Do both batteries serve the same function? I only ask because on my Transit, one was for starting, and the other ran the ancillaries. So my ancillary battery died, but the van would still start. The radio needed the code putting in. Mike.

Sorry to hear that, and pleased that you are on the mend. A friend of ours had a stroke, only in her early thirties, but has made a full recovery, and you would never know now, so hope you continue to prgress well! Mike.

It's none of us on here, honest!

And when your 'bobby with a brain' is in court charged with murder or manslaughter, because the scrote went under the wheels of a truck... Or veered onto the footpath and killed a child? What then? Mike.

What about one of these - fully pressurised and easy to change to fresh water every day? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rhyas-20-Litre-20L-Garden-Backpack-Pressure-Sprayer-Knapsack-Weed-Chemical-/391780096514?epid=513019905&hash=item5b37e9da02:g:RQsAAOSwjqVZEy51 Mike.

But the trouble is, the Courts will never impose it.

Steve, A friend of mine, now sadly died, used http://www.clikpic.com He was an enthusiastic amateur photographer, and had thousands of photos on his pages. He had various albums, and blogs of where he had been visiting each month. Easy to navigate, but I've no idea of the set-up costs sorry. Mike.

Small claims doesn't always work. I had a customer refusing to pay some years ago, took him to small claims, won, he didn't pay, but went bankrupt instead. So I ended up worse off than if I hadn't claimed. Mike.

Don't sling your oblong one, it will do for the new owner to put on a trailer or caravan. Mike.

This is the whole point! Individual deaths attract no attention. Numerous houses burn down every year. People murdered by intruders in their homes are a 15 minute story. Thousands die on the roads every year. An individual, or even group, of fishermen/women drown. Nothing... No fund-raising event, no public outcry. But a terrorist attack, a ferry capsizing, a plane crashing, and it's the number of people affected in one incident that sparks the reaction. The effect on the individual's families is just as great, but they have to manage on their own. I'm not wanting to come over as heartless, the fire is an absolute tragedy; but if it had been that many individual homes burned down over the course of a year, we would not have heard about it.

What? Mike

Just seen this Mel, so sorry for your loss. Mike.

Was it 40psi on the tyre-fitter's gauge, or on your own at home? His will be calibrated, yours may not... If yours should be inaccurate you wouldn't want to go dangerously low pressure either. Mike.

Great idea Steve! What about a few fluffy yellow Easter chicks? Mike.

I have the Screwfix one, it's surprisingly sturdy when set up. Mike.

When I had a Slll I wrote to DVLA to find out the full history. Small fee, can't remember how much, and I got copies of all previous documentation. You can also register with Cazana - https://cazana.com/uk takes a couple of minutes, if you have the original Jersey reg, and it will give you the history of when it was registered, when it changed hands, and all MOT advisories passes and fails. (If it works for Jersey registrations...). Mike.

Or a photo. Mike.

That's a cracking price, you would pay almost that for the three bare frames to upholster from scratch! Mike.

Cheers Figgy, I thought that might be the case, but just wondered if there was something non toxic that would coat the inside. I think it will start a new life as a decorative container for reeds and bulrushes. But how on earth did you know there is a local pottery group? Mike.

Stayed here some years ago, was very good then and still gets high scores. https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1RNAP_enGB506GB601&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=kennack+sands+holiday+park Mike.

So, our trusty Rumpot has become porous. We discovered this when we took it down from the top of the fridge/freezer, where it had been steeping quince in vodka for some months, to find it had glued itself to the top of the fridge, and the outside had the appearance of measles, with little dark, sticky spots all over it. Now given that it is fully glazed, inside and outside, with no sign of crazing anywhere, it's a bit of a puzzle... Any (sensible) suggestions as to how to re-seal it? Or is it just an ornament now. No idea how old it is, can't remember not having it. Thanks, Mike. Edit - We have washed it out several times, but leaving it standing with hot water in it results in a never-ending bleed of the measles spots. m

Looking good Lee, nearly there! But please DO make sure that you have it well secured, Land-Rover thefts are on the up and up, and anyone who knows Leeds can tell where you live from your posts... Mike.

Have a look at some stuff called Buzzweld for coating your panels. It gets great reviews on the Land-Rover forum that I'm on, and the proprietor, Craig is very helpful.

I bought the Lidl one, to deal with a monkey puzzle that was slowly spreading its lower, mainly dead or dying, branches across the drive and lawn. Very impressed with it. Battery gives about 30 minutes of work (not solid cutting), which was quite long enough at a time for me with my arthritic shoulder. Re-charge time is quite good too. Mike.
