How many do you need? Our next room destruction is imminent and I discovered that the old wardrobes had these for holding glass shelves. There's 16 of them, probably not enough, but might be of use to you 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are currently only 4 so I was going to try 8 on that one shelf... None of the other shelves are broken so 100 is a bit excessive for us. Can you get them weighed to check postage won't be silly and send a me a PM please? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimST2 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Drove to work today behind two cars with illegally spaced number plates. Neither made any sense at all so what's the point?Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 4 figures shown was DR14 however the 4 was moved to the other side so showed DR1 4xxx. With the 4 moved you can see a name but honestly just shows how some people want their monies worth on a plate so others can understand its meaning easier. Just shows also even doctors have have a limited brain. One of my uncles did the same thing with his plate. Got stopped twice and recently he put the spacing correctly.

I thought the police had become a bit more lenient on this, haven't seen anyone locally moaning about getting pulled for plates at all recently, it used to happen regularly, illegal spacing, illegal font, etc. The latest one is tinted plates which do look cool at shows but are totally unreadable in moving traffic. There are loads of illegal ones around here now...some even in the Police Headquarters car park... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a dual carriageway near me where they've been on patrol and they have stopped a lot of cars in just a month. On one night they found a few people speeding down there the highest around 110mph and that's a 40mph road. Really happy they are doing something about this. One of their posts showed two cars they pulled over for street racing. One was a brand new 3 series and the other was the latest Mercedes s class. It baffles me how thick people get these sort of cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of police though, you've just reminded me, I nearly got stingered yesterday!! Not sure if it was a training exercise or if there was a criminal they were waiting to come down that road but I suddenly saw a load of hi vis jackets on both sides of the road... The Police car was hidden so couldn't see that but slowed down as I thought there may have been an accident or something... As I reached them I saw they were all police and with a car hidden in a farm cut, then watched them cross the road as soon as I passed, dragging a stinger behind them! 😮 Slightly worried they'd been told to look out for a 'Black Golf'...which are everywhere! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Y Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I do not like this heat at all. It's 38c outside right now where I am and inside my flat isn't much cooler. Coolest room is still showing a temperature of 32c. My flat is a sauna in summer but arctic in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk I normally put freezer blocks around the fan but they are doing JS right now. You're lucky it is a bit cooler where you are but you're right, the humidity is the biggest issue. I do hope your dogs are ok. I know heat is really bad for them, especially black ones.

Stoney871 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The dogs are doing ok today.It's their day off so are lolling around in the yard laying in the shade.I put a plastic paddling pool out for them and they love laying in the water resting their chins on the edge.Willow is retiring next month so is winding down on work load, she's gone nice and mellow so the transition has been painless.Jed is 2 years from retirement so is in his element and Treo is still quite young and willful but very focused at work, he's shaping into an excellent worker and a worthy successor to Willow's reputation.Willow in mellow mode.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Y Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 awww, that's so nice. I love dogs but do get a bit scared around bigger ones. I wish Willow all the best in her retirement and I hope your other 2 enjoy their time working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it worse is we are busy at the moment and been working longer hrs and no lunchbreaks( that was my choice as if I had stopped, I would have trouble wanting to work this afternoon.

Felt quite nice at 24c with a breeze earlier this morning though!

dtulip8 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It’s a much more bearable 21c here in Hampshire at the moment, so much nicer than yesterday when the cars display read 40c when I got in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Does actually feel to have cooled down now thankfully. Need to now diagnose the problem to why my AC stopped working. Might get a second hand compressor if its the clutch on mine which seized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had plenty of rain, thunder, lightning last night but still more to come the forecasters promise. I've found the car wilting a bit too. The plastic moulding below the screen (after all these years don't know the correct term for it 😀 but it incorporates the scuttle drain area, heater plenum etc) has been expanding so much in the heat the upper edge keeps popping out of it's position just below the bottom edge of the windscreen!
