    @myopic the sack of grain is a seperate answer but is sort of linked with the answer for the glove. The scroll isn’t a clue. The tree will provide a clue.

    My work colleague and I are both absolutely stumped for the last kids book.

    Yes. What are the wings attached to? Could somebody wear it?

    4 on the best sellers – I was convinced Guinness was the book of records, but can’t get any combination to work

    There is a spelling mistake in the answer.

    Still on 98 here. One left in the kids books.

    oh, I didn’t know that but there is no answer on it, I just assumed it was the book it is holding

    The hat with wings thing is a deerstalker and is linked with the pipe

    The face in the cave is also a famous 70s horror film

    Not an app as such but I’ve been using “Learn Spanish In Your Car” by Harry N. Raymond on Spotify. 5 to 8 minute sessions of listen and repeat are working well for me.

    The daily chats with the native Spanish speaker in our office are an added bonus.

    My brand new PS4 and copy of the game is at the Post Office waiting for me to collect. Shame I’m 100 miles away and not due home until tomorrow. Aaaaaargh.

    Also, red tactile paving at controlled crossings, buff tactiles at uncontrolled crossings to aid the partially sighted.

    i have nothing sensible to add other than trailwagger really is future-proofing with this suggestion

    If we say 15mph average over 30 minutes, that’s 12,000m – so an extra 600m is 0.05% performance improvement. Doesn’t sound as good though, does it!!!

    But if you do your sums right it sounds more impressive.

    Inform, educate, entertain – thought it pretty much covered all three.

    I was 20 and at Uni. On the back of a summer job I bought a 9 year old 1.6L Capri in Beige for £600. Thankfully no photos exist. Sold it for £600 12 months later when I left uni and got a MK1 Golf GTI. Talk about chalk and cheese.

    @P-Jay I think the Oettinger 16s was for the French market only. There was a mk2 16v Scirocco that wasn’t available in UK. Because it was based on the mk1 golf floorpan they got round the legality that way.

    As an aside, I used to have a mk1 golf gti fitted with a 1.8 16v. Great fun.

    I’ll second binners suggestion of Derry Girls, very good.

    And similarly, London Irish, by the same writer.

    Enjoyed that.

    Still got my Zorlac John Gibson from the late ’80s in my Mum and Dad’s garage. I think my wife would kill me if I suggested using it.

    As others have said, ring the HSE. Silicosis is one of their “hot topics” at the moment, certainly in the NW anyway.

    Either that was some good cutting and pasting or you had one hell of a boring afternoon!

    A deadly boring last half hour before leaving for the day. Current job finished, no enthusiasm for starting a new one until Monday.

    Fuel card I’m told.

    Check whether it is really worth it to you. You may be surprised by how many private miles you need to do to make it worth it.

    BIK value?

    We stayed at Dunstan Hill Camping and Caravanning Club site in April 2011. Assuming nothing has changed in 6 years then I could definitely recommend it. Clean, quiet and plenty of places for walking to the coast a couple of miles away.

    I’ve got one. Been using it since August. More than happy with it. Good quality, quick to locate GPS, easy to use and seems very accurate.

    I have never used any other GPS on a bike apart from on a mobile phone so have nothing to compare it to but would happily recommend it especially at the price on Sport Pursuit – I paid £100 from Evans.

    They are not the latest models if that bothers you. The bluetooth connection to phones for calls and texts notifications doesn’t work with every phone so check compatibility if that is something you need – I don’t so it doesn’t bother me.

    Series 600 Specification for Highway Works cl601 paragraph 13 for permitted constituents of recycled aggregates.

    The “other” materials referred to as Class X in that paragraph are defined in series 800 Table 8/3.

    Don’t get me wrong. That is an appalling job and it shouldn’t, in my opinion, be left like that without an appropriate topping. Unfortunately, the material used quite probably meets the requirements.

    Actually, reading that clause again 6f5 can contain up to 50% bituminous materials unless it is “recycled aggregates except recycled asphalt” in which case it is the 1% as stated earlier but with only 5% glass.

    I’m at work now so can check properly.

    There is all sorts of crap in that path that is not a permitted constituent of class 6F capping material. glass, plastic, rubber, metals, splintered wood.

    Recycled aggregates used as 6F5 can contain up to 1% of “other” materials, up to 1% of bituminous materials and up to 25% crushed glass.

    “Other” materials are classified as wood, plastics and metal.

    Obviously we have no way of knowing what the percentages are in the material used in that path but there is a fair few tonnes there so it is entirely possible that the plastic is within the limits.

    is done using the old Tarmac stripped from roads prior to a complete resurfacing job, which does make for a very good surface as it binds together very well.

    Round here they do indeed do this – using diesel poured on it to bind it. Much of the diesel ends up in watercourses.

    Planings are perfectly acceptable as a Type 4 subbase. The use of diesel sounds a little suspect and very bad practice as the diesel is a solvent and would degrade the bitumen content resulting in the exact opposite of what you suggest they are attempting to achieve. Road planings correctly compacted are self binding without the need for anything being added.

    Sometimes the operatives will coat their shovels and rakes in diesel to prevent the material sticking.

    I agree with wrightyson. That is a 6f5 material, demolition waste that has been through a crusher to produce a specific grading. It is the cheapest material that meets the SHW for 6f5 and despite best endeavours will always contain a small percentage of plastic such as the waste pipe and electrical fittings seen in photo 1.

    Whilst that isn’t (by a long way) a tidy job the ceramics and glass are generally acceptable. However, 6f5 wouldn’t usually be used as a running surface, other than as a construction site haul road, and should be topped with a finer material, typically Type 1.

    Slight digression. I’ve just been in a meeting where someone said “brought” instead of “bought”.

    I thought that was just a forum numpty thing, not something that people actually said out loud.

    basically, topsoil

    damp, clay soil

    Which is it? Big difference.

    Topsoil = you are right
    Clay = your girlfriend is right

    Simmy – I drive past it every morning and evening on the way to and from work and the parking is shocking. Pure laziness and entitlement given the car park round the back. The paper shop on the other side opposite the station is just as bad in the morning.

    Just got back in from a road ride. I was stopped at the traffic lights behind two cars, I was leaning on the railings to stay clipped in.

    A car rolled up next to me. White Q3, woman in her early 30s driving (not judging – just scene setting), phone in hand.

    Lights change, front two cars move off, Q3 doesn’t move. Now, I want her in front of me where I can see her, not behind where she might run me over. After a few seconds she put her phone down and set off. No drama really.

    However, about 1/2 mile up the road she was just getting out of her car after parking outside a shop. Completely on the footway right outside the doors probably because of the double yellow lines. The street view photo shows where she parked, fully blocking the footway.

    Ironically, she was dressed in full gym kit but it was obviously too far to walk from the car park at the rear of the shop.

    Some people will just never change their attitudes because they are so self centred.
