    hughes fish fight

    obvious answer is to give a quota for so many fishing days at sea. That way your catch is all you catch on those days If it is lots of cod then shows they have returned, then easy to add extra days or lose them depending on the catch for the year. This way there would be no need to throw dead...

    Workshop electrics

    Just stumbled on this thread I can't believe BAS - I have never meant someone on a forum so up himself who thinks he is so right and every one is always so wrong. I posted a question on another thread - rather than try and answer the question he looked back at some of my previous post and...

    what to wire a couple of our outbuildings together in

    I never found the rotary cutting tool any good - always found a pair of side cutters as quick and never got jammed like the tool. Your point about lights on different rcd devices is something that hadn't crossed my mind tbh - certainly worth considering

    Party Debate

    biggest fault with Labour is they want to try and control every aspect of our lives. Paralysis by analysis as someone said which is totally bang on. Let the teachers teach, they know want is best for their school. Let nurses nurse, its not rocket science why do they need all of these...
