I'll have you know I put a clean pair on every day. Trousers get a bit tight by the end of the week, I have to remove a few pairs. Pete

The cabinet was called a fount, pronounced font. If you dropped your fount, it was said to be pied. When you'd picked it all up you had to sort all the type pieces into their correct compartments in the fount. Because the type pieces are a mirror image of the character they print, it's particularly difficult to sort lower case b from d, or p from q. Hence the expression "to mind your p's and q's". I don't know why we don't mind our b's and d's. Pete (a craft printer in the 1960s)

Brilliant! Pete

After some Googling, I'll withdraw that. The criteria are the same. Pete

In Scotland, where the criteria for testing are different. Pete

That reminds me of a very old and slightly racist joke! Pete

Surely the problem is not just the space though, it's the furniture, staff, and other resources. Pete

Put it back together and keep checking the oil? Pete

Or perhaps they did take note, and were keen to not infringe any registered design or trademark. Pete

Happy Birthday! Pete

I had powder coated wire wheels on my car for about 10k miles with no sign of the coating failing. The MWS wheels from TR Shop have chromed stainless steel spokes, and I believe the rims are stainless too. Pete

I use "Muc-Off", sold for cleaning bikes but works well on wires. Pete

I was looking at that, but it's the first hour of opening, i.e. 7 am to 8 am, and I wonder how many of the elderly rely on buses and will be unable to get to a Sainsbury's that early. Pete

I had something similar, which went away when I tightened the propshaft bolts! Pete

Looks as if Drive it Day is still on, so we can "wave at each other from a discreet distance". https://www.fbhvc.co.uk/news/article/driveitday2020?fbclid=IwAR3TMi-gyD7kZodH3aiMu11_C4ZI7MueLZQTwaefzpX3h62VUHnSfExYWZ8
