Just watched this on the Talking Pictures channel. The Prendergast File 1964. Spoof documentary. The Ministry of Public Apathy sends Prendergast to assess Britain's canal network Never heard of this before. You can watch the film here ---- http://www.eafa.org.uk/catalogue/4088

Yeah, the other way round - you'd be full of it!

In my view one needs to have an Anode, Cathode and electrolyte making a corrosion cell before it can be called a power supply. An anode on it's own is just a lump of metal.

Apparently it's not so harsh if you don't use the hammer setting...

Mail boxes definitely ought to be wider than the post.

How clever, traps that catch a specific coloured mouse. ?

I always assumed your avatar was a picture of your pet but now I realise it's a serving suggestion.

Who told you that load of bollocks?

Mind you, at the same time a different piece of the puzzle will have probably fallen on the floor at the same time, without you noticing... Happens like this for me anyway!

I recommend an oil stone

N+1 where N is the number of boats currently owned it can also be S-1, where S is the number of boats owned that would result in separation from your partner

I have a shut off valve in both fuel feed & return lines for this very reason. I would fit one when the fuel level has dropped to a safe level. added - my views on the bss, as per your comment above, shows this is yet another example of the poor way in which the bss is written. The bss does require all fuel feed lines to comply with emergency shut-off requirements as per 2.13.1. It seems reasonable to argue that a return is not a feed especially as it fails to define a fuel feed line, therefore is not included in this requirement. But in your case a return line under certain circumstances becomes a feed, at which point in my opinion it must be included because it is now a feed. It seems the bss did anticipate this by stating later in that section that ALL fuel lines below the top of the tank must comply with this section. Basically the section heading is wrong. Probably the result of committee edits and a failure to adequately proof read before issue.

The loss of passed down knowledge and commonsense, has been superceded by the need for regulations and blind adherance. No questions - no knowledge - no commonsense. Monkey reads - monkey obeys. The World is poorer for it.

If you consider any of the above well mannered you are from a different society to the one I have lived all my life in.
