They were stealing petrol. Or avoiding ULEZ charges, Dartford crossing fees, etc.

Do the tyres have "rim protectors", only on the side labelled 'outside'? https://cdn.tiresleader.com/static/img/guide-pneu-rebord.jpg (rubber sticks out further than the rim, so you can brush a kerb when parking and not ruin your wheel)

I think it will just sag. It needs something to pull the metal bit behind the wall forward, to actually clamp it to the plasterboard.

The half nut is to pull it against the wall. The d-hook will fit over the pan head.

How about a pan head screw with a half nut threaded on, then a washer, and thread the whole lot in?

BBC news went at the same time. Severe lightening at wherever they transmit the signal up to space? (i.e. if the weather is fine where you are, so it's not you receiving signal that is the problem).

The cheap ones are not "core alignment", they are only 'cladding alignment', which increases losses. Also, some professionals require an image to be saved of every splice they do, the cheap ones don't save anything.

It's usually about 70% of the nominal size. You can measure it with calipers to find the "root" diameter. So for a 6mm screw you want a 4.2mm pilot, but 4mm will be close enough. And a 3.5mm pilot for a 5mm screw. Don't try and drill it all in one go, the drill's flutes will clog and you can...

Then join it in the loft with a BT77A box and buy some 2 pair CW1308 cable to continue the run to the new master location.

I thought it went through the loft and down the front of the house? i.e. there should be more than enough cable if you pull it back up into the loft and re-route. Always avoid joins where possible. I'm sorry, Harry, 1 pair is very rare. Normal is 10b dropwire, which is two pair.
