Now which battle did I use as the code!!!!!!!! (It's an age thing I expect!!!) Phil

In my experience, the hardest thing at the moment is GETTING a quote from a builder (Said with feeling after chasing up 2 builders who have the plans, seen the site and still don't seem inclined to comeback with any price). Phil

Check out Cristian Werner's You Tube video making a horse. Yes, I know it's in German, but the humour coulkd almost be British. Worth 4 mins of my time Phil

Dangerously near 'Money for Nothing' territory here!!!! Phil

And for those who want to know more, try:- The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wolleben - a fascinating but dense (!!!!!) read. Phil

Hi I worked with the BBC a few years back and found the 'management' good at the technical side ie how to broadcast, but poor on almost everything else except for one thing.... How to waste huge amounts of money on innumerable things both tangible and intangible. At this they exceeded all my...

Hi All What a load of Moaning Minnie's!! Yes, some of the craftsmen don't meet all your exacting standards and I'm sure everyone else on the forum can do all the different things such as upholstery, carpentry, electrics/electronics, blacksmithing and turning to substantially higher standards...

Rorschach You're lucky to speak to a human anywhere now. I've been trying to speak to an electricity company who ALWAYS seem to be VERY BUSY so try the internet page, which naturally does not have an answer to my query!!! Phil

Hi Recently got home after a craft show in doors in Worcester. Really bright sun, but cold!!!!! Had to keep dashing to the loo (the only warm room). Bad news is, I'm there again tomorrow (Friday) and in a tent at Croome Court on Sat and Sun!!!! Will therefore go with Novocaine's suggestion...

I seem to have a blizzard of 'Bitcoin' emails in my 'Junk' account at the moment. Keep blocking but they keep on coming!!! Phil

Hi Guys Sorry to disagree, but I have found the series a starting point for ideas of my own. I also think that it is great to try to encourage people to re-cycle items rather than throw it away. Anyway, who are we to castigate buyers fro spending large sums of money on had crafted items?? Is...

Hi All The other problem about living in the country is reliance on Sat Nav. If you enter my PC on a Sat Nav, it shows you a commercial nursery down a private lane about 200yds off the main road (my address specifically states 'Main Road'. Once or twice I have had items shown as 'Returned to...

Hi Pressure cooker soup in 20 mins or less even with lentils or dried beans. Use it to boil up a chicken carcass or beef bones for stock. Phil

No cigarettes, no tax!! So the government would have to look to tax something else. May be woodworking tools!!! Phil
