  1. Yeah, but its effective! The mice don't come back! There was an old country story of putting bed legs in troughs of water to keep mice and vermin out.
  2. Don't ask me mate! I'm still waiting for the licence! So far no one has ever asked me for the thing anyway.
  3. The ultrasonic mice deterents do work in an enclosed space, but so does a twenty bore.
  4. I would say any time at the Menin Gate is a 'Grand Occasion' . I'd just liked to have been there on a special date. It is similar to a cathederal, That it is there is a central point.
  5. Yeah, but there is a lot of polish on it.
  6. Wish I could be! As usual your'e in the right place. :mad:
  7. The reverse bit is still going on. Do you know you can LEAN out of the cab window and cross your hands on the wheel now while doing it! :shocked: Standards just keep dropping. :-D
  8. Silver is a natural antibiotic. That's why it's used in Katadyn type filters. Purse lips and blow a rasberry. Hunting horns has various sizes and shape of mouth pice, so you can get which one suits you. I don't know if bugles are the same.
  9. Not more dispatch riders for A&E! Welcome.
  10. If it means a lot to you. Worth finding a proper conservator to do it. If you pack the book in acid free art paper with some silica gel that will stop it getting worse. Don't pack it in plastic. A plain brown envelope is the best. The way that old books are cleared of infestation is actually to freeze them.
  11. Cat D, is bus and coach, they keep altering how many seats the vehicle can have before you need a D. Minor faults can be indicator on to long, or short. Not likley to cause a problem. Serious means could be a saftey concern, dangerous is when the examiner starts screaming and dives out. There was when I took it no limit to the number of tests, but you had to wait three days bettween tests. The taco can't help you with, stage fare bus on routes under 50km don't use them.
  12. Find your OWN way! :nut: That's me out then!
  13. If it don't snow, you will be one very unhappy Teddy! :-D
  14. Buy a cheap wall hanger hunting horn and learn to sound that. Then move onto a bugle mouthpice. Purse lips and F*rt down it, honestly that's how it was described to me, and it works. If you can get sound out of a cheap wall hanger you'll have no problem with the real thing.
  15. :red: OPPS! Still l like both places!:iloveyou:
  16. There is no equivalent of the old Class 1 anymore. You now have test for the vehicle class, in this case C, then you have a seperate test for 'Trailer Entitilment' trailers over 750kg mass. the + E. That is now 'Artics'. When the Class 3 came in years ago, following the change from 'over 3 ton unladen ' to 7.5t GVW you could , if you showed you'd driven vehicles of that size get up to 16 ton for free, like a Bl**dy idiot I didn't apply!
  17. No mate, they were aimed at you. As the Allies pushed in from the coast the radius of action for the V1 was reduced. I'm sure I read that more were aimed at Antwerp than London. V2 as well. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/43/a4140343.shtml
  18. Most of them were taken out by the guns on the coast, before entering the aircraft zone.
  19. Has Rosie been battering you again? :-D Yees, you can put L plates on an artic, you can even drive on a motorway. You must be accompanied by someone who has held a full licence for the clas for three years and is over twenty one. YOU must also have a provisional licence for the LGV, your ordinary licence will not cover you . In order to get the provisional you have had to had a medical. There is a special section of the DVLA to cover commercial licences, they are actually prity good. The application forms for the licence can be downloaded on line. You will also need to take the theory and hazard perception test. These must be passed before you take the practical test and are valid for two years. Reversing is a specific excercise. You start with the vehicle bettween two cones. You then back out performing an S manouvere without hitting a cone on the right hand side. You then back into a a gagarge of cones stopping with the rear of the vehicle over a strip , one metre wide. You may shunt, but you must not touch any cone. The excersise concludes when you apply the hand brake. There is also the controlled stopping excersise. The vehicle is taken up to 20 mph and must be stopped in a controlled manner in a straigh line , normally in about 2/3 of the vehicle lenght. You will during the practical test be told to start the evhicle from a standstill, move up through the gears to a specified gear, then go down the box into first,without stopping or stalling and then move off through the box. Here endeth the lesson! :drive:
  20. Thanks Richard. Reading other peoples problems, may well be useful in the future.
  21. Richard, if it is a dual circuit master. Could the middle piston be the wrong place? Or would that give no brakes at one end?
  22. That's why I now show in a RASC uniform at [CENSORED] it would be bl*8dy ridiculous for me to be infantary, I live that to the young whippersnapper!
