Slice a big spud in half lengthwise, then both wrapped halves will fit in the ash.

I wrap mine in foil and bury it in a nearly-full ashpan of a ticking-over stove for an hour or two. Can't remember if the skin is crispy but ash-pan spuds are sublimely delicious, far better than oven-baked spuds. For reliably crispy skin I'd say finish in the oven on max temp for 15 mins.

My opinion is any damage from missing oil will show up immediately as knocking noise rather than revealing itself some time later. For an engine to stop from lack of oil must mean a bearing picked up and seized, or possibly the friction in a piston grabbed but the governor would, I'd have thought, just added more fuel to overcome the friction until full power was not enough. So given the engine still runs with no apparent ill effects I'm wondering if the seizure was something other than loss of oil, overheating perhaps, and the oil loss was coincidental. Bear in mind I know nothing about engines.

I suspect it isn't just the workers doing the grunt work who will be on the site. There might be civil engineers, project managers, surveyors and all manner of people who could be wheelchair users and still capable of doing their jobs.

Curious now. I thought batteries gassing during charging produced H2. Are you saying the gas is actually H2S always, whenever the little bubbles are forming during normal charging? Or is it only H2S during 'abnormal' charging? If the latter when dos it change over to H2S? I am also under the impression a CO detector will detect and sound if both H2 and H2S in enough concentration get into the sensor. Thanks.

On many boats one can loosely judge how full the tank is by looking at the waterline at the bow.

So you have succeeded in filling with a jerry can previously? How do you know the tank is not already full? If it is already full this would fully explain why more water won't go in.

People here do get frustrated when the questions they ask are ignored. I'll repeat David Mack's question. How do you know your tank is not already full?

Star rating? Mine get "Letter" ratings i.e. A, B, C etc. But mebbe this still reflects running costs. Nobody cares, they still want the house they want. Nobody ever rejected a cute country cottage because it was rated D and they wanted one rated C or better. The house you want is rated at whatever it is, take it or leave it. Most take it. The whole thing is a money-wasting job creation scheme dreamed up by that idiot Prescott.

Looks like my prediction back near the start of Whitsun bank holiday for the re-opening is gonna be about right!

Many years ago a good friend of mine subscribed to "Osteopath Monthly" magazine. He says he has a lot of back issues.

Brilliant!!!

WHAT is that?!!!! Is it a really big rat or a really small bloke holding it?

Surely the reason is obvious, but Team Mod has asked us to stop pointing it out actually in the threads.

Were I that farmer up at the top, I'd be arguing that my land would not have slipped away had CRT's predecessors not carved out that channel for the canal. Maybe CRT's argument back would be it wasn't them did it!
