Saw this on the BBC website….

Workmen climbing a double extension ladder with it’s feet on the top platform of a single width tower, which has it’s outriggers straight in line with the long edge (as correctly positioning them...
Some great recommendations, thanks all. I think I'm going to give Stahlwillie a try - not a brand I've owned before, but comments here and further research suggests they're worth a go.
Over the years, my workshop spanner collection has become a bit of a mish-mash, with the remnants of several sets that have suffered from the usual natural attrition (cut up to make custom tools for that one Landrover bolt / snapped or bent on a particularly stubborn bolt / found their way in to...
45p / 25p rate hasn't changed in around 20 years.
Remember around 2001 when people were blockading the oil refineries in protest at a litre of petrol hitting 90p, and when a year's any-driver insurance was around £200? That was when those rates were set!
This is fundamentally where this change is legislation is short-sighted. There's a difference between the HMRC view of an office worker getting a company vehicle as a "perk" and a tradesman parking a company van in their drive overnight and being allowed to use it to go the shops. In my book, a...
A quick scan round the units on our estate (mostly family owned businesses) suggests that most, like us, buy outright and expect a vehicle to last a good 15-20 years.
My Amarok is an example - 5 years old now, however in 4 years time under new rules will incur full car-like BiK if not left in...
Something like this…

Fits in place using a standard over-the-shoulder seatbelt, which secures the seat in place. Not sure if the Vivaro has a full...
not on a Vivaro, but on a Renault Master, which should be similar - I used to use a basic (non-ISOFIX) seat in the middle seat using seatbelt fixing. I assume I bought it in Halfords or Smyths, but recall it was a good bit cheaper than the Maxi-cosi ISOFIX ones the other half insisted on for the...
Can't fault Samsung personally, have 8 or 9 between the home and office - office ones are on 10 hours a day (have our job boards, etc showing on them).
Only gripe I have is that the apps disappear off the older ones, although I solved this by buying a Firestick for the main TV at home which is...
I remember this being highlighted as an issue when the iPhone 4 came out. There was a bit of a media storm which I think resulted in Steve Jobs demonstrating that you could do the "death grip" on most of the competitors phones at the time as well.
I keep a couple of rattle cans of Tractol for small jobs / patching up. Gave up on hammerite years ago. If going to bare metal then primer and top coat.
In this weather, will need a bit of heat to cure... IR lamp or space heater tends to work for me.
Sadly not an option on neighbours new router, would have been the obvious workaround.
That said, doubt they’ll notice any issues in 2.4Ghz given there’s only one person in the house
Issue is that the data logger only supports 2.4GHz wifi, and specifically states it doesn’t work with combined Wifi signals (2.4GHz and 5GHz using same SSID)
Neighbours new router combines 2.4GHz and 5GHz in one SSID, so options were to disable the 5Ghz capability (which made it work), or buy...
Will your app work with my broadband?
I recently assisted a neighbour who's PV monitoring app had stopped working since he had his broadband upgraded to full fibre. Turns out the data logger only connects to older wifi, and couldn't connect to the modern combined signal from his new router...
My toolbox is full of Knipex for a reason. Really can’t fault them.
I know you said side cutters, but for electrical work my first choice is almost always my knipex combination pliers...
scrape / rub down any loose / bubbling paint, then mist coat as your first coat. If you're really enthusiastic, you could give a quick rub over with a sanding pole (I personally give a very quick once-over with an orbital sander before painting walls where paint is going to the the final...
Anyway, on topic, I think every set of Easy Outs I've ever bought has been more useless than the last, however I couldn't believe my eyes on Sunday evening when watching @doubleboost on Youtube and he chose his weapon of choice, muttering something along the lines of "well these b*std things...
I have an Armeg Solid Board Cutter which I bought probably 20 years ago, but find the silverline covers fit perfectly if I don't have any Armeg to hand.
Edit: Just notice I'm replying to a 9 year old post! Thanks @skotl :ashamed:
