    Who was our 'best' Prime Minister?

    Brexit would never had occurred but for Bliar's desperation to be a/the headhoncho of the EU. He thought by not restricting immigration from the new 8 countries they would support his ambition. Instead it backfired badly as so many British tax payers objected to the amount of migrants and the...

    What have you been doing today?

    The Ottoman will be used for storage of fabrics so a smooth inside is needed. Outside will be covered with padding and then vinyl/leathercloth.

    Bending Plywood 6inch internal radius. It will be an Ottoman when finished. I also bend the framing - essentially the bends on the frame are laminated - sliced down to 2mm leaves, steamed until hot and wet, bent on a jig and allowed to cool, then taken off the jig, very thin slices of the...

    So is just an East Anglian occurrence or a National one. In the Ipswich area there is one of the best (and best known) hardware shops closes its doors in the next few weeks. I went there yesterday to see they have a closing sale on - I did actually want a specific tool which I know they...

    Internet wiring, is this correct.

    Me thinks you have another connection point between images '6406 & '6409. In '6406 the blue-Bl/Wh pair the white has a continuous blue trace whereas in '6409 the Blue/white pair the Bl/Wh has bands of Blue on the white. That could be causing your problems.

    ID cards, are you scared?

    I'd say it's being done through the 'back door' this time. Have you changed your driving license recently? Moved home? Changed electoral registration details? Renewed your car insurance - That is checked against your name and address on the electoral register. I have - every time I've been...

    How’s Rachael from accounts getting on…..

    Brigader, I don't mean we more money in the pocket by someone (such as HMG) handing it out on a plate but by reducing taxes by direct and indirect. The present Tax band holds are becoming a disincentive to get a pay rise. I agree that the common man usually gets more cash by changing jobs but...

    How’s Rachael from accounts getting on…..

    For the second time I'm at the point where I move into the next tax band. As much as I don't like paying tax and the 'Progressive Tax' word I'm beginning to think the Scottish idea of several more tax bands could be a good idea. Done carefully it could be less painful. But I don't see how this...

    Current experiences with car servicing?

    I couldn't say but with the distances driven in the USA - the chap I was working with his daily commute was 75 miles each way, as was many others in the project. I think the average car annual milage would be in the 50,000 miles region. There are/was a large number of 2 or 3 YO cars with over...

    Current experiences with car servicing?

    Since we are talking about Oil (& filter) changes I'll mention what was the norm in the USA when I was there on company business for extended periods (1997-98) - There the Tyre 'shops' also did Oil & Filter changes for a reasonable sum - depending on the amount of Oil used the cost was between...
