My grandparents had one of those in the kitchen, the only source of hot water other than the range. There were plenty still in student houses in the 80s and early 90s, by which time they had a reputation for never being serviced and gassing the residents. But they were seriously good at heating water, half a dozen buckets full and the monthly bath was sorted...

Here's another one with a much more optimistic price tag and six watchers. Perhaps because it's about the price of a powered model? I seriously hope they've read the description! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204764189017?

I suspect that eBay is using some kind of photo recognition programme that's spotted that the majority of things I buy are hanging red rusty!

Indeed they were, but such wild inaccuracies don't concern the "pro weathered" eBay sellers!

That's the good ol' small print of anything connected with internet provision, it's never X amount of capacity, always up to X amount of capacity. I often miss emails, or they come through in batches. Last Thursday I got the same text message thirteen times, but more than an hour after it had been sent. As Miss R has said numerous times when in Eeyore mode over technology "The world has ended and we all died a couple of years ago, only we weren't copied in on the email..."

Looks like someone has been looting the SS Thistlegorm... For some reason it appeared on my eBay page too, so I double checked here before posting it!

Tequila, Mexican food.... Yummy. But not guacamole, guacamole can go and... It's made with avocados and avocados are the food of the devil. Better to eat a damp newspaper from 1965 you found in the cellar. Same flavour. PS, The 48xxs' look great, heavily reworked Airfix version I presume?

That's how you tell the scammers from the genuine mistakes, the genuine folk are always polite and say thanks.

Worse still, like a Dalmatian! See above, but there is a French bulldog across the road (one of those strange little things that look permanently surprised.) that has delusions of being a mastiff, or possibly Anubis / Cerberus / Bargeist. You get the idea. But it is terrified of motorbikes, so definitely not The hound of the Bonnevilles...🙄

I think that his daily five mile walk will burn it off, it certainly isn't the worst thing he's eaten and besides, he has the constitution of a large dog....😁

Six feet of pipe, tighten up until it squeaks and then another half turn...

The answer to this problem is called a motorcycle...

They'd need an impressive spanner at full size!

Always organic, free range (very) and served poached... That is posh nosh to us, we actually had fish and chips for two tonight, only a tiny handful of change from £20! But being health conscious, Miss Riding Hood gave most of her chips to my mate's dog...
