I had an appointment today, for my pre-operative assessment. Yet more bloods taken, and the third time within 7 days - I'm thinking to get a tap fitted, ready for the future. Whilst on route to the hospital, I had a call from renal, to suggest they want to have my heart checked in detail. I only...

Berry Magicoal's assets were all bought by a company by the name of Unidare. Unidare, specialises in storage heaters, so they may be worth asking.

Sorry! It was intended for another thread!

I didn't understand, because I simply didn't believe anyone would be so daft as to do that.

To my eye, it looks as if the pins have broken off, on the alternator, leaving just a rusty mark, where they were. That itself seems odd, usually the pins would be brass, rather than steel. It suggests to me, that the regulator has been replaced in the past, and whoever fitted it, didn't...

I didn't understand that, am I the only one who didn't?

Did you miss 'and an 8mm splash back, on top of the PB'?

There is no precise measure, the mix, is what suits the job at hand, temperature, humidity, and speed of working. The answer to which, will be become obvious, as soon as the OP tries to use the mix.
