I have an old Kenwood mixer of similar vintage tucked away somewhere that was my Mum's. It's a hefty old thing and weighs a tonne! 

Perhaps our illustrious leader has been asked to step down...

If our Dear Leader manages to get away with handing over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, he might go then with his big brown envelope tucked under his arm. 

There is a certain satisfaction to be had from getting old appliances working again...... like our boiler from 1999.

Make do and mend was the slogan during WW2.

I believe James May is into this sort of thing.

Used the old Kenwood Chef A901E to knead some dough the other day and noticed it smoking like a docker and grinding its gears.

As the topic suggests I had a go at it. For the sake of £6.50 for new snubber R/C components and a suppression cap, some Duckhams grease and a couple of hours ‘enjoyment’, it’s now sweet as a nut. So substantially built too. Not like a modern appliance that’s pressed and snapped together so it busts as soon as you look at it.

And it’s over 40 years old. FORTY!!

Before...

After...


P.S. Admins, is there a problem with the Notify function on the forum? Most likely it's just me, but I used to get topic and board notifications no problem.

Now I get none. I’ve checked all my profile settings and all looks good but just now I looked on the forum and there were new posts on boards I was watching but I got no pings…

Perhaps our illustrious leader has been asked to step down...

Amid all the media noise about the arrest of AMW, I wonder what's really going on and what are they trying to hide? 

Look, look they've arrested AMW!    Dead cat? 

Calipers don't need any 'high temperature' paint; anything suitable for metal will do. I brush them with whatever silver/black/dark colour 2k paint I have lying around.


If I was going to choose a colour it would be the same as the wheel.

Good to know, Clear it is then

I note it is his birthday today, probably not the police uniform and handcuffs he was hoping for

The misconduct charge carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
It seems its not connected to the Epstein stuff but what he got up to when he was a trade ambassador ?
Mandy did have a similar type of job at one point I think ? so maybe he will have his collar felt on similar charges.
Time will tell I suppose.

Interesting that Mandy hasn't been.....I suspect those in power are to scared he will scream like a little piggy
