    Yes, there are a number of ways. I have (somewhere) an excel spreadsheet that does this if you need to convert from local datum to national or vice versa, but could be used in this situation.

    Another way would be to cad out the co-ordinates, and measure the vector between the points.

    Tell the truth. Once you have left, you will not care what you told them. Move on, be happy.

    Before you buy, check out the Karcher website. They have a refurbished section where the machine has been fixed by a real person. I recently bought a 90 quid washer for £35 plus p&p.

    As a coincidence, I have a feed from DRB everyday and there was a link to this blog about strange vehicles. Some service vehicles in there too.

    Thinking about it, a couple of choice photographs once the room is fully finished with nice lighting etc. for their website.

    Often trades don’t get to see the project in its final state.

    Check their website to see if they have a comments page/ link to ratedpeople etc and leave a good reference there.

    It might be the brownie points that wins them their next job or at least gets them in a position to quote for work.

    My wife had similar problems with her old phone. The solution was to change the channel number in the router settings. Google which channel is best for your particular phone.

    This. He seems to have taken the theme of irreverence and concentrated solely on this, with no regard to whether is is actually funny or current.

    Never mind, 28 weeks later is on now.

    That warming feeling in direct sunlight. I felt it yesterday and paused for a moment with a smile on my face. It’s been a while.

    I understand that you can get them online from the Far East.

    I’d be careful with one of these wifes. They come in new packaging but are often pre-owned and have had a hard life.

    I once heard a story where the new owner was surprised to find a ping pong ball had been left inside 8O

    Ben, see what you are saying, but you trace over the photo in the app to form lines and intersections. The app then calcs the angles from your drawn lines.

    I suppose you could set up a tripod and set the bike at a specific distance away for accuracy.

    Try this app:

    Autodesk Force Effect

    Take before and after photographs and measure the angle.

    Cheers for the replies. I’ll look a Merlin and see what options are available.

    Ir, I would love to give building my own a go. I have built up a truing jig with a dial test indicator for fixing buckles. It is just that I wouldn’t have faith in my first build for me to relax and enjoy them.

    What will jacking achieve apart from more cost?

    I assume that the pipe needs to be removed as it is out of service and poses contamination issues if left in situ.

    Digging a trench of that size and with consideration to the locality will cost and (as the op queries) will be problematic.

    As a solution, pipe-jacking only requires a small trench at each end. You would then force a new pipe with a larger diameter around the existing pipe. You are then able to jack the contaminated pipe out, leaving the new, clean pipe in place. Grout everything up and backfill the excavations.

    There are often situations where the solution may cost slightly more (I’m not saying this method will be more costly) but given the far safer working practices may be the better option.

    I like the original, but think the cover is better.

    With regard to the pipe-jacking option, look at UK Trenchless technology website.

    I had a cpd seminar from them last year. Although I have never used this myself, the application seems almost a perfect solution for this.

    I bought my wife a Bluetooth keyboard for her nexus. It was around 20 quid iirc. It is a brilliant bit of kit. Same patterned back as the nexus and clips over the screen for transit.

    I’ll dig out a link.

    There is also the possibility of pipe-jacking around the existing pipe (assume it not able to be pipe-jacked itself). Then remove the existing pipe before grouting the new one.

    Are you removing it due to contaminants?

    40mpg, you may be correct, but the last few I worked on required one at the insistence of the piling contractor. All to do with insurances when working on soft/ vibro sensitive strata.
    Either way, I would factor in the cost and see a saving if not required?

    The sheet pile wall should be designed such that the excavation plant is at the top.

    Be aware you will need a stone piling mat (which also needs designing) for the piling rig as they won’t go near the site otherwise.

    I used to do this sort of thing in my previous job and can point you in the direction of good, experienced local firms if you wish (assuming NE coast)

    Do you have a class or course representative?

    I was one for my final year in uni. They usually have the ear of a person that can help. It also is a formal route which you can fall back on if needs be down the line.

    Your circumstances remind me of a similar case in Hexham a few years ago;

    Basically, a local wood had been used to build unofficial jumps and trails and a group put proposals forward for the council to make them official and even provide funding?

    Anyway, here is a link to a document that may be of use;

    Dukehouse Wood Hexham

    I’m not sure how it turned out for them, maybe a local can shed some light?

    What phone do you have?

    Search for Kidigi. I have one for my HTC one x and it is superb.
    They have even designed in a removable insert if you use a phone sleeve. Simple yet clever.

    A pub near South Shields and right on the coast used one of these as an outside kitchen.

    They clad the outside with halved logs to give a log cabin effect. It worked rather well.

    The force required to pull the brakes against the rim is a function of the lever arm distance between the pin and the cable end and the lever arm of point at which force is applied by the hand.
    Imagine a see saw with one side shorter than the other.

    The rest is ergonomics.

    I recently had a week in Settle, lovely village with some nice places to eat/ stay. Plenty of good riding and pretty central for short day trips.

    Try the Talbot Arms for food too.
