The Pub / Re: A random thread for small things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

Given that my take home pay as a newly minted 1st year apprentice, ie not qualified in anyyway at all, in 1978 was £31 week (so roughly £125pm) it’s hardly surprising that teachers have complained about being badly paid.

OT Knowledge / Re: Mixer Tap regulations

« Last post by AuldThumper on Today at 12:02:33 am »

I don't know that wras regs ever said you cannot mix hot and cold in a tap body - otherwise all telephone handset bath/shower taps would have been non compliant

What they do say is thou shalt not feed dead pigeon gazpacho from thy loft tank into the mains water system if we turn it off

In t'olden days the bath tap was generally fed from the loft cold tank assuring it couldn't back feed but kitchen taps often used mains cold and gravity hot. The easiest approach to guarantee compliance was the two tube non mixing approach

In your case cold coming out of a disassembled mixer tap is no indicator of non compliance. Even if correctly fitted with non return valves in accordance with regs this would still happen. Water will always find the easiest way to release it's pressure so if there's a dirty great hole in the tap body it will come out of there

The Sporting Life / Re: Southend Football

A possible, if unlikely, set of results tomorrow could see Southend into a playoff place. They need to beat Rochdale and hope that Halifax and Aldershot both lose. Southend is the only one of those teams playing at home.

Audax / Re: Steady lights on on calendar events - resolution for AUK AGM

« Last post by MikeFromLFE on Yesterday at 09:49:12 pm »

Does this matter in the real world? .

As a car driver as well I do not think the flashing lights help cyclists. Two good rear lights on steady is good and front flashing lights tend to cause confusion.
 

As a car driver I'd say that you are correct in rural situations.
On busy urban roads I find cyclists with flashing lights more noticeable - particularly front flashing lights.

(Although it's outside the scope of this thread I find head mounted lights extremely confusing as a driver - the sometimes rapid high level movements make locating the source almost impossible)

Audax / Re: The North Coast Classic 600

In general the direct trains from Perth - Edinburgh aren't particularly fast. 

It often only takes marginally longer to go Perth - Edinburgh changing at Dunblane or Stirling. 

Maybe an option to keep up your sleeve after a 600. 

In fact if the Line from Perth - Edinburgh via Ladybank is closed maybe your train from Inverness will continue south of Perth to at least Stirling (from memory not many trains from north of Perth terminate there).

Watch a few Lockpicking Lawyer videos & buy some picks ?

If it is a Kryptonite disc lock you might need the tool that he and Bosnian Bill made.
