    Cumbria floods

    Hi I’m also thinking of everyone affected. Here in South Worcestershire we had terrible floods in July 2007. Water flowed down the hill behind the row of houses we live in, couldn’t go round, so flowed through! Luckily it just ran through, but still we needed new carpets, curtains and some...

    Greg Rutherford's long jump...

    Hi All Just as a matter of interest, I believe that the use of the plasticine strip was a British idea, though no doubt if you look on Wiki etc you will see that it was the Yanks who did this, as they were also the ones who rescued an Enigma Machine from a U boat (according to the film) Phil

    World Wars

    Hi I was just typing a response to another thread and I used the words 'Second World War' which started me, in a QI way, thinking, what other 'World Wars' have their been? My vote to the first World War, would be the 7 years War in the mid 18th C. The same two main protagonists, YET AGAIN at...

    Fireworks poll

    Hi I like some organised displays, especially small local ones. BUT nothing beats having your own with the kids around and potatoes in the bonfire with hot sausages etc! By the way, my step grandfather apparently used to let off smaller rockets from a gloved hand!! Mind you, had had been in...

    Wedding rings

    Hi I'd go with Glynne's suggestion. My wife designed her engagement ring which I had made in the Jewellery Quarter. My daughter and her husband had their wedding rings made there at about half the retail price. Even if you don't have them made, there are so many jewellers there and so much...

    Buying British...

    Getting back to the thread!!! A couple of points, though I should point out that many tomes have been written on the subject! Car manufacture – We build many different marques, the difference is that in the mass market, there are none owned by British Companies. Many foreign manufacturers...

    Royal baby

    Hi On the whole, I'd rather have a royal family than a president. Just think for example how much the current president of France has (or has not) squandered on personal gratification. Surly a non political head of government is preferable? Or is that too political!! Phil

    hospital tip

    Hi I hold no real grudges against the NHS even though most of my relatives are doctors nurses etc! BugBear is 100% correct in that the demands for health services will always outstrip supply as medicine continues to be able to ‘cure’ more and more ills with more and more expensive treatments...

    Lest we forget ....

    Hi Mark A and any others, Verdun is absolutely worth a visit. Villages wiped out and never re-built, an excellent museum and the French memorial with a good proportion of men from their colonies. Even more impressive is the vast Ossuary. My wife swears that she hear moaning when we were in...

    Wall insulation

    Bob Hate to disagree, but the main reason that thermos flasks work is, as their other name implies, Vacuum. Heat does not transfer across a vacuum, or so I learnt long long ago at school. Phil
