    I must live a very sheltered life, I don't get any of these sort of things, I think if may be to do with not accepting any cookies on any web site, data selling being what it is on the web.

    Buying a fully electric used car

    For the past seventeen years (retirement) bought my and OH cars secondhand and automatic, and never had a problem with either's drivetrain, all of my peers seem to have the same experience, pub talk being mostly about our cars and how many punctures we have had.

    Wanted Single Festool connectors for son’s school A-Level project

    If they as difficult to get hold of as it seems you are experiencing, IMO that makes them unsuitable for the application? One breakage and it's goodbye to the desk.

    Catch for "cupboard" door for exterior use

    They look neat, but I can see them becoming brittle after a couple of winters outside and possibly breakup, agree with others a wooden turn buckle will suffice.

    90 degree joint for lean-to roof joist

    Looks like the front and rear beams are relying on screw connections into the vertical supports/wall, not a good idea to rely on the shear value of the screws, may last a year or so, but eventually will fail, the new posts should have been under the beams, too late now, but letting a corbel into...

    We Will Remember Them

    Very sad story of all hands, but two, one who did not close the escape hatch correctly and therefore no one else could get out including the civilians also lost, this happened in the Liverpool sound on her sea trials, re-floated and re-named the Thunderbolt, when she was re-fitted the bow was...

    Back door steps

    Timber decking can look very good if stained sympathetically. Grey? Or DPM, concrete flush to surface and them whatever you want.
