Gary you have reminded me of that event we had 6 pumps that were it what was termed 'pump house' it was below ground level and when that storm hit the sump pump couldn't cope with the amount of rain water and it started to flood but fortunately as the pumps/motors were on concrete beds the water didn't damage the motors.

Prompted by the scrapyard thread what's the strangest thing you have seen, in my case as said previously I worked in a steel work back in the 60's when we had the corn beef scare lorry loads of opened corn beef tin were brought to the steel worked to be destroyed they were tipped then a crane picked them up and dropped them in a large pile the pile was say around 50ft high rats were quickly attracted to this free feast very soon the pile of cans was covered in rat's, rat's standing on rat's the whole pile covered in furry bodies.

Bob/Peter The machine which is related to the email address in question is not connected to the Internet neither is it anyway related to my name. So as you say I try not to over think it but it does intrigue me as how how they got hold of it

H

In my younger days I worked in a steel works we had three large scrap yards each served by two overhead cranes when we went to repair a crane I always had a nose around No3 yard was a pile of cars which were crushed so rich picking the other two yards had smaller stuff I would be on the lookout for starter motors or dynamos which I would refurbish and make some extra money

H

I once had a cat who would go out the cat flap in the back door but would only come in through the front door didn't have the sense to back around the back to get back in if we were out

I have one of the pumps in the above link which I use for testing the boiler on my 3" T.E and would consider it well over the top for Duncan, the one I use for my Stuart 500 boiler as a 12mm ram and keeps the boiler fed OK when supplying steam for a Stuart No9

I would agree with john kennedy 1 remarks in the above link
