      I found out a couple of weeks ago that a person of this parish who shall remain name less had been handwriting everything out of a particular discussion on here. Respect but he really does need to work out Ctrl+C,V and P.

      well after a shambolic stay I think I can say TL have gone wayyyy downhill. The stink of piss throughout the building, the facially damaged bed, the fire alarm going off and a drunk customer resetting it saying its ok I know how to reset these.. you don't need the fire brigade! and the shagging couple next door.. I certainly didn't sleep tight!!

      It's the lead in solder that allows it to work properly... lead free is quite brittle and doesn't like temp cycles... that's why lead solder can be used in militay and transport applications, but it's becoming a problem as it creeps into COTS. It also9 has a higher melt temp... so either your iron wont melt it or the higher temp might damage components. Go lead... SnPb.
