A quote from the Telegraph a few weeks ago regarding Public Sector Pensions “The result is that over the past 50 years or so a huge government debt has been built up in the form of all these pension promises- a debt which is now so colossal, at about £2.6 trillion, that it is actually slightly larger than the official national debt “ It’s the elephant in the room that no party dare mention.

Border Force, part of the Home Office?

There was also a TV programme that discovered that significant amounts of the wood used in the pellets was ancient Canadian woodland rather than waste wood. The biomass power generation sector seems to be a huge con with fossil fuels being used in production and transport and then conveniently ignored

Looks good. Significantly cheaper than the Grenadier as well.

Yes, that’s true, but Labour went nuts with PFI. The hospitals were also very badly built. Our local one had a wishing well for years from the leaking roof.

The great PFI heist: The real story of how Britain's economy has been left high and dry by a doomed economic philosophy PFI debt for the British taxpayer is more than £300bn for infrastructure projects, with a value of £54.7bn. To put it into perspective, the PFI debt is four times the size of the budget deficit used to justify austerity (From the Independent, Bliar and Brown’s legacy) Labour worked out how to make themselves look good and leave the debt for others to sort out

I’ve heard that they don’t like to cross a barrier of copper tape. No experience of this myself though.

The wax in a pot in the Autoglym range is High Definition Wax. It’s harder to apply than the liquid ones though.

You say the radio said “phone “ on it. I’ve had a transit flatten both batteries down to zero volts overnight and suspected that it hadn’t disconnected from my phone properly. It did it twice and I noticed another time that the radio had stayed on even when the van was locked. The radio was still searching for a phone. I don’t let my phone connect to it anymore and it hasn’t done it again. VWs may be completely different though.

As above, he seems a very strange character. Like Gordon, I also started watching when I heard about the alleged vendetta against him. I gave up when he posted a rant against deer stalking even though it was obvious that he didn’t have a clue what he was talking about. I’m not a Jeremy Vine fan, but there’s an interview with him about AB on tonight’s Newsnight, BBC2 10:30.

Thanks Activeviii for the update and Dave-G. TR1, I didn’t get a quote for a solid roof, but a guesstimate when I asked for a quote for an all glass one was an extra £6-7k for an insulated roof. That was for a 5x3m lean-to type.

Thanks Dave 👍
