    I think your calcs look OK and my windows calculator comes up with 1.907 metre so 10/10 and you can go to the top of the class!?

    Re Post #24: "I was told exactly the same when a diesel bowser sank near Tower Bridge. It dragged down a tug which was moored alongside and caused, in my eyes, a massive stretch of polluted river. Sure enough after a few tides it had all disappeared. " River pollution doesn't 'just disappear', it moves elsewhere - until there's nowhere else to go and then it just gathers, stagnates and kills things.

    Would it be possible to hammer the loop back into place and then make a new loop which fits over the existing one. Then drill and bolt the new one and the old one together through the upright sections?

    Live life on the edge. You only get one chance, so do what YOU want to make yourself happy, ( within reason ? ), and if anyone doesn't like it then it's their problem not yours.

    I would presume it refers to the old fashioned telephone operators putting their headphones back on after a tea break. Most likely I'm wrong though - I usually am!

    Ditto - I was so surprised I thought they must be somebody elses.

    Can't see too well from the photo but the outer bearing race seems too narrow to be a thrust surface. I suspect the bearing is a normal ball bearing designed to take radial loads only. Perhaps the other bearing is a thrust bearing? I think you will need to strip it to find out what you have. Shouldn't be difficult - just remove the circlip and gently knock the shaft through from the other end.

    I can't speak for canal boats because I have never been on one. However, modern headlights in built up areas, whether at night or during the day, are a positive menace because they hide so much in the glare. For night time please bring back large but low powered side lights - they make it much easier to judge traffic conditions. During the day you don't need lights at all if you are looking at the road properly.
