Please don't take it so badly, the smiley face was supposed to be a light hearted gesture and the 'sarcastic tone' more of a friendly ribbing. Crikey! "which i find interesting as i do see .... and i still do some jobs there" If you can spell then you should know that when referring to oneself...

But it is a good thing to have respect, to be civil and to avoid unnecessary offence. Especially at Christmas! Steve.

Absolutely, simply spot on !!!!! Steve.

Well..... in these enlightened times I think we can do without the (frankly slightly racist and old fashioned) Jewish reference. Steve

Our Coop still sells loose leaf tea - got a load today as it happens. Steve.

Errr... That would probably be Lucy Worsley then... :D Interesting OP but I'm not entirely sure that there aren't a few old wives tales in with the facts! Steve.

I can heartily reccomend the Francis Francis X1. http://www.johnlewis.com/francisfrancis ... mcampid=73 We've had one of these for many years now and it is superb in every way. Great coffee using either pods (illy are very good) or fresh groung coffe just like a 'real' esspresso machine. It...

ITV an international broadcaster ? Come on, they don't register on the global scale. Look at the teams sent by ABC or NBC, on most major events they end up sending as many as ten times as many staff as the BBC for much less coverage. Perhaps you can tell us the other funding arrangements ?[...

In reply to your question: Yes it does - No you can't! Marcros is correct in his description of stand oil. Use real turpentine to thin it but in all honesty boiled linseed oil is the same thing. I doesn't really matter by which mechanism the polymerisation is accelerated, the result is the same...

Thanks for being understanding Pete, I appreciate it. Re-reading my post I se that I was maybe a little too forthright... :oops: Steve.

As a left handed person, may I say that I find it strange that in this modern world we can still ignore being referred to as 'cack' handed; and that a right hander can openly accuse us of using the 'wrong' end of the bench. For us left handers, the end we use is, quite naturally, the correct...

Hi Sam, I hope you find this book of interest - especially Chapter IV 'Shaker Furniture Finishing'. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=XD6J ... es&f=false As you'd expect, boiled linseed oil makes an appearance :wink: All the best, Steve.

Here's the end of the story for completeness :wink: After a bit of careful measuring it became obvious that the cutter block was inclined slightly with respect to both the top tables and the lower (thicknesser) table. Thinking that the chances of the top and bottom tables being out in the same...

When does opinion become fact? Well I dont know the exact point but I would suggest that when 97 percent of the scientists in the field agree on something, it stops being opinion and turns into fact. Let's not forget that back in the day, commercial interests attempted to show that the science...

Well, it has nothing to do with anyone related to me returning from China but I have to agree 100 percent with Mailee's observation! Cheers, Steve. Edit: Having just read my own post, I think in the interests of fairness and all round honesty, I'd have to say that the same sentiment applies to...
