most are just a straight swap- for example see here for a few different 'standard bulb types - https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections

I would think replacement stop, side and indicator bulbs would be fine as they are all just consumables, headlights- it would probably be a different matter as you would need reflectors and lenses designed to give the correct pattern with LED bulbs, in a LED bulb the light emitting elements are more spread out than your existing halogen bulbs would be, so as the current lighting relies on a more or less point source from the bulb being focussed and shaped, the more spread out source of an LED bulb would not correctly illuminate the shaped beam as an effective point source would.

I must be a hobbit too, hairy toes and second breakfasts- yep the only 6 foot 4 inch hobbit out there.

the external strips added to the roof.

its such a good fit, that so far I havent bothered with the vertical bolts to hold it to the roof. previous mast to compare.

some more work on the mast mount, as Griff has made a new one for Broad ambition, so too the model now needed a new one, out with the stainless steel, micro drill bits are the only things that drill this well, if I manage 2 holes before I break one, I consider I am doing well. so holes and slots are drilled, and then I dig through my bolts, some m1.6 x 12 bolts hold the stainless plates to the brass carrier, this will be fixed under the roof. the rest of the bolts are m2 x 16, so now I too have a sturdy mast support for the new style mast.

I suppose its here i should apologise for the ambiguity in my original post, yes I rushed my post to get the safety message in, I didnt reread it and check it said what I wanted it to - this just shows the ambiguity that can arise from different ways of phrasing things, we all know what I meant, but thats not what I actually said. To be fair, rereading it probably wouldnt have done me any good, it was only about 10 years ago when my daughter was diagnosed as dyslexic - when she did her law degree at university, to that point it had gone unnoticed, but when they described the symptoms she exhibited, I realised that i too must suffer, little things like essays at school that skipped whole paragraphs, these were always there when I re read what i had written, but had mysteriously vanished once they had been marked, Strangely, when I was at school, I would read maybe 2 books a day, so the problem was never spotted in me. but it does mean I can reread something I have written very carefully and still not spot things that should be there because I thought of them, but arent. so apology offered, excuses made, and be careful people not to get any bits squished, we dont want to be reading about any of you suffering even a squished finger or toe, let alone suffering as this family has.

I apologise for not being a scientific type that takes care that what they write is unambiguous I was just trying to pass a safety message about taking care. now back to the poor lady, a poor choice maybe, but in moments of stress what might seem the right thing to do can be a poor choice indeed. so let just take care out there folks.

all I really meant was to be careful not to put body parts between the boat and whatever you are fending off from, such that they could become trapped between the boat and anything else, we dont want people as fenders.

I drove along a road that had been freshly gravelled like that, the car in front got to the first bend and drifted straight off the road, fortunately warning me in time to slow down, 6 weeks later there were big piles of gravel on the verges and bald spots on the road.

are you sure its not Yankee Doodle (looks around to try and spot Dick Darstardly and Muttley)

it is always sad to hear such stories, it is a none too gentle reminder not to try fending off of anything with body parts, after all we are talking about boats weighing in at tons, even though they are moving relatively slowly they have a great deal of inertia, and they just dont stop.

it came very close to that one Easter in my youth, myself and sister were picked up from school early, we all got on a train and headed off, somewhat after dark we arrived at a station (having hurriedly changed stations at London), then we crossed the station platform and found ourselves boarding a boat (my father worked for British rail Ferries so we were just going onboard for a look around) somehow while we were looking around the boat managed to set sail, so we were put in a cabin and tucked up for the night. we awoke in the morning to find we were in holland, we then boarded a train for amsterdam, arriving just in time for a lovely breakfast at a little roadside cafe, spent the day touring the museums and art galleries, then back to the boat for the night crossing home again. this trip was eventful as it was blowing a gale and snowing (I slept through it) and the ships stabilisers had failed. we got home and got a train home through snowdrifts several feet thick. so it wasnt really are we there yet - more where are we.

if Griff attends the beer will be there- in spirit anyway

Charlie, I fully appreciate that, it just seems to me if you are going to put a stop to one type of licence, then you should have the infrastructure in place to issue the replacement type of licence to maintain controls over pest species before you stop the previous licence type. In some ways I can agree with the theory of the stoppage of the general licence type, it gave widespread powers for pest control, but allowed pretty indiscriminate margins for that control, at least if you have to apply for a licence for the particular pest that you are controlling, then closer tabs can be kept upon the controls in place. as for not issuing any of the new licences that replace the general one yet, that to me seems either very short sighted, as the pests will continue to proliferate, or an indication that the consequences of the ban were not thought through and that the infrastructure does not yet exist to enable them to issue the new type licence. Let us hope they get their fingers out and get that sorted, before the pest problem becomes out of control. I do have to wonder if the use of hawks to control pigeon numbers falls under these licences too, after all you could argue that the hawks are just doing what comes naturally when they predate upon pigeons. I would imagine that once the damage suites start coming in for costs for destroyed crops and such due to the non issuing of the new licences, then fingers will suddenly start getting pulled out. using an example from your document, if one football club sues for loss of income from one match which cannot be allowed because health and safety conditions cannot be met due to lack of pest control due to a licence not being issued, that will probably amount to damages in the millions, I wonder how long NE can last under such pressures.

one presumes that in the absence of general licences, that for each case a specific licence would need to be enacted, I guess the question is do NE have the staff to issue these licences in a timely fashion to avoid problems

watching - its been 5 whole minutes and i'm waiting with baited breath.

we have cats like that who can time a run at a door just being opened to perfection, especially if you have your hands full.

The Q, Don't assume that it was BT installing Fibre Cabinets, my company do that too, and BT do come by to connect them to their network. that said I dont see one of ours listed in that area.

I have a few sets of pmr radios that I am happy to lend out on the cruise in company (about 10 sets) to maintain communications.

I used to have a 'Truckers Atlas' that showed all the low bridge heights across the country, at the time I was driving a transit parcel van with a roofrack and had an air draught of around 10 foot 6" (it was a while back) so the atlas was useful, though to be fair there werent many bridges it couldnt get under. there was however a problem finding an MOT centre that had enough height above their lift, or used a pit under the van to inspect the bottom.
