Smaller farms aren't turning the profit they used to. My longest perm of about 30 years converted a cow shed to a large dog friendly tea room and other buildings to dog grooming, childrens play area, walking Alcapas, farmers mini market etc. Its now an afternoon out for people and is making more money than the farming they did. They were lucky not to be stuffed up in flooded areas that to my thinking MAY have become blighted by possible cloud seeding to make climate change more believable.

Given the lefty plod result her beergate boss got one can only hope its not the same fine upstanding officer who makes a decision about her.

I'd not be surprised if that was a western/Jordan backed gameplan: Israel attacks Iran a few weeks ago, knowing it would lead to sufficient escalation and cover story to wipe out Iran's nuclear preparations which are said to be nearing fruition.

Seems the too political Liniker has got the boot from Walkers - Becks is their new high profile ambassador. I've not seen gobby on the BBC lately either - hopefully they dumped him too.

In the case of Ukraine - I understand the west made a commitment to assist them defend themselves if attacked if they gave up there nuclear missiles in a disarmament deal. That may or may not include NATO - I forget.

Yes, that's why sound levelling doesn't work.

Some latest thoughts are Iran used mainly quite slow drones that could easily be intercepted as a bit of a show to their own people that payback had taken place - but they seemingly don't want a full escalation. Some did get through with only slight damage (allegedly) UK, US and Jordan aircraft took most out before they reached Israel.

Some sets have Sound Levelling options but I found that didn't seem to work for me.

And a good proportion of them getting top up benefits for declaring low incomes - in addition to the non self employed one's. Many employers exploit the low wages they can get away with because of benefit top ups.

Thanks for the advice. I was wondering if anyone still had a copy of an "old" pre May 2018 manual that might list the complete code flowchart - in case the last part of it had been discontinued. Having found the code flow "chart" I'm satisfied it was a section 2 steering issue (all suspension types) rather than a chassis issue - and it sort of ties in with taking two days and zero miles to obtain and fit a replacement part before passing the MOT. Thus I can honestly claim in a sale advert there is zero mention of any chassis corrosion: there is no chassis welding work done on it anywhere and none needed. I think it will make a classic car with the right owner and IF it comes back to me as driveable when the clutch is replaced it will be an exceptional condition forecourt car. Some of the better one's - with welding repairs - are fetching up to 5k and apparently someone bought a welded up one for 7k a few weeks ago.

Good going for an air rifle.

UK terrestrial TV had to keep adverts at the same volume as a program. That doesn't seem to apply to satellite TV and I too have to keep adjusting the volume.

Tents are good enough for them on beaches in France - so let them live in slightly nicer tents on our beaches and nuts to what the wokies have to say about it.

Had an Eastern European name that I wouldn't be able to spell or pronounce.

Correct, I'd have checked his ticket for the vacant slot. There were two of them, very large and I wasn't well enough to demand why the buyer didn't know how to spell the name on the licence, its not my job to check driving licence details.

I'd asked other interested parties to wait till he'd been and it was late. He'd travelled about 200 miles for it - guess I should have refused the sale eh?

Someone bought an X-Trail I'd done up and had to read how to spell his name correctly from his driving licence.

The Munty?

Huh - the mystery has seemingly sunk to someone not knowing what to enter as a fail - but made it look like it could be a chassis corrosion to a layman by recording this part in the fail description: mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-private-passenger-and-light-commercial-vehicles/2-steering The upshot is the full 24a3 code is not used Contents 2.2. Steering wheel and column or handlebar, forks and yokes, Show 2.3. Steering play, Show 2.4. Not in use, Show 2.5. Not in use, Show

Thanks Stephen. So are there any EX MOT testers here? The MOT rules apparently changed in May 2018 and I'm wondering if some of the bracketed codes no longer apply so are difficult to find on a search. This is the currently sorn car's MOT history: https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=x93cwp Every fail and advisory has a code at the end which appears to be some form of section flow chart to a specific defect. I have found an MOT code breakdown here: https://www.protyre.co.uk/mot/mot-failure-codes that ties in with other fails and advisories. It shows part of the (2.4.A.3)breakdown I'm looking for as follows: (2) Section: 2 Steering and suspension. (2.4): suspension general. (2.4.A): All suspension types But I can't find the (.3) bit. I realise its small potatoes but this has got my curiosity going so haywire I just HAVE to try to find out.

Maybe consider signs on several pieces of 2x2 hammered into the ground, set back a few feet from paths etc?

The fact it originates in Gwent is hardly surprising considering how stupid the politicos in Wales have become.

Can anyone detail this bracketed MOT speak/code please? >(2.4.A.3)< I'm doing up another Shogun Pinin project car that has zero chassis corrosion to be seen - very strange for a Pinin I know but it can't have been used on salted roads. Looking into its previous onllne MOT history I find a fail detailed as below. I've seen many issues of Pinin corrosion, inner sills, turret tops and inner front wings, cross members etc but cannot find any sign of any corrosion repair and suspect it was an MOT con job on a naive owner and the pass was issued 2 days and zero miles later - and there are no subsequent corrosion issues. Could it maybe mean something other than chassis/welding? A really minor issue I know but when I advertise it I want to make a reference to the absence of any corrosion repairs because its so unique. I'm happy to give the reg number to anyone who is in the know. Date tested 4 December 2012 FAIL Mileage 34,137 miles ..... Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
