Go with your childhood dreams… become a …Train Driver 50K£ +

hours cant be any worse than retail?

How about Operation Rayleigh? Or a vso type activity away from the hometown?

Can’t accuse the BBC of being behind the times then!

No, but incentivise people to undertake regular training, by increasing insurance premiums after 5yrs which would then ratchet up by 10% per annum afterwards and are reset after completing the training

Be careful opening the hatch to the cellar

Clearly the folk who find clearing the windscreen too difficult have been watching Das Boot and Run Silent Run Deep

Wobbliscott I think you should check the validity of your assertion on the volume of nuclear waste created. I’d recommend a visit to Drigg.

I’ve had engineers go out and audit the supply chain in China and repeatedly they’ve returned with ethical issues relating to Health Safety and Environmental. The results have been either actively managing the supply chain or going elsewhere.

There are lots of reasons why it’s a cost efficient place to buy products however the differences in environmental standards and enforcement are one of the reasons for the low costs.

I once sat and watched a Chinook lifting a CH-53… it wasn’t very happy about it but the noise was impressive…..

Chickenman have a look at the reports on the most common cars to have failed the 1st MOT, French cars tend to fail more often than the equivalent models from other countries

It just means Vauxhall products will end up as woefully built as the rest of the PSA group products

do you have access to a vehicle with a winch?

Minoura vergo, the mounts can be angled and moved to match the mix of bikes your carrying

i bought some 2nd hand 20mm mounts cut down the ends and made spacers so I can swap out for 9mm, 9mm x 135, 15mm etc

the are a range of different mounts available to buy

At least they aren’t mocking you

Have a look on the Landmark Trust website, all sorts of amazing and special places available

GWR thermae special offer 4 hrs for price of 2

Jerry who was the co organiser for the Marin Rough ride series of events used to be the go to guy in the area, there used to be a rough rides website which had loads of routes in the Marches.

It’s in the share holders best interest for the company to report honestly, forecast correctly, manage the business professionally, take and manage risks appropriately, meet the companies legal obligations to all parties.

It is not it the best interest of shareholders to fail in the above or to pay large dividends when the performance of the business doesn’t justify it

If they get the above list right then the shareholders investments have been justified and they deserve just reward. The failure here is with the directors of the business.

Make pension funding sufficiency part of the scoring criteria for all government contracts

Nothing more expensive than getting a half finished priject completed by a new main contractor

Bike buddy cages

Despite the headlines professing Armageddon the reality will be a damp squib. If Carillion fail it will just be like the collapse of Jarvis

The folks who are likely to be out of pocket are employees who are let go and anyone left with a part finished construction projects (excluding the PFIs)

Mefty +1

It’s likely Carillion have sold most of the equity that they had in any PFI deal, most likely that what remains are the hard and soft FM contracts, the administrators would self off various divisions as going concerns…. so the impact on Jo public will be minimal.

The employees are likely to suffer from reduced pensions + loss of any share save schemes.

The construction projects are likely to be more significantly impacted, should the construction divisions fail to find buyers the the projects concerned will be blighted by having to change main contractor.

Kind Hearts and Coronets

Bittersweet movie where the co stars get to shine

In addition to the plinth heater you could fit a door closer

150 dia ducting as short and minimal bends or fittings.

External or remote fan motor is another option but that starts to get £££

I don’t think they were despised, just that they rotted away as quickly as a hilman hunter… promised so much but delivered so little

The argument about needing investment from users has worn thin over the years

However…. the new GWR rolling stock is better in many ways and the on train staff must have had some customer care training…… hopefully the network improments + new rolling stock will improve reliability

European networks are probably not the best comparison as their capitals are tiddlers compared to London

We went with the unvented option, we previously had a shower pump for one bathroom. It was great to get similar performance in all the bathrooms + remove the hassle (had occasional pump failures over the years). + the pump noise

If you want obscure…..

Horton (Horton Heath)

Then link back and pick up Mortimer’s Forest then train back from Ludlow

The bike buddy ones are V robust, swapping out the spring tensions for some small bungees mages the even more useful

Slidebars are useful if your car is tall of your not.

Rent a dehumidifier not an lpg heater unless you want to make more water….

It will be full of people looking back at the fanciful predictions made 10yrs before

Whilst Harkal was hideous I was expecting it to be grim…

A far worse experience is whan something that should be at least fine turns out to be vile… for example the Lasagne that I was served in New York that was constructed using about a kilo of Philadelphia cheese or the rogan in Barmouth that was some unidentifiable meat product and gravy …. getting something made by findus from a corner shop would have guaranteed a better dining experience

It had a client that had gas lights on on the gate columns and then lights along both sides of the drive that lit sequentially from the gatehouse to the main house…. At the same time the fountains started up.

The whole place was nauseating

Warming drawers are worth considering

Thanks for the helpful answers, it appears that it’s covered in the lease it’s just the landlord needed to be reminded to be nice!

Bit further away but Maunditts House near Malmsbury

The scenarios where old folks end up with huge stockpiles of prescription drugs is probably far more common than people realise and a significant source of them on the streets.

An elderly relative ended up with a bin bag full of pain kit and anti depressants… what happened is their memory gradually deteriorated and they were forgetting to take their meds… so they would go to the doctors complaining that their pain etc was getting worse and then get prescribed ever stronger meds…

In their case we’ve got them care specifically to come on and remind them to take the now more moderate prescriptions.
