    Keeps it simple .
  2. That's how I was brought up . Tinkering with Dad . Basic stuff like oil change and filter , mending a fuse , puncture on the push bike , all normal stuff back then . Not so today .
  3. I only saw the prototype braided wire version . If you remember I tried a version with a cable tie that I made myself !
  4. Hi Andrew . Did they actually fit the limiting wire in the end . I still have the parts ( fitted ) that you so generously sent me ( way back when ) comprising of the strengthened " grey belly plate " ( av mount ) and the barrel shaped AV spring . These seem to solve the problem .
  5. Back in the day my mate ( now dead ) said he was " on the lump " in the building trade . I believe this is an un proved fallacy . He was getting £30 a day when I was getting £30 a week .
  6. I am 68 and get air sick putting on a pair of thick socks ...
  7. Its overcast and muggy here . 21 degrees .
  8. I suspect they are made by , maybe Stihl and re badged . Same as Oregon used to make Husqvarna stuff .
  9. Looks good . A tool store and possibly a stool store 👍
  10. That's how I have always doe it .
  11. Very loyal , intelligent and affectionate birds to their " owners "! Look up Loki the raven on youtube .
  12. I just naturally assumed the fire box would be lined with vermiculite board , or bricks , is it not ?

    Jokes???

    Dresses to the right . Suit you sir !
  14. This . The mining of and production of lithium and subsequently the manufacturing of the batteries produces a fair chunk of pollution .
  15. All of what you have said is probably true and also very sad . Many years ago I worked in a toolroom ( time served toolmaker and dev engineer ) . There were top notch tool making outfits all around the south . There came a time when the grownups decided it would be cheaper to get the tools made abroad . It was but when they came back we were Kept in work putting them right . Just seemed a waste of time and money to me then .
  16. Jonny Walker on Radio Caroline ? It was broadcast from a ship somewhere .
