Not disputing it's not free for all, the NHS do pay a portion of the fees (15% IIRC) but it is still free for anyone on low income benefits, under 18s (and 19s and 20s in special cases) Under 18s are about 20% of the population, benefits, dunno, say 20% again, chucking in preggers people and...

Mouthwash is like handsanitizer/disinfectant spray, yes it may kill on a wide spectrum but the bad stuff does you more harm than the good stuff does you good so net/net it's worth it. I don't use mouthwash very often and tbh I can't really see the point in it due to the low fluoride...

Corso, are you serious? I am genuinely asking.

I understand (but Janne can verify) that fluoride mouthwash contains much less ppm of fluoride than toothpaste so don't wash all that toothpaste loveliness away with a mouthwash after brushing.

me too!

if you are doing long highpeed journeys (55mph+) then the diesel is the way to go. If you are pottering around town, the occasional 40mph journey then hybrid should win. I just like the shape of the car and equipemnt :D

The fuel consumption of hybrids is notoriously overstated, I know cos I have one. Also very much depends on your driving style and journey. For most they basically allow you a big car (mine is 2.5L petrol) but cheap 'road tax' and lower fuel bills. A 2.5l petrol should get what 30mpg, I get...

No problem Tony, had it on another forum and forgot to paste it over here. It was a shade under 50quid.

Hi all, Just a quick review of the Armytek Tiara C1 USB XP-L headtorch I picked up a couple of days ago. Note that this is the warm version which I prefer for use outdoors. I owe it to the forum for the helpful input in selecting a new headtorch. I'm not going to go into all the technical...

Never owned one but they get a decent rep. Chinese company, quality is pretty good. They seem to keep up with the technology for LEDs, USB charging, batteries etc. I replaced my headtorch with an armytek recently, never went for the olight H1R as there was not much to differentiate from the...

Thanks all for the responses, time to go do some more research!

Hi All, Heading off to Normandy for a wee holiday and looking for some 'must sees' to well... see. Interested in the D-Day history stuff but as we will have our other halves with us we are going to hit up Bayeux and Mont Saint-Michel too. Best D-Day places and museums to visit? Good...

Thanks for the response VW, much appreciated

We have a saying up here, "Old age doesn't come alone!" Probably universal. I've just passed 50 and like you wake up stiff and uncomfortable most mornings so I tend to get up and do some light exercise (a little taichi) to get moving. I don't go back to bed though and we used to regularly...

Mrs Chainsaw is a dentist, her favourite thing also... weirdos ;) Makes our dinner conversations interesting and needless to say the 'little chainsaws' have very little issues with this kind of stuff, too used to it.

You are only paranoid if they are not out to get you....

Not everyone who is bitten develops a rash Not everyone who is adversely affected develops a rash. It is safe to say that anyone who is bitten and develops a rash is at risk of developing the disease which is what they are trying to cover here. Not everyone gets the flu like symptoms before...

I doubt and RAC check would have missed that! The 3 blind mice would have caught it. Be interested to ask to see the RAC inspection cert, maybe use it a leverage for a new tyre or two...?

Think he was struggling with that too, was talking about up to 75 knives a month... Nice problem to have if you are a maker I guess but it must destroy you if you feel like you are literally nose to the grindstone. Maybe if he gets back into it as a hobby, something he wants to do it'll ramp up...

I see that there is a facebook group for blackfeather and the fella is more active there. He has had some tough times in his personal life and it sounds like his partner messed around with the business side of things which has caused a lot of issues re orders etc. He hints that he's getting...
