The gym on Broadfield Road just along from the dairy was called Peak Physique. About 1993.

I can't say I like wasps but don't hurt them either, they eat an awful lot of other pests so I won't have a wasp trap in the garden.

I'm wary of most 'wildlife' and generally give it a wide berth. Why would I chance being bitten or stung by something that I could be allergic too. I move spiders, bees,wasps, etc. outside. If you think that spiders in the UK aren't dangerous take a look here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24636116

Tandy in the hole in the road. Spent hours in there.

Habitat on the moor. Lew Burgins Castle Market. Hobbies at Shalesmoor. The hobby shop on London Road. A strange shop on London Road just down from the hobby shop called 'Chatterbox', never went in but stood out. Jeanery No1 on Fargate?

Don't take this the wrong way but whatever the manufacturer recommends. If you go to Miller Oils site it has a lookup feature. There's more to picking oil than just viscosity. For example - cars with DPFs and such need low ash oils or the DPF blocks more quickly than it should.

To do the job correctly takes some time. A simple inspection first for obvious signs of damage. Vacuum out and capture any remaining gas. Put system under deep vacuum for 30 minutes to 'boil' off moisture and check for leaks. If this is OK then pressurise system with dry Nitrogen gas to check for leaks under pressure, UV dye can be added at this stage to help find leaks. If it passes this then remove pressure, replace drying unit, apply deep vacuum again then charge with recommended amount of correct oil and weight of refrigerant. Simples.... As noted by another poster you should run the A/C every week at least, if you don't the seals dry up and shrink allowing the refrigerant to leak out. Even a tip top system loses so many percent of it's charge every year. A professional company when servicing an A/C system will weigh the amount of refrigerant that is vacuumed and captured to check that the system isn't losing refrigerant faster than it should. A/C systems are charged by weight not pressure.

Is that the dept head that also works elsewhere for half the week?

I was there from 80 to 85. Mrs Pickering was my form tutor - very Farah Fawcett. Rocker Reddish for RE. Mr Ibbotson for Geography then Mrs Priest then Trog Borman Steve Fowler for maths then Miss Thorpe then Steve Fowler again. Miss Dent for general science. Miss Samuels for Chemistry. Mr Kinsey for Physics - smoke stained glasses but seemed a nice bloke. Mr Hurst for metalwork then Mr Dobson then Hurst again. Psyco Parnham for Design Technology - sometimes violent. Mr Bains for swimming. Rick Wakefield for games. Jan Stokes for games and staring at boys in the showers... Mr Holmes (Honeymonster) for Europian Language Studies. Miss Clarke for French. Mr Marshall for woodwork - hateful bloke. Uncle Remus for Woodwork. Smiler Dixon as Headmaster. Dave Dawson for Drama. Mr Sanderson for music.

Some scanners have a document feeder and automatically scan to PDF. I've only seen/used one, it's an agfa product I think.

Usually in the BIOS or in Windows.

Thanks very much. It takes me back to the 70s when I was just a nipper, the six weeks holidays seemed so long and the sun shined in summer (that could be imagination).

I like Wheeler Dealers but the recent switch to more expensive out of reach cars (well for me anyway) just mirrors the rest of the 'car' programmes on TV these days. I hate Top Gear et al, it just seems like a ego trip for the presenters. Still I suppose such programmes are classed as entertainment not factual.

Emergency service perhaps.

We used to have British Relay years ago, I ended up working with Mick West for a short while and installed an analog Sky system for Pecky. I heard a story once about Pecky and a stick on blue flashing light...

My father worked at Eschmanns. I can't ask him though, he's long gone. The name Wragg rings a bell.

That corridor still looks the same!

Takes me right back to the early 90s when that bailey bridge was setup. Buses, cars and lorries sat outside waiting to cross from around 5am revving their engines, blaring out their music, etc. Moved into the back bedroom in the end to get some piece and quiet. The amount of dust/soot in the front rooms was incredible. Still happy days in other ways.

Looking at the CCTV it looks like traffic is flowing again.

rbrt, do you remember Lee Allen?

Does Mick Lunt have a daughter called Cathy?

Traction Avant - Big Six NSU Ro80. Citroen SM.

Maybe the van driver can wait for his turn in the box. They should relax or it'll happen sooner than they expect.

Someone with a Citroen Lexia or Peugeot Planet diagnostic tool could help with this. There's a few possibilities - DPF blocked, out of ELOYS fluid or sensor fault. Too many short journeys create enough particulates to block the filter that don't get burned off until the vehicle is taken on a sustaned high speed run. A dealer would use a Lexia/Planet to read the codes and assuming it's just a blocked filter force a regeneration cycle. Some owners have taken to drilling out the DPF's innards and having the vehicles ECU programmed with a modified file that doesn't have DPF instructions thereby ensuring that the engine management thinks everything's fine and the car doesn't go into LOS (limp mode). Hope that helps. Steve.

Be aware that fitting a stove/open fire comes under building control regs and will need to be certified if you want to be above board. In certain areas multifuel stoves have to meet emission requirements too. As far as I can remember you can fit up to a 5kW stove before you are required to fit a fresh air vent. There's plenty of info on the Internet but it took some sifting through when I was looking into it.
