Sorry, read it as a new thread not 10 pages in. I replied to an early post. Please ignore!

At my old company The work often needed sharp knives about 4-6" long. Maybe buy kitchen knives which wore down (with excessive sharpening) in months. Or use lengths of broken or worn out industrial band saw blades. They used to buy £7 silverine IIRC machetes but then used the bandsaw blade hack...

Carry a bag containing copies of some related paperwork including the invite to collect the knife. Then stuff the knife into the deepest part of the bag, preferably a rucksack as then it is on your back fully strapped up and might not be so accessible which is another point. I did say I might...

I knew a registered nurse in surgery area. One of here roles was to lay out the surgery equipment and to count it all back afterwards. There were others qualified to do this too and they shared the role. In the end to cut costs the trust reduced the number with that rank / training /...

One point. Make sure you keep a copy of all paperwork and contact made over this matter. You never know when or if that might be needed by you. Do I sound paranoid? I might be but I might also be right to be!

Also, if they are making the habitat right for pine martins, then what are they making the habitat wrong for? What exists before "improvement" works might be right for more, less photogenic but even more significantly endangered fauna or flora. It is often said that campaigns to promote the...

If you know they are in your area apparently peanut butter (smooth is best) is like a drug for the martins, they can' resist it. AIUI there is a forest in Scotland that got into the habitat improvement and pinemartin introduction when I was a kid and they use peanut butter outside of an...

Here's hoping they don't hold a grudge for being made to do this!!;)

Economy 7 storage heaters in IIRC 2010 when the winter was the worst for some time. Despite shutting the vents down during the day and only open them up partially when I got home the heat was gone by 9pm every evening and on the coldest evenings / days they had run out of heat within an hour and...

I think my dad oncee told me about this old guy he worked with who drove to the farm at lunch, got out one of those ancient pottery containers, filled it up, drained it then drove back to work. They are not small containers for a lunch when it is your whole lunch!!

Not what I was trying to say. I was trying to explain that in among naturism activism, such as the naked rambler there are some iffy characters of which the NR was one of them. However he was going against society and confrontation of that kind IMHO is over the line a bit too far (add in...

Zyder? Zummerzet? that's where I were born but left at 3 before the zyder rotted my teeth!! At the time my Dad (from hampshire) worked with locals who took a liquid lunch at the nearest farm. There were a lot of farms to go at back then, not quite so many of late.

Smallish house, bungalow and well insulated. No draughts to or from the outdoors and an efficient heating system. When we turn the heating on it goes on for about 15 minutes then off again. The radiators are mostly cold during the evening because it does not need to fire up to keep warm, it...

I once knew a few police women, no idea why the walking group was popular with policewomen but not policement, but it was a friendly group and I got a few tales I can not repeat. One I can was a good friend and police officer told me about her friend and colleague's experience with the naked...

In a broadleaf paper (before they too went small) I once read about how naturism is popular and accepted in Germany. It was a long, hot summer and silly season so you can imagine the article in the paper. They gave an example of a trend for stripping off in their lunch break in a certain park in...

Yes, similar experience on the time I bought from them. There are a few shops around that exceeds expectations like that. There are more that don't. My advice to the OP and others is to support those shops that do this more than those that don't. Even if it works out a few quid more. Exception...

Classic speeding stop is "do you know what speed you were doing?". Apparently designed to trap you into admitting a motoring offence not just a speeding offence. They can then do you for two charges and it helps their statistics a bit more. I once got stopped, light was dull, the copper tried...

Depends. Family camping, usually in the camper, I strip off to my underwear and get into the bag. After everyone else has gone upstairs to bed of course so it is only the sleeping dog lying downstairs to see me change for bed. That dog is usually asleep by then anyway. When I used to do a bit...

Naturalists or naturists? Naturist naturalists visiting the museum surely part of a Venn diagram centre section. You have changed the focus of the thread there so not being a naturalist I feel I can no longer comment here. ;):):)

We had a new heating system put in about 12.5 months ago so we had the annual service and safety check to ensure the guarantee is still valid. Only a £100 and they fixed a few minor things like a leaking radiator under the 12 month installation guarantee. With getting the heating put in just...
