  1. Right.. excitement coming up!! 1. A fellow member of the pinkfishmedia site ( D.I.Y. Section) has already posted some shrink sleeving to me. @letsavagoo Will wait to see what arrives and whether I need to take up your kind offer. 2. I've just made a three egg and cheddar cheese omellette, using a touch of olive oil and a little butter. It was nice. 3. I've just exchanged heated words with 'Er Indoors'.. It seems that I NEVER wipe work surfaces.. and ALWAYS leave the lights on. Such certainty and statistical conviction is impressive, especially coming fr

  2. My dad worked at Marshall’s for most of his life. He was a lorry driver then warehouse manager or something. He had a land rover and Trevor Marshall used to borrow it at weekends to go shooting with and my dad got to borrow their jag. I remember the days out to Drayton manor etc and Christmas parties in the social club under the archers of the railway bridge. I have pictures of me with Santa who I think was one of the Marshall brothers. Me and my brother often got driven round the site and played in the leen. My dad was gutted when it closed. He took retirement but it didn’t suit him so he got

  3. You can't go back even if you wanted to. When I first returned to Nottingham for a holiday in 1974. My old sec mod school hand been turned into an infants school. The big railway yard in Netherfield had closed and was a heap of rubble. Now Morrison's shopping centre. The Vic station had been replaced by the Victoria Centre. To name only three there was lots more. When we went again in 1997 We sat in the McDonald's in Netherfield looking out at the shopping centre. The late Mrs. L remarked that we could have been in Canada, it looked pretty similar. The old allotme

  5. I drink in The Loxley opposite 2 or 3 times week, it's worth getting a window seat & watch the floor show across the road, sure most of the customers drink outside the pub with fag/vape in hand, but it keeps em out the other pub in town & we know where they are

  10. Nonna, we’ve been thinking about you over there. I googled Codogno which (according to the news) is the town at the centre of your Coronavirus scare and was I pleased to see it’s around 150km from you but still a bit too close for comfort. Don’t let anyone breathe on you and get plenty of vitamin C down you and you’ll be fine, hopefully!

  12. All sounds reasonable Col. The 63amp switch is the isolator. It is not the load rating of the consumer unit nor is it a fuse size, it is the current the switch can safely disconnect. I think if you look closer the breakers will have a rating and probably be type B. A lighting mcb will be labelled B6. This tells you it is a type B breaker rated at 6 amps, there will also be a voltage rating. If you have lost track or need to know for whatever reason again look closer, the electrician should have labelled each circuit in the unit and on the test certificate.
