You want whisky and lager to be illegal? Coffee?

It may very well have plain bearings. If you take it apart you can clean it out with a paint brush and white spirit. Don't apply oil because fine dust will constantly be blowing through and will stick to the oil. You could try a dry lube like PTFE or graphite powder.

Yes, it improves profits for organised crime. Can you think of any other benefits of prohibition?

Unless the tank has no lid, the humidity is likely to be coming from a leak. It might be soaking into the carpet.

The benefits to organised crime in banning sale and supply are highly relevant. That's why you want to avoid thinking about them,

legalising the alcohol trade is justified by the reduction in damage to the public by a legally operated and controlled business, the benefits to health and safety of the public, and the reduction of profits for organised crime. All very moral. I have no objection to business paying taxes. Do...

Keeping the illegal drugs trade profitable enriches organised crime and damages the public, Same as Prohibition did in US. The criminals don't want it legalised because they make so much money out of it.

"Boards" like distribution boards were always steel IME. Steel CU's in houses, less common, except perhaps in larger sizes or posh people. This house was built with a 12-way steel Wylex, with those pop-button MCBs. My old mum's house was rewired with a similar one in the 1970's. 8 way I think.

No, the thing you will notice about the curve is that it has no numbers on it. So it does not tell you where any particular rate of tax lies. People who don't like public services will try to make you think that lowering the taxes they pay will be a good thing But can't find any evidence of...

Yes, the Silent range is very good. Water vapour is lighter than air, so rises towards the ceiling, so put the extractor up high. And preferably above the source of steam, but furthest from the opening through which air will ge drawn into the kitchen, such as the door. This will also prevent...

I must have missed that. Won't a steel cabinet comply now?

Highwayman seems to be obsessed by drugs. Why is that?

The Bra Baroness is not foreign. Nor is Matt Hancock's sister, nor his neighbour who used to run the pub. Just Tory chums.

I was quite surprised when I found that some CUs are made of thermoplastic. IME accessories are usually made of thermosetting plastics like ABS or Bakeite, which will char, but not melt or flame.

So not what you wanted to see.

Were you hoping to see blood and severed limbs?

No change in policy.

Opening the door would be an effective way of making the kitchen cold, and, depending on wind direction, blowing steam and cooking fumes either into the house, or out of it. A 20th century solution would be to add an extractor fan or cooker hood with a duct going through the wall. Hoods are...
