    That was embarrassing !!!

    It still is , although it has been diluted a bit .  It is/was the home to a lot of footballers , surgeons and the like. One of the few places I was ever bumped for payment. A builder (Glazing) thatwas goin bust but just kept it to himself and let us chip away . Jesmond is still affluent , but...

    To quote Commandant Lassard "there are many many " switches and limit stops on chair lifts . If you are not familier with them you are on a hiding to nowt.  Models vary as has been said.

    When I were a lad... and the winters were hard up here , and cars where nearly all  RWD  my old Dad used to fit the Town and Country tyres on the rears, it was the only way he could get to work .  They had a really chunky treads and did help , but winters were winters then. When all else...

    Idiots who can't drive!

    It amazes me that money can buy you the right to drive a high power car that can cause more havoc than a runnawy artic , then to ride a motorbike an experienced driver has to go through a series of tests before they are allowed to drive the 'fast stuff'. unless you have a side car on off course...

    Well  to be fair we test diesels and petrol vehicles and use the additives when some fail the emission test, most times it clears the crud and no further work is required . Certain supermarkets and 'not well known stations around here are notorious for dirty diesel to the extent of destroying...

    A1 Omicron 7000 PA/PIR removal

    Depends on your experience. It would not be ethical  to tell you how to do it on an open forum.  Maybe one of the members is near you and can help you out if you post your location.

    A1 Omicron 7000 PA/PIR removal

    I know lol,  They were a good old system in their day.  I used to fit the old membrane keypad ones . I know of one that is still working fine.  Changed the code a couple of times though , worn out or a dead give away. :)

    A1 Omicron 7000 PA/PIR removal

    As above , if the panel has power to it the bell box will have an independent power supply that will run for quite awhile after the tamper wire has been cut .  They are supposed to time out , but those older systems can run on for about forty minutes.  I would get someone to see to that or you...

    I'll say one thing for Hitler , he knew how to drum up a crowd.

    Dave Allen :)   . Lloyd George  JFK and Robert Kennedy, Marin luther King . I can think of many  that I think were better speakers than Hitler. Hitler had fear and poverty on his side. Churchill  was an artistocratic patriot and a great man .
