    If it means we can all resume our daily lives without having to wear masks and squirt sanitiser  like it’s going out of fashion, socialise normally, get all businesses operating normally without the threat of more lockdowns, then I’ll be getting it as soon as the opportunity arises. 
    Great news as far as I’m concerned. 👍

    Then make it illegal and cut out the ambiguity. You might think it is unacceptable, Chief Muppet might think it unacceptable but myself and many others don’t. And the problem when you have people in authority giving their opinions it creeps through society and no doubt you will have coppers in Suffolk now trying to fine people when they haven’t broken the law. 
     

    out of interest what do you think is acceptable? 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour? 
     

    And why not two hours? What is the increased risk of spreading Covid if I travel for two hours rather than 30 minutes assuming my behaviour is the same?

    “You know, with the First Lady, the government gets an employee free,” former US President Ronald Reagan said a 1982 interview, according to Metro.co.uk. “They have her just about as busy as they have me.” And often, First Ladies give up prestigious, high-paying jobs to move into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Hillary Clinton, for example, was a partner at Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, and Michelle Obama was earning $273,618 per year as an executive at the University of Chicago Hospitals.

    Luckily, the First Lady position does come with a few perks, as Money pointed out — lifelong pension, free accommodations, free travel around the world, and a personal security detail. And the only job requirement is a marriage to a US President.

    That said, current President Donald Trump isn’t making money off his White House gig either. Yes, the job of Commander in Chief comes with a $400k salary (and a $50k expense account), but Trump vowed not to take a salary during his presidency. (It’s probably less about solidarity with Melania than it is about the optics of a billionaire taking a taxpayer-funded salary.) As we previously reported, the President donated his first-quarter salary to the National Park Service, his second-quarter salary to the Department of Education, his third-quarter salary to the Department of Health and Human Services, and his fourth-quarter salary to the Department of Transportation.

    But we shouldn’t assume Melania’s not getting money elsewhere. According to a recent lawsuit, she expected to develop “multi-million dollar business relationships” connected to her White House role. “The Trumps are using the White House like the Kardashians used reality TV, to build and vastly expand their overall business enterprises,” Norman Eisen, President Barack Obama’s former chief ethics counselor, told the Associated Press.

    Looking for a recommendation for a varnish remover for a shotgun stock.

    I used Nitromors years ago but most reviews now seem to suggest it has changed in quality for the worse.

     

    I found the Niel ?? (own brand ) from B&Q was better than most. I need to strip some varnish from inside my boat, this was about £25 for 5lts. Its a milky product unlike conventional nitromores & really doesnt need to be "wrapped" to keep it working. I was quite impressed with it

    Chips can be removed very easily. With emla cream if you care about hurting, without if you don't. 😥

    Also people move house or change phone numbers and forget to inform chip company. Or a dog gets sold and the new owners don't change the details with the chip company.

    Thank you

    Unless you use polyurethane expanding glue. 20 mins and declamp. It’s amazing stuff and controllable in a silicon style tube 👍😎

    Sorry not suitable, **** to use/clean-up & will probably leave a yellow glue line

    Similar to this stool .

    Leg snapped just below cross brace so would that powdered glue do it ?

    Yes & stronger than the wood

    mix to a thick creamy consistency & cramp lightly, wipe excess off with a damp cloth
