I managed to remove the broken hinge. Ended up using grinder to cut slots in tamper proof screws and the pins to aid their extraction. The replacement hinges come with x2 packing pieces but the video is not clear as to which one to fit. Weather is rain for next few days so plenty of time to...

The Veteran's ID card is a relatively new initiative. Legislation by Parliament will be required to add it to the formal list of acceptable ID like the Passport and Driving Licence. Its going to happen hopefully soon as many raised the matter at recent election polling stations where the...

Since I retired in 2010 the Navy has extended the age of retirement for those in specialist positions. I know sailors who are now retiring at age 60+ All these would be desk jobs though as a life at sea is still one for the younger ones.

Its due to our natural charm and tall stories of sea monsters and jaunty sea shanties. ;)

Joined straight from school at 16 as a Junior Electrical Mechanic with only Cinderella leave until I was 171/2 years of age when the 'Junior' dropped. I always had to excuse myself from the chicks in nightclubs before midnight with an excuse that I was 'On duty'. :mad:

Annoyingly there are Veteran badges being sold commercially so our badges are not unique :evil:

Hi All Anyone experienced the changing/repair of Anglian Door Flag Hinges? My 20yr+ conservatory door upper hinge snapped when I opened the door and fortunately I managed to catch and shut it again before the bottom hinge went. I hate to think what could have happened if one of my...

The government is giving 16yr olds the vote as they are considered responsible individuals. So why are the same 16yr olds considered as being children in a court of law when they have done wrong?

To clarify, I was asking of their meaning - I have since noted that Self Consumption refers to that from PV and Consumption is from Grid.

Hi All I've recently had a tree removed but now wondering how to plant the corner to improve privacy. The bay tree to the left is a lovely tree but young plants are slow growing and mature trees cost a bomb. Another option is to extend the hedge from the RH border. Any thoughts/recommendations...

Thanks Ericmark. A lot of info there and a lot to think about when managing the battery. Hopefully the AI mode of the MySig app will offer some info with which to guide me. For info, my Sig Energy system comprises of: 13 x 440w PV Panels - Configured 7 panels facing south (PV1), 6 panels...

Hi All I have just had a 13 panel and battery Sig Energy installation and now spending the day toying with the app watching the figures of solar generation during this perfect sunny day with no cloud in the sky. Now waiting for the certification and other details from the installer to enable me...

And the Trump team are probably sweeping up the stocks and shares as their prices plummet, and will pocket $$$$ when he does change his mind and the markets recover.

It would be interesting to see how many of the Trump administration are buying these stocks and shares at bargain prices as they plummet. In a couple of weeks/months Trump will begin to reign back on the tariffs and pocket $$$$ when the markets recover.

But didn't the colliding ship change course just before it hit? I can understand a closing ship with a constant bearing would generate a warning on the net, but a late change of course would be tough to mitigate.

In its 75 years of existence, NATO has not indicated any threat to Russia, or any interest in crossing Russian borders. Putin's allegation that NATO poses a threat to Russia is just his ploy to continue land grabbing.

There is very little the anchored ship could have done to avoid the collision. The ship underway should have a bridge team, especially when transiting a busy sea route. The ship at anchor should have a watchkeeper to record regular bearing sightings to check ship is not dragging its anchor.
