I think a lot of kids assume that Mum and Dad are a permanent fixture and always there, then all of a sudden, they aren't. SWMBO had a minor stroke just over a week ago and that made them sit up. Luckily she got away quite lightly but has weakness on her left side which seems to be slowly improving. Early days though. Welcome back Dave, hope things go well for you. 

Sadly Reform does seem to attract some "odd" characters , this isn't going to do them any favours

Cant imagine why she didnt find it amusing. 

Ive started down that road myself. It aint easy, but has to be done. Cant be the family brick forever and ever. 

Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serios.

thanks 
Just life's 'ups n downs'
I seem to be too busy putting fires out all the time, rather than getting ahead and preventing them, though many are unavoidable/beyond my control anyway
if that makes sense

Yes, it makes sense. I've had to educate my family with regards to my advancing years and learn to say no. They get used to it, eventually.

Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serios.

My second wife was Lorraine. I used to constantly sing 'I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone'. She wasn't amused, miserable cow.

Dropped my Omega in for MOT today
passed but advisories for "rust on rear coil springs" 
not the end of the world 

Where've you been, bollöcks? 

Well I haven't been outside ,cleaning surface rust off coil springs all year ,clearly 

Just had a lot going on 

hope you are ok Uncle Stemo and your good lady

Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serious. Glad to see you back 

If it's not igniting at all it's not the photocell. More likely the ht transformer, fuel solenoid or pump.

Thanks Kevin. I replaced the pump about 5 years ago. I don't want to replace any 'suspect' parts in the hope I may get lucky. It could cost me a fortune.

Pretty sure you could pull the photocell and test it with a torch and a multimeter.

Didn't even occur to me. Would this work?
