  1. Past hour
  2. Rubber or PVC full suit. Leather jacket under that if it's also cold. But your boots+socks will get wet ,unless covered in rubber too. I can't see other materials tough and durable enough to resist pouring rain all day.
  3. I've tried many synthetic jackets ,but many are just for advertise ,a lot of horse sht , even in motorcycling equipment... The longer you stay in rain the more chances are water will get in through somewhere... What I found it works is thick leather AND a good grease(animal preferably as ducks use 😁. ) or even synthetic. Grab a thick (at least 2-3 mm) leather dry jacket ,a cotton rag big as your palm a bucket of grease(I use grasso foca-Reflex) and start "massaging" the grease in that leather. Insist on stiches, that's where water gets in from my experience. Of course ,eventually you might get wet in a leather jacket too but it will take some time. At the end of a normal 12 hour work day in rain you won't be wet. But the jacket will be. You must dry it the time you sleep(if you sleep at least 4-5 hours). Not direct heat, just dry hot air room. Other issue is the jacket will protect you but the pants AND boots will also get wet... In extreme situations just a plastic rubberized "suit" might keep you completely dry. Not that I'm a "rubber sicko"/Latex fan but that's what will really keep water out from your clothes be it light rain or pouring rain ALL day/12 hours or more. Latex by itself is not as tear resistant as rubber. Keep that in mind. But a thick rubber clothing over the leather jacket will keep water out and the leather jacket will keep you warm. Also the rubber coat must be long enough to cover your legs until boots. Or all water will drip ON your pant and INTO your boots... Don't ask me how I found that out... 🙄 Cheers.
  4. We won’t know unless they release the data you mong 🤷‍♂️that’s the whole point of the article ffs.
  5. Is yours still doing what it says on the tin? @Mark Bolam
  6. Today
  7. Of course... You're british,right?! 😁 Around here in Romania we have electric 2 wheel "things" going 90km/h on Highways... And it's worse the more East you "dare" to go... Basarabia/Moldova, Ukraine, God forbid you step into Russia... Anything is possible in Russia... Aliens are afraid to visit Russia... Anyway...
  8. Lucky it didn't get propelled up the chute. A good reason not to stand in front of it and to keep the truck rear window protected.
  9. So what facts can we pull out of this? Lots of use of "may" and "could", then the figures a million excess deaths in 2020, that's around 0.1% of the population and also included covid deaths!!!

  11. Get down there with your new air rifle Steve 🙂
  12. I've tried most jackets and haven't found one that keeps me dry all day in really bad weather.. I've settled with 2-3 midrange coats and spare tshirts and swap through out the day. I think if you spend £200-£300 on an expensive mountaineering jacket it will keep you dry all day but id probably but a hole in it pretty quick
  13. Thanks Guys, the only saving grace is I have an old unit that the bearings in the head have gone.. should be able to just swap the heads over if drying out doesn't work
  14. Don't worry Gabriel, I only drove it a 100m along the pavement at 3mph and had someone walking in front to scoop children out my way, and I was sober, very safe!
  15. As title suggests, i got very wet very quickly last week! my old jacket is now leaking like siv... (arbortec smock) what's everyone using in 2025? want something actually waterproof, not soft shell that is resistant for 10 minutes. if I'm climbing ill take the thing off regardless, so its more for ground work/ being out in the woods finding trees in a downpour! TIA
  16. hope he has valid insurance. Even here in Romania a law has been passed to oblige all electric scooter, bicycles, etc to have a valid insurance... It's like a nuthouse anyway here... You could be on your merry way on a one way street and still encounter some electric "thing" on 2 or 3 wheels going 50km/h... On your way, as if you SHOULD expect some lunatic going the wrong way... And not one has a driver license, nothing regarding traffic rules... It's disgusting allready... Even in parcs or sidewalk is like that...
  17. Epstein files: Who else was mentioned? WWW.BBC.CO.UK Michael Wolff, Larry Summers, Peter Thiel - who are some of the other names mentioned in the newly released files? Some of the documents mention Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the former prince and brother of King Charles; US President Donald Trump; Trump's former advisor Steve Bannon; and a cast of other characters from the world of media, politics and entertainment, who highlight the extent of Epstein's contact book. Trump was a friend of Epstein's for years, but the president has said they fell out in about 2004, years before Epstein was first arrested. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
  18. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s had ‘warnings for my safety’ after posts by Trump | Marjorie Taylor Greene | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM One-time Maga loyalist diverges with Trump on issues including Epstein, so US president has withdrawn support
  19. Having olives and lemons and that is nice like, but I'd rather they couldn't grow in this country. We're starting to get viable vineyards around the place as well now.
  20. That's good going. I've always worked on the advice that supermarket bulbs can have viruses. Looks like you've dispelled that as a myth.
  21. That's the most practical mobility scooter I've ever seen 😁
  22. Logs etc can be dropped off behind the chip shop pop into the shop for some grub as a thanks 😉
  23. I’m pretty sure the toilet didn’t break itself most of the inmates are used to using a hole in the ground so I don’t see this as a problem if they don’t like it they can go back home
  24. Can also deliver to the allotment site next door if your truck is too large for the road.
  25. Rats as ‘big as cats’ and leaking sewage filmed at ex-RAF base housing migrants APPLE.NEWS Photos and videos from the former military base Wethersfield show rodents and broken toilets welcome to the uk!!! We have a rat issue on our estate(backs on to a farmers field); we didn’t make the paper though
  26. What have you got?
