      Ebay International Shipping a rip off, normal postage here to France a fraction of this plus it's quicker.

  6. When I ever I feel a bit glum, I just go on Hattons website - pre-owned section, that cheers me with a few of their joke prices they are asking for 2nd hand "yes second hand" stock ;-)

      Bring it on, I was poll clerk at a quiet polling station and read a couple of good books, sorted out my modelling box and watched red Kites circling around. And got paid!

      I feel it's a sad state of affairs that over the years people have fought and died for the vote ...... and many of our MPs don't deserve their pay packets nevermind the right to represent us in Parliment

      I voted in the remain/leave poll. my local MP campaigned the opposite way and I feel has forfeited my vote.

      There is a NOTA option, simply spoil your paper or don't bother voting at all. That'll probably cover the largest % - which probably explains why we usually end up with corrupt pocket fillers in charge...

  11. is putting together the most shambolic pair of baseboard kits bought off a guy who trades on ebay, they are just about good enough for the fire ...... :-#

      Is this related to a recent thread about what to pay for baseboards...?

    3. muddys-blues

      muddys-blues

      No horse, just I have a pair of substandard baseboards, the seller should be ashamed of the way they have been cut and not sent them out

      Millions of online consumer "reviews" don't pull any punches. What on earth is wrong with saying "I just bought something substandard from <insert company name here>? Better that than risk anyone else wasting their money.

      You may need to know if the drivers allow for dimable. Talk about boring this is one of the things I need to know when buying a apartment blocks worth!

    3. muddys-blues

      muddys-blues

      Doug they are dimable and cost £3 each bulb, I have to say they are the best out of the multitude of LED GU10 bulbs I have had over the years, hope this helps
