I know nothing, but as no-one else has said anything yet, I wonder whether the lead is fine but the mortar, or whatever the white stuff is, looks like it's breaking up. I think it might be quite easy to remove that and replace it... properly. Anyway, someone who knows what they're talking about...

What have the poor squirrels done to you? Why not feed them as well?

As one of the many Brexit-loving EV-haters, I really couldn't care less! In eleven years I shall (possibly) be 83 years old and am unlikely to be driving at that age. I can, though, imagine there being far fewer cars on the road when ICEs are outlawed, especially as the UK is unlikely to be able...

Why on earth would anyone want to outlaw the option of a pearl finish to light bulbs? I don't suppose that was just another silly idea by Sir Free-gear, was it?

As a gullible GB News viewer, I agree and would never waste my money on an EV! Similarly, I'm glad we left the EU looking at the things they are trying to do now!

Excellent comment. I completely agree (despite being off-topic!). I can't decide whether the cause is 14 years of Liberal-Conservative 'government', the infamous Tony Bliar, or perhaps Two-tier Free-gear Starmer. Probably all three.

I'd be pretty annoyed if one of our cats walked on one. Which makes me think, if it was in a neighbour's garden would I be able to take them to court for injuring my cat?

I agree. We have two cats (and have had two more before them). None have ever pooed on the lawn. One of them usually uses a specific 'toilet' where, due to regular digging (and subsequent filling in) is now empty of plants. The other goes somewhere unknown to us, but hopefully not in a...

I must say that I'd be interested to know the outcome. On that point, where does it go to?

I was born in God's Own County of Yorkshire, where they are all 'sinks'. 'Basins' are for posh people!

You're welcome.

Try what I did recently when our washbasin was gurgling. Fill the sink as much as you can, then release the plug. Whatever was causing our problem was washed away and the sink no longer gurgles.

Buy an ICE. I wouldn't touch an EV.

It does. My pond has an underwater pump which circulates water out through a filter and back in via a fountain. Usually, the rain tops it up for me. Occasionally, especially in hot weather it does need topping up, but I just run water from the nearby hose for ten minutes or so.

LOL!

I should point out first that this is of no real personal interest to me. However, I think it is quite commonplace for new governments to make promises which, possibly due to matters outside of their control, never come into practice during their tenure. I suspect that this new Labour...

Yes, I have heard about Decking Spiders. Highly dangerous things and have a bite which could be fatal... to a fly.

Sorry to hear that. Marge and I are still very close despite our not having any children, though I think she'd like to have had one or two.

Children, grandchildren or great grandchildren have I none. Had I had any, I wouldn't still be here in this country which is showing every sign of further failure under Labour!

It is worrying to hear how our leaders, whether national or local government, are running things today. Running things into the ground, I'd say. Still, if that's what the majority want, OK. I'm 72 in a few days, so I tend not to worry too much about the future. A shame for the younger people...
