    What's the point having a watch that's waterproof to 200 meters. You can't dive that deep. 

    Unless you were planning a trip in the Titan. 

    Water-resistance ratings for watches:

    Use these guidelines to choose the right water-resistant watch for your lifestyle:

    Rating Water-Resistant to Suitable for
    3 ATM 30 meters/100 feet Everyday use. No swimming.
    5 ATM 50 meters/165 feet Short periods of swimming. No diving or snorkeling.
    10 ATM 100 meters/330 feet Swimming and snorkeling.
    20 ATM 200 meters/660 feet High-impact water sports and some diving.
    Diver 150-200 meters/500-660 feet Scuba diving.

    When I was at Bradford Uni in the mid 70s, there was a little chippy in Manningham Lane who not only fried with beef dripping, but also used a coal-fired range.

    The quality (haddock, not cod) was spot on and the flavour sublime.

    My newlywed, London born, wife had never tasted such good fish & chips before.

    There still is one in Upton near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire.

    A proper traditional, coal fired chippy using beef dripping. Problem is, it’s only open Friday night and Saturday lunchtime.

  3. On no, just found this thread and the video has been removed, would have loved to watch it.

    I spent many a happy hour shooting flies off the house wall with an ASI repeating air rifle some fifty odd years ago. Best shots were while they where mating, two for one most satisfying even though pellets were dirt cheap.

    Definitely some sort of 'mining' bee. There are many types all of which are totally harmless (no stinger) and extremely helpful for the environment,,,, except when stuck on the end of a needle 😕

    Around 67 species of mining bee in the uk, so precise identification may be difficult.

    the reason i ask is some old boy in the village where i growed up ......always had a wee on his toms on the way back from the pub....and he won prizes with the produce.....

    i dont like raw toms but i liked growing them and giving them away........so i peed on mine once every 2 days ............BIG MISTAKE ..........within a week i had to replant.....as the other ones looked as if they had been ariel sprayed by AGENT ORANGE.....looking for gook gun emplacements

    No, but I usually urinate on my plums. I just can’t help it. It’s an age thing. 😟
