That's it, I am NEVER going to Australia, deadly snakes are one thing, but hitching a lift & cuddling / nibbling you are too much

HR will most probably do it remotely.

Thanks all so far, tempted by the Screwfix item, sulphuric acid good idea, we rejuvinated the car batteries when I worked in the lab, but best to point out the dangers to those not used to it. Can't easily dismantle as the pipework runs under the floor. I have gone past the plunger vacuum method as dad appears to have been washing food off plates down the sink for a couple of years now without me twigging what he was doing, my excuse I didn't want to crowd him & he only announced the problem when the sink stopped emptying - bless him.

Good afternoon All Can anyone recommend a drain cleaner that works. The pipes are plastic. My elderly father has gummed up his kitchen sink drain by putting a lot of food scraps down the drain rather than in the waste bucket. I have dismantled & cleaned out the U bend & the pipe from the sink to the U bend. I can't reach the rest of the pipe, but know that it is almost totally blocked with muck. Also run lots of hot water down the sink, used plungers & supermarket drain cleaners. Many thanks, all ideas considered. Duncan

A word of warning regarding foam for storage. Some of the foam can crumble to dust & stick to the stock, guess how I know. I don't know exactly what type of foam it was, fairly soft thin sheets. It was also quite old, having been recycled from scientific glassware boxes. The boxes were kept in a dark cupboard, do UV / sunlight was not an issue. I would suggest the best foam might be harder ones & check regularly. Does anyone knows the properties of different foams ?

Interesting that none of the tanks on the train seemed to have diagonal lashings on them, I thought that was the standard means to stop sideways movement ?

are they heat treated or euros ?

No no, far too many clothes for a Scottish lass in the snow - a wee vest & no hat

that has put me right off veg !

Hope they don't all rush at once when the canal reopens, argy bargy could be messy

I believe it was standard practice at Leuchars & probably at other quick response interceptor sites. Site at west end of runway facing east in the cockpit, ready for a hurle.

Should be solved now that the drivers are supposed to be employees - employer prosecuted

Be very careful, it will have already worked out that you are planning to replace it (for your own safety), and will be waiting for its own moment to act

I had a Metro then a VW Polo, wish I had kept the Metro, far better car to drive, better brakes, better road holding & didn't rust as badly or as fast.

click & collect ?

The look like Thomson T-lines, built in Falkirk

With what looks like a Caledonian Railway route indicator on the wiper spindle ! (main line via Motherwell - ie Glasgow to Carlisle)

a cat ?

Or a few very public prosecutions for failing to stop

Friend of mine was in the Headquarter's Section (boss's section ?) & they drove what they described as supped up versions - 50 was very conservative. The one thing they were apparently not allowed to do was turn the turret on the motorway to disuade tailgaiters. Not that anyone in their right minds would do so, as a scorpion's stopping distance is a lot less than a car's.

Definitely Ryanair's first plane ! Before they worked out the economics

Have the cd, well worth the purchase.

I agree Mark. A simple contrast to professional team game sport is interesting. Exaggerating slightly, these teams can form a bubble (no one seems to consider their shopping or socialising or their families doing that) & can go abroad & back with no problems such as quarantining. Unless of course they catch covid & hit the news. Mariners who are quarantining for weeks seem to be very risky people .

Only it's mother would have called it pretty !
