One of my first jobs was in the factory of a famous Christmas cracker factory in Norwich. One of my duties was to take supplies (plastic toys, the "riddle papers" and the cracking part) from the stores to the shop floor which was pretty much staffed by "ladies". I was only about 15, but even...

A long time ago in Kings Lynn I was working on the site where we were building the bypass. Sitting in my portakabin a Hilti nail came through the wall behind me and kept on going past my head and through the wall in front. It had come from an office 2 doors down. Some of the junior engineers...

We have mains pressure hot water with a solar heating system. They are quite common in France. It's just a tank with 2 coils in it. One for the glycol passing through the solar panel and one for a hot water bleed from the log burner/central heating. It also has an immersion heater for cloudy...

It is now law in France to have all season tyres (3PMSF’ (3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake)) in certain hilly/mountainous areas . Failing that, you have to have chains or "snow socks" on the driven wheels at least. The area covered by this law is most of the eastern side of the country.

It's basically super glue with an inert filler powder. Bicarbonate of soda does just the same job. You can also buy coloured powder online to use on black plastic repairs
