We legitimately have one of those big plastic outdoor boxes full of detailing kit. About 4ft long and 2ft square... MrsGK makes me look like an amateur.
She won a trophy at a Merc concours a couple of years ago, to give you an idea...!
..I think that too much is expected from them regarding figures , it's an awful situation for everyone who is dealing with any of it government key ,workers etc it will make absolutely no difference dwelling on what is on death certificates, what is needed is plain old commonsense and people pulling together to get through the present situation & hopefully finding a vaccine to combat this virus, which unfortunately I think is some time away.
Disagree. We need to know why Covid-19 is being listed as the cause of death when it wasn't. Why is this happening?
Simply because it's easier for officials? or is it an instruction from the top to boost death figures so they can justify the lock down?
Why would they need to justify the lockdown ? As I said in my post commonsense..
Exactly. Why would our Government want to inflate the Covid 19 death figures when they are,and will be in the endless future, be judged on their performance in handling this pandemic that has affected most of the World?
Don't see it myself
No neither do I Lizzie, people criticise & comment whatever decision is made these are ordinary human beings dealing with an "invisible enemy" yes people will lose jobs businesses will cease trading in the end all of us will be affected one way or another, regarding the lockdown it's sensible in my opinion but if anyone wants to ignore it it's their decision ultimately it depends how much you value life, yours & others.
Agreed
It is very easy for those without responsibility for a nation to be wise after the event and sound as though they know how the leaders should act and what they should do, along with when. Of course, those without responsibilities can just walk away from their vocals and not take on any sense of consequence.
Anyone of us who has been responsible to shareholders and a board of directors for a mult-million pound business employing 1,000’s of staff knows how that feels when it comes to making decisions that will affect everything you have under your control, including people’s livelihoods. We can just imagine what it is like to be responsible for a nation under threat from an enemy that cannot be seen; at least the likes of Churchill could see the enemy!
But no, you will always get the armchair critics who think they know it all, spout off all kinds of ‘solutions’, but can then forget it all as they go to bed, which I certainly could never do, let alone our PM being able to do that with all he has on his plate!
Who ALWAYS know afterwards exactly what "should" have been done .... ??
Sorted the gas fire. The igniter was striking but there was next to no gas coming out to light. Decided to take bits off to check for a blockage .... the pilot light nozzle has the SMALLEST hole in it .... smaller than a wire off a stainless wire brush but managed to poke a tiny nylon 'wire' through it & obviously managed to clear some sh1te out ... blew out with air line. Re-assembled & there is now a flame big enough for the flame detection gizmo to 'see' .... Sorted!
Tonnes of DIY
Who said the drum was still on? Clearly it's been taken off. That leaves the hub flange in the way. As I recall the access hole in the hub flange is Ø12mm. So a Ø25mm tool just isn't going to fit through. Long pointy nose pliers will.There is a tool for the jobAside from the slow boat from China, are you sure this tool is for this job? The drawing suggests the business end is 2.5cm in diameter, way too big to fit through the access hole in the hub.

.... never used one though
Why would you be doing this through the access hole ?? The shoes are removed/replaced with the drum OFF .. the hole in the drive shaft flange is pretty big and long nosed pliers fit in easily ... .. at least that's how I've always done it !!
Anyway I see he's used a 2BA nut spinner to depress the spring. That will also easily fit through the hole. And is readily available.
