Did you know? (and not a lot of people know this) that Stirling Moss's dad wouldn't let him drive a car around the estate until he could do it in reverse. Fun factoid, I am full of it them tonight!!🤣🤣🤣

Fink I'd better get changed and go "doon the toon" to buy some "Caillés". Producers' market on tonight but I don't fancy it on my own, although I may change my mind and stay depending on who I see there. Anyway we/I have large amounts of...

And when thay do it's like pot holes always a bodg lots of the main supply pipelines are constructed from asbestos (post war ) when disturbed thay leak every where these are the reasons for not fixing leaks as the jobs just snowball

I'm on about the bigger leaks, the ones that aren't economical to fix

That would work!!! Italian Tank and all that!!!

very good for the environment no life with out water sit and observe, wild life increases 10 fold ,most planning laws now are very limited, you can extend your home without planning consent! !

Public out cry will help. But water companies have know fer years how difficult it is to get planning permission to pass. Hence why their desire to build a new res, wurnt apempted. Its quite damaging to the environment assit wipes it all out when...

That suggests they dunt fix any. They is always fixing them. Finding them is the difficult bit. Easy on the surface if water appears and someone reports it. More difficult if the leak stays under ground.

Which backs up wot eye said. Thicket was being finked about for a decade before the planning application was submitted.

I never understood the clamp fit on a rotation thing. taper and keyed, or at least keyed. I guess its a cost thing designed by young engingeers. But that leaves us poor souls popping our eyes out (or worse) to do things up tight, then another...

She's only flown over for a consultation which takes place tomoz. Then she'll be back early the follwoing morning. The op isn't until the 29th. Hope the flight will be bettern her one out. Her plane was massively delayed due to the original one...

Brace yourself. But then I guess as W is away, being prodded you have a lot of internet time available in the evenings :). Hope all goes well with W by the way whens she due back? J

Maybe a bit of bushing and then making a key for it??? Would call for more precision than I could manage with the tools I have, in either country. Is it a Bird, is it a Plane?? No it is Superbodger!!!!!! (Who uses spots of weld to secure the...

Oh no, much better leave it up, I love it when Kev gets going!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

All good and MOTed the tester said its a pleasure to work on such a well built car , he commented that he failed 2 FLs last week due to rust and bits falling of I nearly choked for laughter 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 Solved the problem, drive in reverse all the...

I understand threads on Knock on stub axles, and other applications. You missed the whole point of my quote about "wheels going in opposite directions" :D you better edit that quick before Kev gets hold of it:oops:. J

From the Morris Minor Owners' club. For exactly the same reason, but they didn't usually run with knock-ons!! I see what you are getting at, yes the inertia of the loose pulley could inadvertently work against everything.

Mornin Sunny but cooler than of late 🙂 Off for lunch with Brother and sister After sorting car insurance for the Yeti that is :confused: Get it through the winter then give it away I think :D Enjoy the cooler weather all 🙂

Wheels go in oposite directions as you go down the road🤔🤔🤔. Yep conclusion edit incoming:D I had a little think about this with my little bit of Newtons elbow thought I have left. The pulley not being keyed could be the key reason (see what i...

+1 mate.:)

Accoding to t'news, they are about to open a new one somewhere, or start building it, or summat. Need to research it a bit more. We are lucky in that Bournemouth Water (as was, now bought up) keeps finding new ways to store water so we don't...

Hope the day goes off with no issue. Sad day. Keep calm Dan :). J

It depends on which way you are looking at the pulley when you describe its turning direction. Looking face on to the pulley and the nut, you want the nut turning in the opposite direction to the pulley as you are looking at it to ensure it...

Maybe they should fix some of the leaks then

Morning All. :D The great day is here. Off to the Crem at 3pm and the ensuing wake till c. 9pm. :) I have promised there will be no fights (well not from me anyway). Have a great day. :D
