I naively used to think that it was the duty of the police to carry out the Parliament introduced legislation which has patently now changed. Some change too. There's a big leap between, "bobbies on bicycles two by two", to police in 4 X 4s four by four.

It would have to be Bristol. Stepson was moving and only had a smallish car so I drove up in my privately taxed (my one vehicle) Ranger only to find out that the staff were reflecting the council policy and would not allow me into the recycling centre. Fortunately, he was only moving down the road to Portishead where, unlike Bristol where they could not have been more unhelpful, the centre there could not have been any more welcoming to new residents.

It is a good question and deserves an answer. Surely, in any court case where a death has occurred and an autopsy has been deemed necessary, the result of that investigation should be detailed in the court as a matter of course. This would avoid the possibility of one side asking for it because it would possibly strengthen their case or the other side not wanting it for the opposite reason.

That's simply stating the obvious.

Spot on. Because of just one man I've left the highlighted word in. All you need to remember is simply that the more folk have the harder they'll fight to keep it. Because many people manage to get promoted one level above their ability what we're talking about is rife and getting worse and when they do kick off more often than not it's with less rules than in a knife fight. When I met her my wife suffered terribly every month with the obvious problems. She didn't seem too keen to get this sorted which I couldn't understand but eventually I got to the bottom of it (no pun intended). After several years I got her to go to her doctor who listened to what she had to say and said that he needed a few days to do some checks and would get in touch. In due course he made another appointment where he explained that she was never in the hospital where she had said she was. So she asked him to explain where did he think that she got the surgical scars on her tummy. She had been operated on, had 'died' during the process but brought back but then had to be taken back to the theatre as the surgeon had made yet another mistake. The doctor finally believed her but explained that there were no records what-so-ever of her being in that hospital. Consequently, an appointment was made for her at another hospital which was part of the association to which the first one belonged. After a couple of appointments the consultant explained that he knew what was what and that she'd need another operation. "Unfortunately", he said, "I'm changing jobs and your surgeon will be XXXXX". I wasn't there so can only assume that my wife reacted to this in such a manner that the doctor sat back in his chair for a few seconds before realising what was what - XXXXX was my wife's first surgeon. This is where the "one man" above comes in. He knew. "Would it help if I managed to come back and do your operation myself?" he asked. All was well. Fast forward some 10 years and we're watching the 9 0'clock news when my wife screamed which caught my attention. A certain surgeon had finally made one too many mistakes and had eventually been banned from operating. I'm surprised that the BT phone lines didn't melt as she called family, friends and other known 'victims' with the news.

@oldypigeonpopper Many thanks, yep, good fun. The restaurant's main target is the visitor but is also popular with the locals and describes itself as 'children welcome. They may wish to change the latter point today.

Wrong day for me - the house is just about to fill up with grandchildren before we all go out for a bit of a do - so I'll have to look later on.

I was watching it but just at the wrong moment we had a visitor so will have to wait until this evening. I think that I got the gist of it in as much as our local P&CC is of the opinion that the recently announced increase in firearms licensing fees are insufficient because Devon and Cornwall have the largest number of certificates issued. Eh?

When did an expert opinion translate into perjury should it be shown with further evidence that it was incorrect?

Unless it's part of a service or inspection where the cylinder will be refilled on completion of the work, there's good reason why you should never empty a cylinder which remains so for a while. With the outlet valve closed and the vent open you're good to go with regard to changing the gauge.

Agh! You have me there. I can only speak as an fluid power engineer on both aircraft and in the commercial sector albeit now well retired. If my cylinder gauge and PCP one did not agree within a reasonable amount, I'd want to know why.

With what frequency are your cylinder gauges and your PCP ones checked?

Yes, because it measures the bore and choke diameters enabling one to determine the degree of choke by subtracting the smaller figure from the larger. Unfortunately this means that one would either have to fork out several £100s to buy one or toddle off to your local friendly RFD in the hope that he's forked out for one and knows how to use it. Fortunately, there's always more than one way to skin a cat.

It remains handy to know the barrel diameter in the case of a fixed choke gun should one want to determine what choke is currently present.

Yep with up to 70mm (2&3/4") cartridges.
