Taah Raaah..... Thank you for your help, a great improvement don't you think? The middle pic is the result of painting some paste of Bar Keepers, leaving overnight, and washing/brushing off the next day. The final pic is a bit shiny, that's cos the satin varnish was still wet when the pic was taken. I'm really pleased

I suspected that. I find it interesting that if CRT deviate from the law in a way boaters don't like there are howls of anguish but not a murmur when it is something they are happy with.

For a minute thought you said the Brexit thread was like a bug and should be fixed. 😁

I prefer this music to the Rhythm of Life

Bought a pot in B&Q today and had a go. Mixed it into a paste and painted it on with a brush, eventually I started putting a bit more effort into cleaning the wood, working the powder into the grain with an old nail brush and scrubbing. Think it's made a difference. I'll give it another go tomorrow. When it's dry, I'll sand the wood, and give it a couple of coats of yacht varnish. Thank you @WotEver, and everyone, looks like Barkeeper has done the trick Knew someone on here were know some 'magic'.

Whenever I think about watching Top Gear I just walk the dog up the road to the local park and watch the 5 year olds playing. Saves electricity and exercises the dog.

We have that on here but the technical bits on how each of you have done it are spread across threads and buried inside topics so I suspect the ideal solution would be for a mod to set up a new "closed" forum and invite specific individuals to post "how I did it" pieces. Maybe a sub-forum on "how I am getting on with it" and perhaps another "problems I found". That way the rest of us could not muddy the topic s with a load of questions but could post questions on (say) the maintenance forum. I would much rather trust a UK forum with contributions from people with a proven track record across technical subjects than something from the USA.

O' I don't know. A 4" Beef & Onion tends to be 4" Beef & Onion irrespective of you being a Plumber or an Electrician

can't disagree with that. ridiculous that Ryanair and Easyjet can offer seats for £30 - the car parks at the airport, or the bus/train to get there cost nearly that much! we need an international treaty where the cost of pollution from aircraft is taxed at a punitive rate.

Get your own survey. A good surveyor will find enough faults to renegotiate the price and get at least the cost of the survey back.
