You should also never press "option 1, 2 etc " from a unknown caller as this too can initiate huge phone bills..

Two Stroke oil of today is specially formulated to produce as little smoke as possible, a smokey 2stoke bike is old Knacker and has had a beating for most of it's life probably contributing more to the smoke trail. Using ex sump oil is probably not a good idea, you've removed it because it's been collecting impurities, it may have metal fragments (tiny) and be acidic. Incidentaly I add 1 in 200 parts 2SO to diesel as it reduces smoke from old diesels it's quite common in in Old Land Rovers to do this. It was started to replace the lubrication lost when fuels went over to low sulpher fuel which has less lubrication, the side effect of reduced smoke , and slightly less engine noise was a welcome addition. Note, it takes a couple of tank fulls to go through before the effect become apparent

That would depend on if there was a club curry night the night before.....

In the little country villages of Wiltshire that still applied in the 1960s In the outer Hebrides it still applied in the 1980's except for the curry you did get something undescribable with the appelation "curry", in the junior ranks Mess.

Where does that fit on the boat?

About 1978, A Royal Air Force Sailing Association dinghy course at Horning SC, within 6 months I had a Laser dinghy.... a variety of dinghies have followed since. Rescue boat duties followed at least twice a year ever since. Sometime between then and 1983 I did go out on a day boat a few times. About 2001 bought my own motor boat

No mine doesn't, but then it's a phone nothing else although it does have a rubber jacket so it bounces and is waterproof..

A question or more , Have BA increased the rates for payment before? Could the old posts be updated in such a way? What was the cost per unit to BA when the last sale price was set and what is it now

I suspect they'll get away with it by including the costs of post replacement as part of "standing charges"

Are you sure it's not those moving to Norfolk bring the lard with them?

All I can think of is the cartoon film WALL-E

That appeared some years ago on George Clarke's amazing spaces. It was also in last years repeats programmes. See here http://www.channel4.com/programmes/george-clarkes-amazing-spaces/on-demand/62967-014

Ive found it I'

Welcome to the site, Now you may find this a hazzard or wish to watch but.... Weather permitting, Horning Sailing Club should be sailing from Horning to Thurne Lion Dyke on Monday 17th April. This is normally starts around Horning Ferry at 10:30 arriving Thurne sometime about 12:00-1300. The return race starting at Thurne Dyke about 14:00. It should be several fleets of boats from dinghies to big sailing cruisers up to a total of 30 boats, starting in half dozen boat fleets at five minute intervals, The best place to moor and watch would be St Benets straight or the church moorings Horning.

There is an accumlator of bad jokes wired together in this thread, whether we will be charged with discharging our responsibility in a positive or negative connection or inducted into a Hall effect of fame, Henry ohmly knows.

On another web site I attend, there are regular appeals for a groan button.....

Not just Built up areas, if for instance you were lost (or more likely someone nicked the signs) you should drive at a maximum of 30 mph till you find a speed limit sign. See paragraph 2, https://www.gov.uk/speed-limits

Technically the national Limit is 30mph, any faster is an exception to the limit.

While In Saudi a friend was outside a car parts place and had just bought a new battery. As he wasn't sure the old one would start the car again, he took the old one out and was busy head under the bonnet doing up the new one when he heard someone run off. When he came up for air he found his old battery had been stolen!!

Although modern speedometers read always less than the indicated speed limit by up to 10%, old ones some years ago had a plus or minus accuracy limit, when that changed I can't remember, it is I believe for that reason, they normally allow 10% + 2 to a speed limit. Simple things can change the accuracy of your speedometer. Just changing your tyres for a new brand with deeper tread, will mean you are going faster than you were before, for the same indication on the speedo. An unusual case I know, but I changed the gearbox on my Landrover, this also required the change of the cogwheel take off for the speedo as without it my speedo would have been out by 20% Many that accuse people of driving cars over the limit are driving a car with a speedo that is almost on it's maximum legal over read, so that they are driving around in a 30 limit at 27mph at the most often a mph or two less than that and in a 70 limit at 63mph. Using your own speedometer is no guarantee that you know what speed the other person is doing. More and more often these days I find people driving a 10mph less than the limit, that is their choice although you can be done for obstruction should the police decide that is what you are doing. But in a 30 limit an indicated 10mph less could be as low as approximately 16mph!!! or a 70 limit doing an indicated 60 approximately 50mph.

We got issued with a company phone like this on one job I was working on because the landlines hadn't been installed yet. The company still complained they couldn't contact us though.... Not suprising really we were working in a secure Radio Frequency screened building. Time to get back to measuring 305hz

I remmeber both those types of shoes as I worked in a shoe shop after school. The local Bobby used to also buy shoes and regularly came back and replaced them inside the guarrenttee time

Having seen those cameras / speedwatch in Frettenham a few of years ago improperly using them trying to get "shots" of me on my motorscooter by raising their arm and trying to shoot over the top of a moving car. I would trust their results as much as a politicians words... (I was well below the limit about to turn right) Saying that sat in a pub, drinking heavily at a pub, taking pot shots at moving boats they'd probably be more accurate...

That's why sailors use port and starboard that doesn't change
