Morning all, bright out there ...
According to the local chatter, 70% of purchasers around here are London folk. You can't have an open day due to walrus restrictions.Which one has more local adverts. Once fings are ont web, there won't be much difference in the way they work. Only ever bought with one. Yer can't trust what they say so a promise is meaningless.
Anything will sell as long as it's clean and at or below market price. Works for cars and houses. A trick to sell quicker is to have an open day where they get lots of buyers to come round ont same day. Yer pay more for that. Or drop the price to attract more buyers.
What is the % and is it capped?
Do truck drivers still hit their tyres with a steel rod to check they are good?Morning
Suns out. Morning 10mins stroll around completed.now waiting for others to start.
looks like another nice day
You mean the one with a spike on the end?Do truck drivers still hit their tyres with a steel rod to check they are good?
Thats for 'checking' the noisy neighbour! My brother drove hgv in the late 70's and he would use a piece of steel tube to hit the tyres and listen for defects I hoped @Hicap phill had some stories to tellYou mean the one with a spike on the end?
I have the smallest hammer & tap my nuts dailyDo truck drivers still hit their tyres with a steel rod to check they are good?
it looked like a picture in the side. A close look shows blue material inside.
Can you say "Stitch-up" and Cartel pricing?It is down to who will get it sold quicker and be the easiest to work with. They both say they can achieve the same price and both charge the same percentage.... Good ain't it lol
That looks just the ticket! I am still waiting for the belt splice from lathes.co.uk that I ordered on the 28th of last month I have tried ringing but he has not answered yet. It says 'pending' on the web portal......... That I properly fitted a little carriage lock to the lathe yesterday. It involved buying a 5mm TC engineers bit to drill through the hardened casting of the carriage and putting an M5 dome/flange-headed bolt through it and a compression spring and the lock casting underneath. I am pleased to say it works a treat and facing cuts are perfect now. @My Old Landy

That's a poor show that is.That looks just the ticket! I am still waiting for the belt splice from lathes.co.uk that I ordered on the 28th of last month I have tried ringing but he has not answered yet. It says 'pending' on the web portal......
Not really, it is size 7 and that is in short supply, apparently!! I have just got off the phone and he assures me he will post it tomorrowThat's a poor show that is.
Is there no other "more responsive" supplier out there?
Best of luck with D Day.It's a bit too early for the sun but the mist is quite heavy at the moment. I expect it will turn out much as yesterday - and that was a lovely sunny and warm day.
It's D-day for the 'van so fingers crossed!
It's binman day today, too, and, thanks to one of my many' reminders', the recycling is down at the gate ready for an 8am collection. I had an email from the County yesterday telling me that they are introducing the 'sorted system' over the next two years and asking for feedback. Although it is a good idea I just wonder how they plan to get the new larger trucks along the country roads where overtaking for other traffic is just not possible. There is no way that I will be able to carry all the required filled boxes down to the gate - it looks as if a permanent shelter for the containers will be needed outside the gate so that I can just take it all down bit-by-bit and put it in the appropriate box.
Enjoy your day folks, but don't work too hard 'cos there's four full days to go before the weekend.
