Taken by a souvenir hunter?

It has been mentioned on another thread about navigation lights that you can't just replace a filament bulb by a LED. The design of traditional navigation lights requires the presence of the compact filament of a tungsten bulb positioned accurately with respect to the refracting elements of the lens in order to produce the necessary sharp cut-off in beam angle.

My uncle used to have a metal cage rat trap in his shed that he said they used to use before the war when they lived next door to a stable. He said they always used to drown them in a bucket of water. However, there was a newspaper report last year of someone being prosecuted for drowning a caged rat, as it was not considered to be a humane way of killing it.

Gaffa tape can provide an effective quick fix in emergencies. Preferably degrease with meths first.

You can get small tins (typically 14ml, = 1/2 fluid ounce in imperial) of transparent paint from shops that sell plastic model kits. I use it for restoring the colour of traditional incandescent christmas tree lights and for colouring clear bulbs when no coloured replacements are available.

My experience is that, whenever a government encourages you to do something different, its not to benefit you, but to save itself money. So you are usually better of maintaining the status quo. As per the encouragement to contract out of SERPS and move your occupational pension to a private pension debacle a couple of decades ago.

I understand that the modern engineering drawing conventions that we use today, were first devised by the French, and were considered to be so much better than previous practice that they were originally classified as a State Secret.

No doubt waterways will be featured in it.

At least we will still have the Llangollen due to it being also used to convey drinking water to the Midlands. I seem to recall that it was only maintained as a navigable waterway after WWII because a manager insisted that keeping it navigable was essential so that maintenance craft could access the many sections with no road access.

This is still being broadcast at the time of writing, no doubt available from their web site later. I missed the beginning and came in when they were dewatering Telford's masterpiece, then dealt with dredging the Monty, currently interviewing Mr. Parry who is discussing funding.

I remember reading that the records of one of the old canal companys were lost when their offices received a direct hit in a bombing raid during WWII.
