Don't know what that means but binning them and getting on with life works for me.

I value what's left of my life highly and do not squander it on fighting to get my money back after 2 years.

I cannot speak for the smaller brother, I have experience only of the 5inch, but have just changed my regulator from the complicated poppet valve version to a gas valve - the improvement is marked.

I think it is best to choose a better-quality stainless gas valve (just a few sheckels more) and adjust the linkage to suit, but I have found it very much worthwhile.

I think I sympathise with your argument Andrew.

I think you should not think you are achieving anything towards getting what you want by clicking on a web petition.
I think that is a waste of time and the only way to make any progress is to persistently eyeball people.

Any other way just gets thrown aside like a used contraceptive.

I recommend people not to sign the petition.

I think all petitions are a waste of time - they just make it appear something is being done when actually it isn't and causes a diversion. I think they are even more a waste of time than enquiries.

The only thing which does work, in my experience, is to physically eyeball people. They don't like it.

If you were on the receiving end, which would you rather do - read a petition, or face a number of people making their point logically and firmly and wanting commitment to results NOW?

I liked the half crown - and the time when it bought 5 big ice creams or 10 smaller ones, or 10 bags of chips or 6 Mars bars (not that more than 1 was ever bought at a time - to be eaten chopped in at least 6 portions and shared out with the hope of getting an end bit with more chocolate). Two of them would buy 2 gallons of petrol.

Because it was so valuable I never had many half crowns.

So much more presence than a two bob bit or florin.

Quite so!

Agree - I use a metrinch set for most things.

I have full fibre with BT and find the service excellent.

Have been with them for 20 years and have no complaints.

All broadcast transmitter masts and towers were painted (may still be) using materials from a company called Craig & Rose. Some of the smaller ones, just 175ft, were similar to pylons and also treated in this way. I spent about 40 years in broadcast transmission - I just wish we had been able to recruit Dave W - we could have saved a great deal of money in materials, effort, supervision and outage time!

Ah!! memories. And sometimes you got one of the ends - had more chocolate.

Think Marianne Faithful and Mick Jagger inspired fun-size ones.

Bring back full-size wagon wheels!

The poster didn't like it and he went. Nothing wrong in that either.

What it really looks like - presume the marketing dept. would not think of what's going to be hung on them?

Yes, I have a lock box for bigger parcels just beside the door and a notice on the door saying so.
It didn't work well until I duplicated the notice in pigeon Polish from the web. Success.
Perhaps I need other languages too?

Regret to point out all 3 are wrong. The north starts at Spalding, the first place there is real fish and chips.

Like it!

And all this because someone asks about a more suitable epoxy? Amazing.

Mmm! So it's all down to common sense and courtiousness, according to The Guardian.

Have to say I'm not seeing so much of it really - particularly on the roads.

Since I was one of the first to make the point of using mirrors instead of the latest trendy nonsense - I have made sure there are no blind spots which would affect the situation in question.

Yes - why not look in the mirror and use which hand is most convenient? Then you'll probably see cyclists approaching in either direction.

Doesn't work in the photo does it. Driver looking behind, cyclist approaching from front!

There's lots more stuff on cyclists in the new issue - trying to get my head around the "he who is going straight on has the right of way" rule.
