Sorry -my mistake BBC 4 it is

Mick

Channel 4 at 11pm on Thurs 16th, "Handmade in Hull" compasses/fishing nets/Fishing boats its about craft traditions incuding boat building

Mick   🤓

If a masterclass in presenters/news interviewers interrupting and talking through people is needed you only need look at news channels, eg. BBC / Sky News etc, ask a question and 10 seconds interrupt with another one deeply rude

Mick

I agree George, i watched it too, history is a major interest lf mine, was very good, the presenter has made some good programmes, I like Michael Woods who is very good

Mick

Known in the RN as " bottlescrews"

Mick

Strikes me that some people are never satisfied, thought it was a reasonable heads up but there you are,personally I thought it was well presented and very interesting

Mick

Watched an interesting programme on Channel 4 last night about the refurbishing of BB, its worth a look folks on catch-up. The clock mechanism is really impresive, hope there are going to be further episodes, mind you the cost has risen from 29 million to 61 million and they have only just started but still worth it I think

Don't know what a bit coin is and don't care, I agree with Cornish Jack

If you only go out at nights and have no reflection there could be a problem

As a qualified fire equipment service engineer in a previous life my personal preference is for Co2 and AFFF ( acquiesant film forming foam) they will cover any fire you are likely to have in the home or workshop, never liked powder myself,if let off accidently or on a small fire it reduces visibilty, is not good for the lungs and will get into and ruin computers etc, this is my own opinion

Regards Mick

Point taken Kwll

Mick

Thanks to all who took the trouble to post advice, I think the answer for me is the insulation one, I take the point about de humidifing the whole of the UK, I have tried draughtproofing the garage with limited success and none of my workshops are heated, my lathe and millers are in the house just a shaper in garage so as I say insulation is for me

Thanks Mick

I don't use any social media, no online banking, use a debit card don't have a credit card, no loans and yet I am still amazed the information that seems to be stolen by various bodies. People are selling my information to third parties, I generated this info it's mine if they want to sell it ask me first and pay me if I say yes. The only good news is trying to access the government gateway for a tax question apparently I don't exist ( my tax still gets took)one page said it was checking my credit reference then told me couldn't verify my identity and didn't allow me in, I have been using this gateway for some years okay to submit my self assessment forms, who knows what goes on !!!!!

Grrr Mick

I am incandescent, watching the shadows final tour on u tube, wife has surfaced and likes tipping point and the chase tried the itv app and have to register name password and what colour nics are you wearing WHY  ???

Why should I register they want to know the ins and outs of a cats ass talk about big brother I'm getting heartily sick of this constant intrusion into my private world

Mick 

Thanks gents, I think I'll try the celotax route and see where that gets me

My garage is around 18'x8' it has a corrugated roof panels bit like the asbestos type but I don't think it is asbestos, I do get condensate on it in the cold weather but I don't know which is the best solution to this, I am leaning towards a dehumidifier, what size I am not sure, any advice would be welcome,is insulation a better alternative if so what type is best

What number mag is it in, I am having a bash at Harol Halls design, like to see other versions

Mick

I am still getting these A things with a squiggle over the top in some of my posts and I don't know why

🤔 Mick

This is true ega, "Rabbets"  was the term used in the RN
