Once you have the "Upside-Down & Wrong-way-round" sorted out in your head a simple box with positioning rails is all you need. Keep your "wrong" scraps to use as marking-out tools.
To get any angle right (even if the walls aren't square to each other. just pencil the lines of the 2 scrap pieces on the ceiling, where they cross over is your exact "cut-to" point.
Offer up your actual pieces and mark off as per your ceiling mark. Cut, butter with adhesive, apply!

You make it sound so easy
I'm using a chop saw to cut the angles, have to cut them upside down I found or they don't fit together,
These are different sizes tall and wide as well so another thing to remember
Two more cuts to do and only just enough coving to finish so took a break so I don't mess it up
New girlfriend coming round tonight so might attend to her and leave the coving

Just back from a tip-run with a load of rubble. Rools have changed since my last load more than a year ago, we are now limited to the equivalent of two 50 litre bags full. Which is a lot less than I can get in me tratter. And one load per week.

And they wonder why some idiots fly tip…
No, I’m not excusing them, but these sort of rules just encourage it further

There you go Dan! A pint of beer and he is anybody's Grandkids entertainer! You can enjoy the show while he enjoys your missus's company!

(Ooops, I think there might be a flaw in all this "blue sky" thinking!!!)

Freddie17 said:

Eh?
Betteshanger is near the town of Deal, in Kent - where I will get a pint if I go along to watch the event.
I shoot not far from there.

Chap was off this boat... Yup it was a body they recovered.
called the spirit of fortitude. I seen it coming in last night it came in so fast I thought it was going to run aground
Then it stopped & reversed & moored up. Not sure if there was a problem on board they were heading into shallow waters
or its an accident.

• Carte Mer - daytime coastal sailing, 6 to 50 HP;
• Permis Mer Côtier - nighttime sailing, further offshore, over 50 HP;
• Permis Mer Hauturier - high seas, all forms of boating.

That looks like a very expensive boat to be going tear-assing around in.
Did anyone on board have the faintest idea of what they were doing?
I know the Frogs love to overload everything with paperwork, but you cannot simply buy a boat and sail it away from the coast without certification over here. A right pain but I think maybe a good idea for some eejuts!
This is just some of it:
In French waters, a boat licence is necessary to be able to operate a boat when the power of the motor or motors exceeds 4.5 kilowatts or 6 horsepower. There are three different licences:

• Carte Mer - daytime coastal sailing, 6 to 50 HP;
• Permis Mer Côtier - nighttime sailing, further offshore, over 50 HP;
• Permis Mer Hauturier - high seas, all forms of boating.

to the French the idea of being able to buy a Sunseeker and go mad with it anywhere is as mad as allowing anyone to buy an artic and just allow them to punt it up and down the roads of the the country without a licence.
