I'm with you there John, I moved into my place around 10 months ago now and the letters they've been sending are shocking. I've had dozens of them, starting with things like "We've noticed that someone has moved in and there's no licence on record for this address. We may come get you if you...

How you get on with this @ProDave? I've always used impact sockets the same size as the relevant bearing race to drift bearings in or out meself, seems to work

Actually, Ive had a similar situation. I know I'm a monkee but am remarkably flea free ( contrary to Canoeboy's protestations) however cat fleas love the taste of my ankles, and I know by the time Ive done for the day if there were cat fleas in a property, and itch like mad for days afterward...

My RJ45 crimp tool has had its day, it was ok once but no more, need to buy another. Anyone able to recommend a decent one that isn't gonna break the bank?

I have an iZettle for the band merchandise, cost us the princely sum of £29, uses my phone as a connection and has worked flawlessly so far. Transaction fees of 1.75% for the payment, which you could easily 'lose' in a bill ( think that may be illegal tho) we don't bother tbh just see it as a...

Can concur with the Multitool diagnosis, I bought one years ago for £30,  couple years later they had them on offer again, so I bought another for when the first one lets the smoke out.....its still in its box in my shed.  Unbelievable value for money

Ha! Did a whole season on two sets ;)

How about a situation where the new CU location is longer than 3m away, and that intervening space will be boxed in, so that the new fused switch wont be accessable? If you move the new fused switch to next to the meter, or next to the CU you still end up with tails longer than 3m. Is there a...

Ive also done it, and I'm a  monkee. Wasn't to difficult at all for someone with a basic mechanical knowledge, but did mean stripping a fair bit of the machine down. Took plenty of pics on the way and Robert was my fathers cross dressing uncle. Machine ran fine for almost a moth and then the...

For the metal bands style tie wraps, more often used these days to keep lamp-post front panels on ;)

Gloy Gum was still around when I was at school. We also had large squeezy bottles of what I now know was PVA, which was fascinating to spread over your fingers and then peel off.  Ah, halcyon days, halcyon days

But what was it called?

@Evans Electric Deke! Bayco....was that the stuff where you had lots of thin little metal rods that you inserted into a baseboard so they stood upright, and then slid small 'tiles' between them to make model buildings? I vaguely remember seeing some at an uncles house as a small child, never...

Climbing trees.

I bought one @roys and then upon arriving home with it in the back of my van saw that the guy that @Onoff mentioned was selling lots for a few quid less......always the way innit Ill take a look at those Deke, thanks I do, and a vice like grip, honed from many years of......ahem.

Hi guys, just got back from picking one up. Just got to get some stocks and dies and a pot of cutting compound and I done. Thanks for the help guys :)

Hey no worries Deke many thanks for trying mate :)

Many thanks guys, I'm in South Devon. Couldn't get much further away lol Me ma still lives in Bedworth though Deke, so if your mate wants to part with his, Ill pick it up and go see her at the same time
