True patriots doing what our trecherous politicians won't. Group of Brummies from Raise The Colours went over to France and destroyed the outboard engines and equipment buried in the dunes on the beach that will be used to bring more illegals to these shores. These men need medals.

George Orwell was 40 years too early, but he was right.

Very interesting video revealing a few things I wasn't aware of. It's saying that during Johnson's short tenure in no. 10 he managed to allow in 3.8 million legal migrants. In the near future a significant percentage of them will likely be granted indefinite leave to remain. This will mean...

DEI in action. Is this the future?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mrpl2208no First Two-tier pretends to go hard right on immigration, now the French are abolishing ULEZZER/Critair zones in their cities. USA has abandoned Net zero apparently, and Sweden is going into reverse on it's demented immigration policies.

Got a wc pan that needs replacing as it's cracked and where it joins the cast soil socket - it's leaking too. The toilet is upstairs and the CI stack is outside - other side of wall from bathroom. The CI pipe for wc comes horizontally through wall. It's all over 60 years old. I'm going to need...

Our treacherous politicians have realised that heat pumps in old buildings are ineffective, too expensive and noisy. More accurately, 'their' old building. So have ditched the idea of installing them in parliament following unsuccessful trials...

My mother's house is still on ye olde fusebox. It has four fuses - 2 x 5 amps for light circuits, a 30 amp for sockets ring and a 15 amp which I think is for cooker and/or immersion. The fuse box is under the stairs and she wants a double socket in the hall (no socket at present) - which would...

Helping out with a kitchen install and came to wire the new Bosch induction hob in. There's 5 wires and don't seem to be any instructions available, or they're amongst the piles of rubbish somewhere. The wires are blue, brown, black, grey and earth. Can any experts say what to do with these...

Time to replace the rear brake shoes on my 2004 Mk1 Scudo 2.0 Jtd van. Unfortunately all the brake shoes I've replaced in the past have been manual adjusters on the back plate - had no experience of auto adjusters. I have a few Qs for the experts - 1) Would I need to replace the adjuster (van...

I need to move a double wall socket 2 feet to the left. Existing socket is on a metal back box sunk into block wall. If I sink a new box for the new socket, can I join the two 2.5 mm ring main cables in the old box using Wago or 32A push in splice connectors to two new lengths of 2.5mm? These...

I have a lane that runs behind a property with a gargage and space to side of it. The garage is derelict and the space beside is just earth and brambles. I want to demolish the garage and use all the space for two side by side parking spaces. Is tarmac a suitable surface where cars will be...

So true! :giggle:

I have a bog standard mortice lock with handles on an internal wooden door. It need to be changed so there's a thum turn on the inside. Can any experts tell me what's available for mortice locks and wooden doors please? Thanks in advance.

Approx every 3 years or so I have to replace the pull cord switch in my bathroom because they soon start to play up. It's not like they get loads of use. Does anyone make quality pull switches that might go the distance? I know it's possible. My parents still live in the same house they bought...

First have to say I would never entertain such extravagance of paying for Satellite tv myself. Too much of a temptation to vegetate in from of the 1,000s of channels - even though I often find there's still nothing worth watching on them. Been staying at my brother's for a few days of cat...

In the last 3 years I've removed both struts on my 2004 Scudo 2.0 JTD van to replace a spring and shock on one side and spring on the other. This required removing the two bolts at the bottom of strut that hold it to the hub knuckle. Recently I was reading about another vehicle where the strut...

After the Scots handled the situation when they tried to blow up Glasgow Airport few years back, it showed that they won't put up with this nonsense. This video reinforces my opinion. It also reinforces the freeloading attitude of 'arrivals'.

I need a new multimeter. Can anyone recommend a reasonably reliable meter suitable for light DIY use please. Nothing fancy/expensive - nothing Fluke!

I've got a tricky little job with difficult access to do on the 2004 Scudo van and decided I didn't want to have it balanced on jacks/stands and be lying on my back. Possibly with gearbox oil running down my arm. I decided to use a rent a ramp place for a couple of hours. Just wanted to know...
