    LIneker may be Leicester born and bred (as were Walker's crisps) and indeed my friend of fifty years lived across the road on the same street as Mr LIneker when we were all kids but Lineker's adverts long ago became tired and Walker's long ago became part of the international combine that in France is Lay's crisps. Time for change. But Beckham? Lord save us!

    Tired yes but funny in there time, saw the new one with Beckham last night, disaster.

    Bog standard terrestrial.

    Our local Tv station is far from bog standard, if you make the mistake of clicking on it the volume is mind blowing, can't say the same for the programs though.

    looks like good gear, when I shut down I tried to sell similar plus a festoon for half the price, finally gave up and skipped it, tight beggars round here.

    Best of luck with the sale.

  7. The King Is Diagnosed With Cancer ?

    It's 11 years since I was treated for prostate cancer, after the operation I had radio therapy and am now on long term medication, life has not been great but at the end of the day I reckon I'm lucky to still have one.

    Best of luck to the King and everyone else who has this condition.

    My mate died from stomach cancer two weeks ago.

    In many ways he was a victim of the covid pandemic although he didn't get covid.

    If his pain and symptoms had been investigated properly and not just knocked back as indigestion maybe things might have been different  ?

    His GP wouldn't see him and all he got was a phone consultation each time 

    How many more like him are there?

    My sincere condolences to you and your mates family and I totally agree with your condemnation of the current state of the NHS.  My diagnosis was well before Covid but had it not been for my better half who would badger me if I sneezed twice into seeing the doctor and a doctor at the time who was superb and could read between the lines, I wouldn't be here today.  Life is not a bed of roses at present but it's still life and getting to see a doctor is difficult but I can count on her to kick the door down when the need arises and if not there has quite a few times where I've been carried into A&E by friends and family.

    The NHS and I were born the same year, so they have looked after me from day one, broken arms, fractured leg and now cancer, for all the faults that have been mentioned I cannot thank the NHS enough for everything they have done for me.

    Best of luck to everyone on this post.

    The reverse of a picture on my workshop wall

    Country Life 2nd July 1953

    Did you have one?

    I have one just like it buried amongst old tools "somewhere"

    Dad and I bought two B&D D720 drills for £8 each in I think the middle to late 60's, I eventually bought several attachments, sander, circular saw and hedge trimmer, can't remember when the switch packed in but the drill has been in the shed for at least 25 years.  I've managed to find both parts, gave them a clean and freed the chuck, now all I need to do is get a new switch, I hope.  Can't upload the picture as the file is too big.

    Teal will be your man, although i know he is very busy with some other stuff at the moment so may not respond straight away.

    I have looked at the stuff i have access to and cannot see anything that is out of place, have you tried logging in with another browser, or clearing your cookies?

    Password number 8 now, cookies are cleared after every visit but as I said It's not a problem, just annoying but thanks for the reply.
