Congratulations to both of you

My Grandad had a bottle of that, I thought it was woodstain

I had a similar request on a different make of wellies, it is to stop people claiming a refund, and then selling the faulty wellies on an auction site or similar, when I returned my wellies to the shop, they cut the branding labels off and returned them to the manufacturer as proof so the shop would be credited for them.

For all you George Michael fans, came across this on my hols last year

I thought Screwfix was a dating site.

You can still buy some spare parts for them, I lost one of the threaded lens collars and thought they were for the bin, Viking Optical managed to get me one. I will replace the straps as advised by Dougy for some a bit wider

Hi Roy, for STARs think about a real example that has happened and build on it, it is about what action you did, and the result, not a theoretical scenario. Think about a time a customer came in with a persistent fault, it was the first time the job was allocated to you, supervisor wanted a quick in and out, you checked out the car, no immediate faults, supervisor pressing you to get the car back outside for the customer, you had a read of the previous customer complaints you had not got on the job card, noticed something other technicians had missed, had a look on manufacturers tech site and warranty claims database, found a similar issue that was the same model of car, rechecked and think you know the problem and the fix........then back to supervisor to explain why you had spent an extra hour or two on the car and the work needed to fix it, result, car fixed and not returned with same fault, happy customer with faith in garage restored, supervisor respects your judgement call in this type of problem. You knew the customer was very dissatisfied and also the car was crucial for their mobility, so you wanted to get it right for the customer, but also retain a professional relationship with your supervisor.

You may need a more specific example to talk about, if they are using "Targeted Selection" style interviewing, you will need to describe the Situation, the Task you were doing, the Action you took, also the Result, together these are normally referred to as STARs, and what you get scored on. Try and rehearse an answer.

Completed it

I have been on them a couple of years, I have changed types a couple of times and dosage, Simvastatin seem to suit me the best, I could not cope with the Astorvastin, made me feel terrible, ask your GP to try a different type. I also need to drink plenty of water as they make me very thirsty just after taking them

Ratatouille

When I was in Sydney last year visiting family I came across the Bin Chickens just wandering around waiting for somebody to chuck something in the bin

I don't feed birds in the garden but neighbours on both sides do, I end up having to deal with the rats, this one had been on the fat balls

Congratulations, that is a great achievement. We are on 34 years, I will let the Mrs know we are only at the halfway stage.

Yes, responded

I collected it for 25 years, I will let somebody else collect it for the next 25

I should probably swap it for something just as useful, any suggestions

I pulled this out of the cupboard earlier thinking it was a forgotten gun box, until I opened it. I wished I had left it in there. I never did get round to building a castle, house, garage, shed, dwarf wall, BBQ

He must have drove all night to paint that one !

Brilliant picture, a day to remember, well done Frankie.

When I worked at the car auctions I got sick of customers complaining their parcel shelves, mats, radio fronts etc had gone missing.

Have a look at the front of the tractor before thinking about taking the sump off, most of the older MF tractors used a big heavy cast iron "Stressed" sump where the sump is used to mount the front steering beam and radiator etc, you will need to make sure you can suspend the front of the tractor once you start to pull it apart. This is why trying to flush it out first is an easier option. Good luck with it

Thank you for putting the link up, what a great way to spend the day, love watching stuff like this. I have a photo from the Royal Rock pack in an old book Thanks

I have some from when I was a teenager, they must be 40+ years old, forgotten I still had them. They have discoloured a bit. I can post you a few. How many were you wanting ?

It comes from the book John Macnab written by John Buchan, it is a good read
