I'm not entirely sure that I'm happy with the changes to the 2nd chamber in government. Taking away heredity peers satisfies some as they can be seen as privileged and out of touch but have the whole of the second chamber dependant on the wim and wit of one person - the PM is if anything, I...

Please - NO! Especially If you have not been shown (trained) to use one properly and safely as they can be so b****y dangerous. Using one close to the ground can cause the chain to pick up soil and stone shooting it around. Buy a reciprocating saw instead; a bit slower to use but far more...

There is lots of Miele help on the web (utoob).

In the 1980's my then employer issued an edict that all 'squirrel stores' had to cleared from buildings and disposed of appropriately... Less than a year there came a request for numbers of equipment parts to build some test kit, of course by then no one had such components surplus and so the...

my wife would be worried cause those drawers aren't full and I bet you can close them easily! The vacant space would excite my wife.

Used to have a stack of clear plastic boxes to keep 'stuff' together and out of the way; the boxes finally failed due to UV degradation. Replaced with a home made chest of drawers, the same size as the plastic box stack. Can I find things in there now? Not easily as the wife puts things away...

I'll be contentious - I'd say you have to have been in full employment or in University education for 2 years before you can vote.

Well my opticians, a small family business, tells me at end of my last 3 eye tests/examination tells me my eyes are good to drive with; he also says if he didn't do he would request my licence and car keys as he wouldn't allow me to drive any more. Certainly gives me the impression he has a...

Looks to me that the window company are expecting you to reuse the existing (concrete?) cill. Think you also need to check the existing opening measurements - both internally and externally. It's possibly to late now but I think you really to discuss the new door fittings with the manufacturers...

Once the putty has 'skinned' then an Oil based primer or undercoat is OK. Once that has cured then any top coat. Linseed oil based paints attract birds I've found.

NNOO! In a cold already damp house will only make the conditions worse. see the comments in This thread!

Milliways!

How (are we changing to a more productive and higher skill economy)? To do that we need to reduce the cost of employing people for one. Bring back proper 'Indentured' apprenticeships - to make that more attractive the tax on employing the apprentices should be removed for another.

My local butcher would question that as 'fillet'!

I do wonder if Starmer resigns who would replace him - I don't see anyone in the present mob who could be effective and less damaging to the national economy. However, calling a general election could (should) lead to a more balanced government.

Buying car insurance - Online. WTF does it take so lloonngg, 2.5 hours start to finish, thought doing things online was supposed to quicker and more convenient?
