  9. Have you seen the ones where they scaffold a building, then hang a drop on the scaffolding with essentially a large photo of the building printed on to it?
  10. well at least its not sanding dust
  11. in the pleasure boat at hickling
  12. Here we go. Tim puts it so much better than I ever could.
  13. I am just trying to find the post where Tim discussed this, but in general terms the TOS used to not allow criticism of businesses, but after several protestations that it was not fair if only good reviews were allowed, we decided to allow consttructive criticism, as long as the criticism didnt turn into a deliberate campaign against a company, after all if a business doesnt know it has made a mistake, they cant change their policies to avoid that mistake in the future.
  14. just needs a new chine and a few planks
  15. that was this morning - early bird and all that, I was home by 7am yesterday was sorting out the workshop and tools from the work on RT.
  16. Well after nearly two months of trips to the broads and missing my boot fair fix, I managed to get to the boot fair today, only two purchases, but utter bargains. first is a vice on a compound table, for just £10, it needs cleaning and oiling, but its a proper bargain, and will fit nicely on my big pillar drill, the second was an old telescope in its wood box, I already have one of these, so know the quality, so, despite the tripod being missing it was well worth the £20 I paid, so 2 new projects for cleaning up and restoration.
  17. I hope you are reunited soon. might be worth stressing the medical dog angle to anyone you get in contact with as it might speed things up.
  18. there is a chart to correlate battery voltage to charge state, but it must be measured after the batteries have been off charge for about an hour or you will get a false reading
  19. in your first post with the battery out of its holder, I am not quite sure what you are testing , maybe a voltage through the board on one battery.
  20. looking at your meter connections, the bottom picture, you are correctly testing the middle battery, in the top picture you are once again testing the middle battery but with the probes reverse polarity, you have your positive probe connected to the positive end of the top battery (which is the negative end of the middle battery, and your negative probe connected to the negative end of the bottom battery (which is the positive end of the middle battery). Clear as mud - probably are the lights both the same colour? some colour LED's use more current than others, so this may be a contributing factor.
  21. it has been known for the wiring inside components to be faulty, I once bought something that did not work until I put the batteries in backwards, ie with the positive towards the spring end, generally a lack in the quality control department.
  22. and therin lies another issue with the site, you like myself and many others I suspect spare a glance as we cross the bridge for whats happening on the water, suppose as we are glancing at the boats, there is a coach full of children turning into the entrance of the proposed centre, are we going to see it in time to stop? a bad entrance at the best of times, compounded with a good view from the top of the bridge makes for a dangerous turning for coaches or cars parking at the site.
  23. Here is a copy of the letter - reproduced with the kind consent of Bill Maxted Parish councillor to keep the public informed, and prevent the spread of alarm and despondency.
