Pleased to hear that Neil.

What is your organisation doing to support exhibitions? Maybe you are supporting MMEE2022?

Am I right in saying you have phased out your own exhibition and there's no sign of another? Maybe you are banging down somebody's door to hold an exhibition but I can't see it.

I regret to break the trend of a list of costs to get to Leamington from various parts of the country but....
You don't say what your club is doing this year. Even before Covid, club members were starting to say "What's in it for us?"

I sense that feeling to be a great deal stronger now and why bother to have the hassle and inconvenience of organising and running a stand? Does anyone really appreciate the fact?
Top that with the criticism you take from smart****s who just criticise things to look clever.
The last time I went I saw a bloke who knew of some of the inaccuracies of the Martin Evans Springbok design and went round several stands shouting about it.

I think most clubs will have a hardcore of the same few people who do things, but they are getting less.

Isn't it the case that the clubs are getting less interested and traders realise it's not worth them doing either.

People here say it must be supported else it will disappear.
Is there a point in keeping something going which nobody really wants to put on and few visitors really care enough to pay the price to go?

I live within 25 miles but find it difficult to muster enough interest to go. It is mainly the same old stuff, the clientelle is generally very rude - rucksacking and barging, apart from the fact some of them want a good wash!

Just my point of view - it's just a day out, no more than that. Other days out are available.

Yup, can't say fairer than that!

Which makes me wonder why it would need to be tamper-proof anyway?

Mr. Hopper, I think you've been taken in by the incompetent ramblings of administrators Jeff Dayman talks about. I have seen them put up this argument, which, on the surface appears logical.

EXCEPT - even I could set up a system which ties parking to appointments. I know admin people are notoriously poor at admin, but they could, if they wish, have this kind of system.

Please lets not hear the NHS is short of cash and is in dire need of the parking cash! There's enough grief in going to hospital without stress created because parking may overrun or you do not have change.

Yup. Agree. Sense of proportion needed.

The media and Westminster bubble will be saying we have abandoned net zero when/if we start mining coal in Cumbria. Who will have the balls to biff them round the ear and tell them to shut up - we would be keeping our world going whilst moving towards net zero without crippling ourselves in the short term?

Dave, good to hear. They do come up on ebay

Nice one.

The OP showed a truck which is a nice little jobby, which will no doubt be useful for many - who want something light and most of the time no great weights are involved (most of the time for me).

That said, like ndiy, I liked the idea of a sack truck which could be used horizontally. I bought the B&D version, now out of print, presumably because nobody else liked it!
I admit, it is complete crap.
BUT, it has done a hell of a lot of work for me.
It is light and can be thrown into an estate. The other 2 wheels are bigger than most others and help when outdoors. I added some plywood for the bottom.

Cheap and nasty - but very useful for me - maybe not for you.

And will other magazines catch on.
Nuts, Mayfair, Coarse Fishing - the possibilities are endless

I had a friend who came from Scunthorpe.
When I met him somewhere else, he said he came from Shorpe.
He explained there wasn't one in Scunthorpe because he was not there!

Sometimes it is better to use a word which people recognise and understand.
There's the term making love - something which is very loosely defined, as Clinton used to his advantage. If he had used the four letter word, everyone would have understand exactly what he meant. After all - it appears several times a night on the box.

Surely programmers are clever enough to make something which does not just search for a string of letters, but then checks the context. OK, you're never going to find them all, but it could eliminate most of the Scunthorpe effect.

I'm making up some pipes today - just going to search for some nipples.

Agree. Use the remains to solder the wires onto for the exterior switch.

Most of what you say is true about LF being received underwater.

Regret to distort a good story with facts but, communication with submarines is nothing to do with Droitwich Radio 4.

If there was no R4 LF, we would lose only the shipping forecast, Morning Service and cricket. All are available from other sources.

Although there is no doubt a bottomless wealth of knowledge here, MIG welding has its own forum Here

Literally.

Was a word with one meaning, but now has to be included in all speech for no reason, to emphasise the importance, along with "like" many times.

Well said Duncan - with you all the way. There are other similar things e.g. cutting lawns, cleaning cars, the possibilities are endless!

I have another reason for not using cm, but cannot explain why.
I find/found when I used cm I made more errors than when using just mm and m. Just like that for me.

We seem always to arrive at a midway no-mans land - only half changed over. No matter how hard we all try to go totally metric - it seems to be impossible and we have to convert between systems.

They said go centigrade (now called Celsius), and I did, and got used to it and it became natural. Then F still appears and I have to convert.

I have been transferred to BG, my supplier having gone bust.

I find your bigotted statements interesting, and look forward to an explanation as to how you are subsidising me.

We all know we should pronounce H properly in a word e.g. "a horse" not "an oss" when we speak.

How many are pronouncing the letter H, a letter, properly As "aitch" and not pronouncing it incorrectly as "haitch"

Since you are all being pedantic - could I possibly point out you're only thinking of the Wymondham in Norfolk.

I think the one in Leicestershire is pronounced properly (wyemundum)

Yes, the Angela Rippemoff version of guerillas was indeed stupidity.
