Yep that's all very true.

Thanks to everyones input. As far as I see it this is a problem looking for a solution. You could be an older person. A female. A young person or me. Modern cars have BIG wheels . The days of 165x13 are gone. Saying that both myself and the Mrs have only had 2 punctures in 35 years. BUT IN THE DAUGHTERS CASE. She is a nurse that travels on the road and if it can happen it possibly will at some stage. I think the the resolution to this problem for her is one of the motoring agencies like the AA or RAC.

Well thanks for the replies. The tyres on the vehicle are brand new and she will be just on std black roads and getting a flat isn't an everyday occurrence but if it can happen ,,,, at some stage it will happen. She lives down near Folkstone and a lot of her travel is up the motorway to Ashford on the motorway so the possibility of asking someone is smaĺ because people don't stop to help on otorways or most places. Nòwadays people don't want to get involved. sometimes Her husband would be available but a lot of the time he is all over the country. I did YouTube this a one bloke had the idea of rolling big 4x4 wheels up a shovel handle. Our new Honda didn't come with a Jack or a spare wheel it just had a compressor and a pot of gloop.! If that didn't work then it was call out a tyre firm or recovery. A problem to be resolved before it strikes.

One of the daughters has been issued with a Daihatsu Terios. The spare wheel carrier is mounted on the back door. OK When she gets a puncture it's not beyond her abilities to get the spare off of the carrier with care, but there is no way that she has the physical strength to (A) lift / man handle a wheel of that size and weight up onto the door carrier AND (B) TO lift the wheel up into the rear boot area. WHICH may be filled with shopping, kids stuff, pushchair etc. Anyone got any bright ideas about handling spare wheels which will be dirty and probably wet.

At primary school the boys toilet was outside. There was a wall with gutter, the wall had been blackjacked. All the boys used to have a competition as to who could wee the highest up the wall. over the wall was the caretakers garden and one day when the boys were practicing they heard the caretakers wife call out to the caretaker..... Bert I think that its started to rain. ..😊😊😊😨😨😨

It's strange how the natural event is buckled in this country since queen Victoria's times. We all used to laugh/ be shocked about public street toilets in France. I know of a Brand new public build in which there are 3 toilets which are just labeled toilet. Anyone can use them. Invalids, men, women. They're just toilets. Alternatively I did know of an industrial yard where there was a proper toilet BUT in the back of a shed there was a cranked funnel nailed to the back wall that all of the blokes used to pee into. Even high up executives use to use it when in the yard. It was just easier than going through the main building to use the proper toilet. The neck of the funnel just went out through the shed wall and dischsrged into a ditch out the back. The rushes and stinging nettles were about 8 ft tall.!!

South west Kent. Just bands of rain coming through all day. Foggy in Hastings this afternoon. Earlier in the day between bands of rain I saw and felt the SUN and for about a minute it was really hot. Don't despare people, the sun will return and some people will be heard moaning...... ohh it's too hot,,, i can't put up with it. AND fat ginger people will be lobster red and have to be hosed down so that they don't melt and catch fire. ROLL ON global warming.

South west Kent. Very thin dust this morning lasted about an hour. Rain most of day, heavy at times. Dry for hours now, cold. It's just been grey and miserable for a long time now. We need the sun.

What's it all matter. All they want to do is enjoy life and have fun. theyre no harm to anyone. That's all i wanted to do with the girls when I was at school. All we were told was that we would experience a sort of tickling feel in if we got near the girls. ???? 😆😆 😇😇😇. I told my mate that he might get this feeling if he tied his bits to the tow bar on the back of the woman PE teachers car. Boys do silly things. Recently I read that there had been a survey of kids under 11 as to if they had seen porn. I think that it was something like 60% had watched porn and most on a regular basis.

I'm surprised .. nay ... slightly disappointed that my post and I went harranged to a standstill. For being Reactionary and me being a miserable *** by the bar prospers brigade. BUT I'm not repentant. If I had the funds to buy the place I'd have no compunction at all the bulldozer would be in first thing Monday morning. I've known the pub for more than 40 odd years and its only ever had one decent couple, landlord/ landlady in all that time. Previous to the present owner the village do gooders created an association for people to attempt to purchase it to create a village hub, pub, post office. Initially it was thrown open to a general public where people could sort of pledge that they could allocate an amount of funds to purchase the place. subsequently a selected few of THE RIGHT SORT, were invited to private meetings to select a committee and steering group. When the place came up for auction they had about two Bob in comparisonto what it eventually went under the hammer for. A local woman that I know was a keen hound to get her wad out and get involved..... for the general public good. I managed to convince her tat it would be more effective to Chuck the wad on her fire to keep warm by rather than Chuck it in a bottomless pit that was the pub. I wonder how long it will last considering it might open for a couple of hours randomly now and then. Bizarre.

We used to have two pubs, down to one. It sort of went dormant due to the owner / lack of trade. A new couple have bought it and spent a fortune on it. Still not a lot of trade and they sort of open and close as they please. Sort of like a hobby. It's always been a dead end although it's location is good. As far as I'm concerned the sooner it's bulldozed and a few executive houses put up in its place the better. Over the years the place has been a pain in the rear. Or the behaviour of the customers and the General disruption. There are the bank holiday dos of the BBQs with clouds of billowing smoke and the dismal dreary folk singer. So bad that we've gone out for the day. There have been cars damaged and stolen by people who have viewed a car parked outside someone's house as a free taxi to get back home and abandoned somewhere. The General junk thrown in our garden as the throw outs go to where ever they are going, such as bottles, glasses, paper and plastic, knickers, condoms. Cars and bikes racing up and down the road one of which mounted the kerb and knocked the fence down and drove off. Parked cars being keyed and druggies breaking into cars for anything of value. Groups of users singing, swearing and just being unsocial as they go home. People spewing up or taking a leak on / over the garden fence / gate. Drug dealing etc. The sooner it capsizes and is bulldozed we will hold a BIG party. Hopefully the cost of living rise will last long enough to see the game up.

The bloke that I was apprenticed under was a young bloke (Tom) back in WW2 and back then petrol was dyed red and called pool petrol. You were issued coupons which were issued on the basis of distance getting to work. if you were found out on the road other than going to work you were heavily fined and might have the petrol allowance removed.! Meaning that you might have to either walk or cycle to work. (Tom) being a young lad mechanic wanted to go and watch the speed way down in Eastbourne which was off limits. He got around this by the ingenuity of having a second fuel tank for his BSA motorbike and a second Anal monoobloc carb rejetted to run on METHANOL. He skimmed the head to get a higher compression ratio. When he did the Change over, all that it took was two bolts on the seat, one bolt holding the fuel tank, disconnect the fuel line to the card, two bolts on the carb and unscrew the carb slide cap. And the reverse. Probably about 15 minutes works. Methanol was freely available and not PETROL, so ok. I don't know if my modern Honda would run on it or what the emissions would be. Or go over to LPG or go on an electric bike. The price of electric vehicles is VV high. Back to old days, walk, bike, horse and cart.?

Would that have fitted my Browning B325 G5.

When all of the hugging etc has died down the unionists aren't going to accept this supposed deal. On the face of it it is everything to all men BUT there are too manhandled and strings that are still involved with the EU. There is miles to many random rules that they will still control. If the EU want a goods control why has it never been thought of to establish controls inside of Eire. You don't have continental border controls in Dover for stuff coming here.

Where oh where is Rab C Nessbit going to get his booze and flag money if they do go Indy.? Didn't some places in Scotland have to be helped big time because the people didn't even have shoes. Can't be that bad can it.? A cranky woman friend of mine, ( not wee jimmy) has emigrated to right up the top of Scotland. God knows why. Ever since she has moved up there it has rained, had gails, had lots of snow. Lots of ice all in all its been a bad decision in my opinion. It's a shame because she's a good sort and a very good shot. Just a lunatic. Had A lovely place down here. I don't expect that she'll get back down here again due to house and land prices. A one way conveyor. Shame we had good days shooting. I feel sorry for her husband.

Sometimes... I don't know if is just random or on an item's value. You could be charged the vat on the item... but the sting in the tail is that you might get a letter from royal mail informing you that you owe them £X vat on the item... fair enough but they also charge £x for their surcharge to INFORM YOU that the vat is payable. I can't remember but I thought cheeky. Charging a fee to notify and then vat on that fee, +the original vat on the item. Ps I THINK that I POSSIBLY got charged £17 vat and £7 notification fee. AND I had to pay it BEFORE the item would be delivered.

You should go back and read The reply that you have posted. The posters don't seem to hope to be achieving anything. It is a commonly held opinion of basic. Basic state that they protect and promote all aspects of shooting but its all smoke and mirrors. signing up for BASC Live, the weekly e-newsletter, to keep up to date on BASC's work protecting and promoting shooting might be informative but does didly squat out in the field. it is just a catalogue of window dressing. Plod do as they please and make it up as they go along and Kwis must consult you as to what to do next . runs rings around you. As it stands shooting is really on the end of a line. Guns have virtually no second hand value. Dealers won't buy anything in and at a recent firearms auction there were about 5000 guns that had been sold and were all going for export. The whole mindset of the org is outmoded with reality. I feel that I have just wasted x minutes even reading this thread or replying. I've even considered deleting it. Just can't be bothered.

A snipe was my first 12. A bit of a cheapy, BUT I shot really well with it and still have memories of superb shots that I pulled off with it.

I've got a 28G, a 20g and a 12 that I have done that to. I don't make a habit of having spills but sometimes the machine or I get out of sync. The primer doesn't fall or I don't put a wad in or something and the whole lot goes Lulu. I have a hole in the front RH corner where the shot or powder can be herded to and then out into a collection pot. I use a thicker Artist paintbrush and it is easy to separate shot from powder. super machines WHEN you've got everything sorted and adjusted. Shot is just a pain all over the bench /floor and powder is too expensive to loose.

I have MECs mounted on board like that but have tile batten fixed around the edges to contain any dropped lead or powder spills. I got fed up hoovering up shot.

It's just another case of total incompetence by the police. The whole system is a shambles. On one hand you've got police officers committing abduction, rape and murder, to many jumping ship before they are pushed, to all sorts of serious misdemeanous from those that have come to light. Areas that are terrorised by crime and gangs and when the public ring up there is no action. I worked for a company that had an amount of expensive burglaries it they didn't even bother to come out. The company was given a crime number over the phone and told to get in touch with the Insurers. One time a single officer came about 3 days after the event. Had a wander throughout the workshop and asked if we'd checked that the doors were shut !?!? What else could we expect. It's not one force it's all of them. My thought from day one was a Reggie Perrin. Thought through for some time and all set up. Bank a/c, identity, the works and or a friend or new partner who is helping / providing for. She might not be all that far away. But how many disapear and no one really ever hears about them.

This is a part of gun sales. How many guns on here even get a comment. ? How many people on here advertise guns at silly inflated values.? Gunshops won't entertain buying in second hand guns and recently, ( in the last year) i bought a job lot of 2 x single barrel 12g shotguns at auction for £13. They were both in very good condition. There were I estimate in the region of 5 thousand weapons of all sorts all sold and bound for export. At that rate we'll be down to a toy cap pistol in a few years.

It's a long time ago that I was in a dealer's and was shown the gun so it was just a quick view of it, so I'm not certain of the details. Vague memory of it is that the police riot cartridges were a sort of 2 size stepped body brass cartridge with a partial crimped tapered closure. There was a sort of circular trench around the primer pocket area so the primer area looked like a sand castle. In the face there was a standing post that fitted into the trench. This post stopped the action closing with ordinary flat base shotgun cartridges along with the reduction of the chamber size. I think that the shot size was #4 but I might be imagining all of this.

I saw one once where the guns had a special base that only allowed a special cartridge to be chambered. The guns were only issued to the prision wanders with a couple of these special cartridges so that if the gun was captured by rioting prisioners the prisioners would only have access to on or two cartridges because ordinary 12 gauge cartridges wouldn't fire. I can't remember what the base of the cartridges was like but I think that there was a ring or pin that had to be aligned so that the breech would close.

Does this use ordinary 12 cartridges or does it shoot the special riot cartridge.
