Some reckoned it was impossible for Bumble Bees to fly but they fly anyway.

I have been wearing varifocals for over twenty years and would not have any other type now, I very rapidly adjusted to them from bi-focals.
The only time I found problems was fitting things on ceilings because you are trying to see close up work through the distance section.

Varifocals seem fine for me in the workshop but I do find myself looking head down on stairs instead of ahead.

Edited for auto spelling to bi-vocals ha ha.

Hi Peter.

You have 4 motor wires to the switch because all the start winding and the run winding connections were  taken to the switch, your motor connectors look in poor condition and need checking out.

Do you have an ML7 manual? I think it is properly called ‘notes on operation, installation and maintenance’ an internet search might work.

Be very wary of the wiring on old Myfords it can be very dodgy from age and users dabbling etc so needs proper testing and inspection and a rewire often makes sense, e.g. plain green earth wire went out in the 1970s.
Do you have suitable electrical work experience? I’m not being rude there!

Depending which iPad/phone you have fingerprint recognition seems a good way to get around multiple button pressing.

If you have a Timpson store in the area ask them about it because they repair phones and tablets (Apple screens included).

I’m no expert just a satisfied customer.

Many of my trendy neighbours have wood burners in their houses and I am surrounded by the fumes most winters!

Having spent my school years in London with dreaded smogs the last thing I need is more pollution in later life.

As she seems to want advice why not try and put her in touch with a professional organisation, (Charity).

There is a WW1 Battleship being restored, apparently they’ve found 38 colours (shades?) on it!

During lockdown RS have sent me several parcels in more than one box size also a large bag containing some flexible conduit.

As far as I am concerned the combination of RS and Parcel Force has provided superb service, all deliveries on schedule and well packaged.
Considering that we are still in a Covid Pandemic the use of odd boxes is hardly worth bothering about (IMHO).

I thought we are not supposed to talk about Politicians on this Forum.

What an interesting building, that could be a nice diversion off the M40 next time I head to the Midlands.

My Wife says she would be guaranteed a fail on the 5th box down because it says “the subject must tap with his hand”.

We used to be with BT until recently and I always found it best to talk to them about possible services etc on the phone rather than using other methods.

I do not know what other providers are like (yet).

That Hobbies Fret Saw takes me back to my youth because I had one of those, I think it was donated by an elderly relative for my modelling efforts.

The machine could be hard work for a skinny lightweight kid, saw blades broke very easily, the drive belt tended to break or come off quite regularly but good work could be done on the machine with plenty of practice.
I think mine got damaged beyond economic repair during a house move, expect it went to the scrapyard.
