Nice I really should have a welding trolly, I shall get one for a quid at the local co-op & chop it up.

There was something on R4 last week about this. Think they mentioned using the GOV website to book this closer. most were on about village halls or pharmacy.
Mine is an old fish tank stand, some off cuts of OSB and the wheels off an old roll cab toolboxNice I really should have a welding trolly, I shall get one for a quid at the local co-op & chop it up.
The Plasma cutter from Lidl is worth the money and is tiny.
Can they not give you an earlier appointment, I think that is a shocking time to give you.

an open appointment between 9am & 6pm so go an stand outside in the pi$$ing rain for god
knows how long & its the whole of the peninsula.

Id quite like a plasma cutter have you used it much.
I used it in the old workshop as I had a lot of steel shelving to cut up. I haven't used it here yet but once I get into restoring the Landy bulkhead and floor it will come in use
I've no idea. I've told them I can be available any day up until early afternoon, so the ball's in their court.
Sadly, being out in the sticks (and in Wales) things are not that simple. Everything has to be controlled so as to simplify ( ie. save money ) the procedure. In addition being right on the border between counties does not help when it comes changing the centre.
I am now of the mind that it is up to them to make things easier for us rapidly degenerating wrinkles if they want us to have it. A little more joined-up thinking on their part might just give them a clue that some of us have to travel miles to get even the simplest service.

Does it use much air just wondering if I can use a compressor to fill a tank & run off that.
Ive only had a go of one & that was over 10 years ago.
The whole of the penisula? Is that 8-10 of yers?
Yer but I have to stand & wait ffs they should have booked us 1 every hour then I wouldnt
have to see anyone.

Is that only white on1 side & toasted the other?
It does use a fair amount. I have a small 25 litre compressor and it lasts about three minutes. Enough for a straight cut in 2mm sheet about 400mm long.
only the finest English toast for me
Butter,jam or marmalade & dont say marmite lol
