"ID this petrol station receipt." I joined a bricklayers group on facebook the other day. It's just like the tree groups.

Do you mean the next size down would go round a ring or that you’d buy the next size down if you bought again?
-
Reckon it would splice round a big X ring or a Fiori ring? Or the 32mm or 36mm even?

@woody Paul and @White Noise, how does Polysteel knot and handle?

And while you’re at it, how do I tag someone with a space in their username?

What’s the site traffic like today? @SteveBullman

Surely in the case of a negligent service provider successfully suing their insurers (who presumably didn’t pay out where requested), that’s an argument FOR consumers relying on the advice of insured service providers (though obviously not to the extent of being contrib)?

An area of law I don’t know about particularly. I’m aware of the reputation but bear in mind lawyers probably want ordinary scumbags to believe they (among others) are unsuable. Have you got any experience of it?

I don’t begrudge professional service providers making good money. As long as their service saves me money and I can engage (or not engage) them in a free market, they can name their boat ‘My Cunt Clients Paid For This’ and sail it past my deckchair. P.S. In fairness, your advice seems pretty good whether you have a yacht or not. I just like my yacht line. P.P.S. I have a yacht.

Generally, I’m coming round to Mike Hill’s way of thinking (was credit averse, now less so) but do bear in mind that a lot of people are predicting financial armageddon pretty soon. You just need to be honest with yourself about whether you can keep up payments if things are thrice as bad as you think they might be. Also consider where you get counsel on these matters from. I don’t rely on financial advice from anyone who doesn’t have professional indemnity insurance or a yacht.

“UK in new crackdown on tax avoidance by contractors” Delphine Strauss, Financial Times, May 18 2018 If you need to google it. Be aware you only get one free article a day on the FT website and only one opportunity to look at it. Once you close it, it’s gone.

The FT comments section is pretty good, nearly as useful as the comments section in the Law Society Gazette (which is excellent for the inside scoop on most news btw). Don’t be put off by talk of £1000 a day software engineers. There’s plenty in the article and comments relevant to the vest wearing classes.

They're not free. Rather than just pay 100% of the price for one yourself, you pay 500% of the price in taxation, pay a load of politicians and civil servants to write some letters to Specsavers, and then get the same thing.

I reckon he’d have got away with it with a redirect.

My 2.0 mark 6 has over 200,000 miles now and is still running beautifully.

Was this the one you missed by any chance? It’s a small world after all.

Solar powered water pump (kit?), for the veg garden

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. You’re too modest. -

I just had the broad idea for not using a battery.[mention=33807]openspaceman[/mention] sounds like he knows more about it than I do. I’d be interested to read his component list and why limiting current is more important than limiting voltage (my panels are 250w and 35v ish open circuit so thought that would need regulation down to 12v) if he chose to post one. -

Could you do that with a 10p resistor rather than a £30 battery and a £20 charge controller? The pump would only run when the sun’s out but would be effectively automatic and simpler + cheaper. You could unplug/switch the pump off when not wanted or even just put a bit of cardboard over the panel. -

I’d get in touch with the seller and point out you’re serious. Whoever he’s agreed to sell it to probably won’t turn up. People seem to welsh on deals as a rule rather than exception these days.

They’re going to need forensics bods who know how to get into the flywheel case of a woodchipper.
