  1. Opening up a can worms but ...the manufacturer is covering their arse, correctly, by stating that the pump is not a portable appliance, it must be "hard wired", meaning cannot be plugged and unplugged into a socket. The supply cable, the flex that would usually come with a 3 pin 13 amp fused plug attached to it, should be connected into a fused connection unit, hence in did not come supplied with a plug. The circuit that the FCU is supplied by, your power circuit that probably powers your kitchen sockets should be RCBO (not RCD) protected at origin at your consumer unit (fuse box). Not a
  2. We were on the part refurbishment and extension of Ashington high a few years ago, a kick up the arse from Bedlington. I was surprised at the amount of Bedlingtons about. Modern KC stuff but still more of a terrier type than toy poodle with a bit of substance and colour, not like the light bone and dirty white or pink coats found in some show dogs. I find it strange that a pit village in northern England gave the name to a breed now found throughout the world. The locals still seem proud of their dog.
  3. Thankfully seems like there'll be other days for him. That's a good bag of rats.
  4. You're not building a large wooden boat by any chance?
  5. Not the perfect breed of dog to do the work allowed now in the UK and never were, apart from the jobs that they were developed for. But will hunt, run and catch anything and are very nice animals to own. Depends on how much you need to catch and how often.
  6. I agree 100%. My use of the word "honest" has been misinterpreted. The point that I was trying to make is that he did not feel the need to disguise his extreme left politics too much, and his plans for the UK if he was to become PM. That's why I "liked" him as even many born and bred Labour voters could not bring themselves to vote for him. Much to the disgust and astonishment of the middle class working class heroes who are now regrouping and rethinking ways of implementing their dreams.
  7. That's a shame. He was honest. An idiot but an honest idiot. He was the only reason that Labour were unsuccessful in the last election. Now his devotees who have learned not to be so honest will be more successful.
  8. Are you thinking the character of the dog was captured by the work done in the 1st or 2nd stage and has been overworked by the 3rd? I do not think so but wondering why you ask the question. All 3 images are very, very nice.
  9. It's always going to be about money, that's the modern game in England and I think everyone gets that and no one holds a gun to any one's head, but PPV is a step too far I think. Good reaction from those donating to "food banks" instead of paying to watch the games. Particularly Leeds fans according to reports.
  10. I see that Mike Ashley has spoken out about the PPV matches as a piss take of fans wanting to watch their team when not allowed in the ground but already forking out for Sky and/or BT. Fair play.
  11. 2 scared teams played each other tonight. Good players in both squads but the managers are not playing to win games, just for survival in the league.
  12. He will be along soon enough, or will he?
  13. How are Sunderland doing?
  14. Christmas started for me just before Easter, have been furloughed since then. Reverted back to living like I did as a teenager, but with money. I'm back to work full time next month though. I think Christmas should be cancelled this year and everyone needs to pull together and get the country working at full capacity again.
  15. Could have been far, far worse. At least the knacker didn't lose you permission in a place you've just moved to.
  16. But they do have a talent for making things taste nice ?
  17. My mistake, I was wrong, thank you. I always try and avoid anything to do with those animals but ignorance is no excuse for posting wrong information that assumed to be true.
  18. The protection has not been lifted. They are being "culled" but under strict licence and at vast cost to the tax payer.
  19. I haven't eaten 1 but if they tasted any good would we not be having 1 for tea tonight? There must be a reason why people didn't eat them even in hard times and before they became, in the UK, 1 of the most protected species of animal on the planet and why they aren't on the menu in other countries.
  20. This thing about working terriers being kept in close circles and the ownership of them being something akin to a religious cult is a load of bollocks. I do believe that some very dedicated folk do practice that religion and they have my upmost respect but they are the exception rather than the rule. Terriers have always changed hands for the right money, the right money being the something that can only be agreed upon by the seller and buyer.
  21. Yes, but they have the power now. That's why projects are trying to be done to unachievable programmes with no profit on them (for sub-contractors) and mental health has become a big issue in construction. Go through the spec with a fine tooth comb, get your clarifications correct at tender and be water tight on programme and progress. When the shit inevitably hits the fan through their greed/incompetence hit them back with acceleration costs.
