  1. Ours come in a veg box we have delivered from a local market, usually in plastic bags, and with soil still on them. We keep them in a cool, darkish area, but not pitch black. I thought if it was darker they're more likely to sprout? Sorry to sidetrack your post! Looks tasty anyway
  2. 👍 We struggle to keep them for more than a couple of weeks before they sprout or rot.
  3. How do you store potatoes that they last so long?
  4. Hi Keith Sorry, withdrawn from sale for now. Will be back in touch it it comes available again 👍
  5. Not sure it would drain very well if I filled it with cement and painted it! 😀 😆
  6. It's provisionally on hold for someone. I'm in no rush to sell, in fact tempted to keep it! 😁 But will bear you in mind.
  7. I've ordered the fernox now! But am open to other suggestions... Hole in the tiles is between 95 and 97mm, and there's about a 25mm drop to the grey plastic insert...
  8. Thanks all. Definitely doesn't unscrew, looks like a good clean ans degrease and feenox lsx will do the trick. Will get some now 👍
  9. The grey plastic bit at the bottom is fixed into place. No screw.
  10. Hi folks Another shower question please. When it was installed, our shower drain had some sort of rubbery coating waterproofing the fall from the tiles to the plastic drain. This has got tired and is flaking off. What can I replace it with to make sure all the water flows into the drain, not under the tiles? Pic hopefully attached. Thank you.
  11. Anyone used watchmodcustom.com? Only one review and it's not great - but the site looks slick and the prices are keen. Or moddys-watches.com? Better reviews and still quite good prices.
  12. Thanks folks. I'm open to suggestions, but still leaning towards a 2 tone steel / gold automatic watch with a metal strap. I'd like a date window, and not a chronograph. I'll keep looking. Good to know the Steinharts are well made if that is the eventual choice 👍
  13. I hadn't, I'm not military. Will look at it though, thanks
  14. I like automatic / mechanical over radio controlled... but I'll look at them anyway! 😁
  15. Budget up to £1000 maybe? £500 better if possible... Everyday wear so something that can take the odd knock. I'd consider secondhand, but wouldn't be able to tell a fake from a genuine! Will look at the custom Seikos, thanks.
  16. Hi folks My faithful but ancient Tag 2000 needs a service and some repairs to bezel etc., and it's looking like costing at least 3 or 4 hundred pounds, so toying with the idea of a new watch instead. I like a smallish watch, two tone steel and gold for preference, and automatic. Hence the Tag. I found Steinhart, e.g. https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/diver-watch/diver-watch-39mm/ocean-39-gmt-2-two-tone-chocolate.html which is supposed to be a pretty good clone of a Submariner but at a much lower cost. Has anyone had one of these, and would you recommend Steinhart? Or other brands I could look at? Thank you.
  17. Thanks both, will look into those options.
  18. Hi folks I seem to remember there are some people on here knowledgeable about watches. I have an ancient Tag 2000 that needs servicing, regulating and bezel tightening / adjustment. I seem to remember there's a good watch person on one of the islands around the UK(!), but he doesn't do Tags. And I've used Genesis watchmaking in the past, but apparently he no longer works on Tags either. Can anyone recommend a good person to work on Tag watches, ideally without charging me a whole arm and leg? Thank you.
  19. Hull do a Comp X load in 21g. Not sure about case length, but I've found them nice, smooth (slow?) carts for clays in the past.
  20. I can send you a photo if you like?! Appreciate the help Got another plumber / tiler coming to have a look and advise next week...
  21. First floor. It's a flat ish floor, with only a slight fall down to the circular drain. Cheers.
