Just been to the Post Office to send a 60g package in a jiffy bag. Said I needed it there fairly quickly. She said "I can do next day?" I said "How much is that?" "9.25." "And it gets there in the morning?" She actually laughed. "No. If you want it there in the morning, it will cost..." Get...

https://share.google/ZIPTDHJNKhKes5hLn I think there's only two ways to sort this out. Don't serve alcohol on planes. Breathalyse every passenger at the gate. UK passport holders who are over the UK drink drive limit get refused boarding with no refund, or the airline sets the limit.

Is he being selective?

We don't wire lighting circuits in 0.75 flex.,.

This must be about 10 years old now. Went to put it on one day and it was dead. Checked the socket, fuse and lead continuity, as it was squashed where it was pushed back. They are all fine, so it's not a simple supply issue. Any ideas, before I call someone?

Parents in law rang the other day with a query. Their boiler had gone off overnight, and following my previous advice,they discovered the boiler MCB had tripped, so they reset it. There was still no power, so I talked to them on the phone and said I could point them towards changing the 3A...

First time this year. Will do the interior another day.

He says Chagos handover is an act of great stupidity. Yet previously, when meeting Starmer at the WG, he had agreed it was a good thing! Then, to add to the ridiculousness, Badenoch wades in and agrees with Trump!

Need to replace it. I have looked on Fleabay and Azamon using various names, keywords etc... have found similar things for metal lockers like you'd find in a swimming pool changing room, but nothing like this. It's off the back box on my mobility scooter.

While tidying up papers, we found the invoice for a couple of nights for a brief stay after our wedding. Two nights in a bridal suite with a huge spa bath, breakfast and dinner...£300.

About to replace our Which? recommended Indesit vented TD. It has had its bearings replaced twice before and they are failing for a third time. Which? don't recommend vented dryers any more, as they are horribly inefficient. The one they do recommend, which is at the same time labelled a best...

As some know if they have followed my threads, I bought a 58" Hisense Freely TV for the lounge and moved the 50" LG Freeview Play TV into the den. Before I had the LG, I had two old Samsung Freeview TVs from 2013 and 2014. The aerial is chimney mounted and feeds both TVs. It is split at ground...

I have resolved to do 5 things this year, three of them diet-based. 1. Continue to lose more weight. I broke my ankle in three places in November last year and was bed-ridden from then until mid January. Which afforded me the opportunity to lose a few stone. Well, 4 to be precise. 2. Eat more...

Says Musk, when the UK Government said they wanted to make abuse of Grok illegal.

Seems a dreadful shame to skip them all. Any thoughts? All old stock.

I've been using Screwfix for decades, since before there were shops. Since around 1993 I've been ordering via SF Direct and getting deliveries. I am doing a load of tidying up and found a catalogue dating back to Spring 1999. Some of the prices are as follows: 1999 Turboflush macerator...

Looking for one. I had one back in the 80s, Legrand, 1984, with unsheathed live pins. Had two screws securing the cover, rather than the usual one. From memory, it was around 18mm. I think they are well obsolete now, but is there another brand that is similarly svelte?

Inquest finds runner was electrocuted in 'rare and complex sequence of events' | ITV News Border https://share.google/ueTm623ecWZjTrb9G A similar thing has happened before. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-35413237 They admit to relying on the public to let them know if there's a...

I've just bought an Envirovent Silent 100T fan. As usual with modern stuff (I'm making myself sound a real old git now), the instructions are absolute pants. There's a piece of paper implying that you throw away two items attached to the fan (a cardboard insert at the back and a foam spacer...
