    Of course he abused pupils

    Yes. I have moved from Tory to Reform. I balanced my thinking by looking at what has happened to the Conservatives. As I said, after Camoron, they couldn't seem to want to rely on any one specific leader, especially poor Truss who only lasted for two minutes. Then there was Treason May, who...

    Reform Policies

    A very considered comment! Perhaps you can show how each specific comment of mine is 'tripe', providing clear proof of your opinion. It is very easy to call names, but providing evidence of your assertions is rather more difficult, I think. Go on, try to give a clear reaponse to each of my...

    Reform Policies

    I'd suggest a general collapse of all of them, apart from the trendy Green vote. Trying to lump Reform with the Tories is a false premise, because the latter have also fallen heavily. I should add that lumping the Tories in as the 'Right' is incorrect; they have become more like the Limp Dems...

    Of course he abused pupils

    I certainly voted for Brexit in 2019. I'm not sure about the general election about that time, but at the time I would probably have voted for the Tories, as I always have done. Of course, more recently, I have realised that they are not the political party they used to be, especially when...

    Reform Policies

    There are several graphical indicators on here which suggest pretty much the opposite thing. Most of the coloured lines I think are quite predictable, especially Labour and I think that this is probably down to one specific man, who I need not name. He has certainly brought in many changes...

    Of course he abused pupils

    What a very interesting thread I have just come across. Lots of disagreement and falling out. Great! Anyway, I should quickly mention that I support Farage and Reform UK, as I see the party and its leader as the only possible means of resurrecting the country, especially after five years of...

    how are the Mice getting in the house

    I agree. We have two and I hardly ever see a mouse. Even when I do, it's one that the cats have brought in. (If I can catch it, I will always let it out again. After all, they didn't come in on their own!)

    Garden shed recommendation

    Well, if such is the case it would be nothing like the Keter shed I bought all those years ago. A little worrying, though, that a Keter product has turned out to be unreliable or poor quality. Apologies to Opps, btw. You did say a small cupboard, and I obviously misunderstood. Nevertheless...

    Garden shed recommendation

    Well, to be honest, mine is on an elevated stone platform which supported an old rotten wooden shed before I got the Keter. As for leakage through the roof, I have never seen a drop, and there was absolutely no need to seal any joints. Perhaps they have changed the design. I must say, though...

    Garden shed recommendation

    To be honest, our Keter shed is still as good as it was several years ago, and no leaks. I'm not sure whether your cupboard is similar to our shed in any way, but perhaps it is not as well designed or produced as well as our shed. Of course, it is a long time since we bought our shed, and I...

    Intriguing ('made for Britian') Clamp meter!

    Thank you. Another person who remembers the traditional counties. Yorkshire is even worse off: it now comprises four modern 'counties'. I still refer to the three Ridings.

    Police officer found not guilty.

    Yes indeed. Rather like that other copper who arrested someone but was then charged with a criminal offence for doing so. This country is falling apart. The ones in charge, especially some judges, don't seem to know right from wrong.

    Tadpoles and leaves in pond?

    Well done, Odds. I applaud your giving help to birds. They can't get to my pond (though they sometimes sit on the net and think about it), but I do put out food on a bird table (which the squirrels also use) and a hanging basket, along with a bowl of water well above ground. I am very happy to...

    Tadpoles and leaves in pond?

    I have a net covering the pond, so the tadpoles and perhaps the young frogs might have found it difficult to come out of the pond. I have left a suitable gap in the net at the back of the pond and the adult frogs can (and do) come out through that area. There's no way a bird could reach the...

    Tadpoles and leaves in pond?

    Yes, I'm sure you're perfectly correct. In any event, there are initially hundreds of tadpoles, but only a small number of frogs so they could have been eating each other. I wonder whether that might be an advantageous solution for overpopulation of humans too!

    Tadpoles and leaves in pond?

    We have tadpoles every Spring, but by the Summer they are either all frogs or have been eaten (by the goldfish?).

    Random loss of TV signal

    I agree. I don't like the BBC, but the wife does so she pays for the licence!

    Legit MS Office?

    I can fully agree that LibreOffice is good. They also have a very good online site where you can get answers to any problems. My version of MS Word went tits-up some months ago and I didn't fancy paying for a new one, so I thought I'd try LibreOffice. Definitely recommend it.

    Random loss of TV signal

    We do occasionally find a programme on ITV disappears half-way through. We have to go back and find the programme and re-load it. Quite apart from this problem, I'm afraid that ITV is no longer the best channel on television as it used to be.

    The phase out of ice engines..

    I am not going to end up in a slanging match with the EV brigade. I say, leave them to it if they're happy with all the drawbacks. After all, we live in a free country (or used to). I'm sure that time will tell, and they will quickly do a U-turn!
