Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Brought me into the world as well Cathy. She used to live on Chapel Street in the cottage with the monkey puzzle tree in the small front garden. Some later Philistine occupier cut that down. She delivered over 3,000 babies during her career.

Not me but Sally has been laid low with a throat and ear infection. She got to see the associate guy on Friday who suggested five days of antibiotics to get on top of the infections. Fortunately a real doctor signed the suggestion off shortly after lunch on Friday. Prescription went straight to the ...

OGFB Finances 17th March 2024
Just had an email from IONOS regarding an imminent payment for £81.51 due to be paid shortly. I was intending doing a financial update at the end of the month but I had a quick look at our Paypal account which currently stands at £118.00 and some bits. Enough to cover this payment which is for 3 x o...

Re: WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?
Wow! I don't know how you can get to £38 for those bits Stanley unless you are not declaring all.
I filled half a trolley full, including some veg, fruit, tinned stuff, tea, coffee, cereal, other bits and cleaning materials at Aldi yesterday for £22.00.

There should be an upper limit of 50 years old to be president or Prime Minister and the like. At that age they have more to lose.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
Another cunning plan regarding the energy companies. Since deregulation if your meters are in and outside enclosure that enclosure is now the responsibility of the customer and not the supplier who fitted it when the meters were installed. A nice little pass the buck for future repairs. I know this ...

OK on the new to you car Kev. My thoughts regarding the Dyson as well Kev. I have just thrown it back together and have one bit of plastic that should go under the motor, a rubber boot that should go over the motor and a rubber retaining strap that is totally unnecessary as it is fastened in with 4 ...

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Found the problem on the Dyson. I removed the head unit and partially stripped it down, took out the beater brushes, made sure the two end bearings were free and not bunged up. On to the motor assembly which is in it's own housing just off centre of the middle of the beater bar. Bad design means tha...

Pendle Forest Ian. I'm told it has Arquiva A and B transponders for Smart meter data using LoRa radio. The tricky bit is coupling it with the meter I believe. Aye, I have never notice an antenna connector on my meters. Where there's a will there's a way. Well done Col. That probably means that our ...

Interesting Wendy, where's he getting the signal from? Can't judge the direction from your photo. I see the six element vertically polarised yagi so I assume it's off one of the local relay masts?
