Hi Anita.

You could try the contact details here for Colchester Model Engineers.

Colchester.

I am too far away to help personally.

Useful machine if you have all the other parts of it as well!

I was not offended but found your reply a bit puzzling as I had said that Edge works (Quite well in fact).

I moved my own computing to Apple some years ago but it is surprising the things that seem tied to MS.

Post removed, decided it’s not worth replying to.

Came with the families W10 PC and it works.

No idea about anything else to do with it.

Chronos, Arceurotrade, RDG and Myford have given really good service to me during lockdown.

I have to give a mention to RS and their brilliant ongoing high level of service (order by 20.30 and it turns up next day). They are not specialist ME suppliers but a look at their cat will show lots of stuff for our hobby.

I have no connection to any any of these companies just a satisfied customer.

If you are looking for Markal products there is a company called Walters & Walters in Hertfordshire who stock the make.

A quick search should locate their website.

Windy it’s good to know that I still have the odd memory cell working in spite of lockdown.

Inspiration went to Beaulieu unfortunately that was after my last visit there.

You would have to do a bit of investigating on the following:-

pretty sure I saw a streamlined steam record attempt car in the Lakeland Motor Museum on holiday some years ago.
The pictures kind of rang a bell as well.

I just added that linked article as part of the general chat on the subject.

Being spied upon is obviously not new (who did not know that?).

I think it has been made easier with modern technology and the way people have embraced it plus many giving away personal information so readily.

Oh dear always bad to hear a good supplier is going.

My last set of Dormer drill bits came from them brilliant service and a good price.

That may have appeared since I posted the link.

I do not use WhatsApp (or much social media) but do know that it seems popular, apparently I am very old fashioned preferring a phone or email to communicate.

Try Inverter Drive Supermarket they are specialists in the stuff and very helpful to the confused (I was).

A lot of the things you are looking for come under the Control gear heading on their website. Linky here:-

Apparently we might be getting listened to whilst on our phones.

Who’s listening

As things are generally supposed to be getting back to some sort of normality soon you might just be luckier on that one.

Three years ago my licence turned up 4 days after taking the eye test.

I have seen a company called Landylift recommended by people on this forum.

This is a link to their advert: Landylift

Pleased to hear you seem to be making progress.

My licence took nearly 8 weeks to come after having the test at Specsavers.

And a Beeston in Cheshire.

This may be relevant (or not).

I was told many years ago that Stainless Cutlery should not be kept next to (touching) silver plated or silver cutlery as the stainless will discolour and the plated stuff will lose the plating over time.

Must admit that I have no idea if that is true!
