And don't just accept the shite that the BBC put out, complain....get your friends to complain. It's easy, just an online form. If you don't get a reply, complain.....to your MP if necessary, it is a public funded entity after all.

I have, frequently, and, unsurprisingly, got nowhere. The programme Feedback on radio 4 was a good example of the BBBC’s woke agenda. Having listened to it over many years, I do not recall the Beeb EVER accepting listeners’ criticism.

Sadly, this really is part of the day job, as there are fewer environments which present such extremes of temperature as automotive (-40degC up to 95+degC ambient is not unusual)

One of them is aerospace, where stuff has to work in ambients between -40C  (Parked in the open in Norway in Winter) and +125C (parked in the open in Saudi Arabia in summer). Initial internal temperatures can exceed 200C before the Air Conditioning in the avionics bays gets the temperatures down to 125C. Then they take off, up to 40000 ft where the outside air temp is -40DegC.

You wish.

There's stories every day about this invasion, the Lawyers that helped with this claim are known to assist in beating the system, Then there's the Invaders that are wearing £500 trainers, i-,phone12 etc.  O and inspector Clouseau can't even find were they keep buying 20ft ribs and 30+ life jackets from, can't see them being towed to the beach, loaded up, and then launched.


The French have big legal and illegal immigration problems of their own. Why would they do much to stop those who are just passing through, especially since we cut ourselves off from EU cooperation
.

So no change there then >:(

Napier Barracks, previously known as Shorncliffe Camp, where I was born,  and where my father was stationed in the QORWK. It is probably a bit more salubrious nowadays.  ::)

There was an amusing story with this operation. On checking in to the hospital I was required by a doctor to sign a disclaimer, which, in the small print, allowed anyone other than the consultant to carry out the op. Not happy with this, I crossed that section out before signing, and said doctor was somewhat discombobulated.
Arriving at theatre the following morning, feeling quite mellow after the pre-med, the consultant pulled his mask down to identify himself as he leant over, saying with a smile,  “Satisfied?” ;D

After several injections of something which didn’t cure it, I had an operation to expose the tendon which was then scraped to remove inflamed tissue. I think, as I was out at the time. It did fix it.

It nearly made a 90 miles trip without the inidcator packing up.  I did about 60 miles before giving up the ghost.

Headlight had quite heavy condensation inside again this morning, which has now disappeared in this sun.
Do they fit the same component to BMWs & Audis?

Due to complaints, now an optional extra.  ::)

Recommendations please for good quality pads for my Mondeo. Last service they were 5mm so although only a few hundred miles since I’d prefer to change them before the stealer does the service. I prefer softer pads to ‘high speed’ ones, as my hooning days are over. :y

Doubt a surveyor would have noticed that with a quick peek through a hatch. Mainly because no one would be looking for it, it's the kind of mistake you just wouldn't expect to happen.
That's his JOB  ??? 

or HER JOB  :D

I'm not up on wokeness enough to know how to address a surveyor who doesn't identify as him or her  :P 

Opti might know  :D

to look for major structural problems that may leave the building society or buyer with a pile of rubble

lots of things get missed on big sites by building control because they don't inspect every property as they go up, just a select sample  .
£500 to £1000 for a Survey that takes an hour at most and another hour back at the office to copy and paste all the disclaimers and press print , sounds like a nice little earner

Quite agree Dave. In my experience the pages of disclaimers are 10 times the size of the actual survey. My experience of surveyors has been dire, never finding the serious problems that exist.  >:(
