Works for me, I'm quite enjoying working from home. We're not social people, don't go to the pub and don't really visit many people, we homeschool anyways so apart from having to stay in the house a bit more it's life as normal

Or we clear out 99%, the virus mutates, reinfects again and the cycle repeats

Any lasting side effects yet Mike?

Might it be to do with quality assurance? For the medical might they need to be proven to be stored in a certain way, for example to meet audit requirements. Some of it might also be down to the suppliers, we can skf, fag and timken bearings with around 70% discount from retail because we deal direct, go through another stockist and we're paying additional markup.

We're manning the office one man a day on a rota (today is my day) to keep phone calls and stuff sorted, the factory is still fully open for anyone under 60 (the old f**kers got sent home last monday) and we've been designated as key workers for both severn trent water and thames water so unlikely to close down completely. Everyone else is remote working so things are still going ahead, just a little slower. On site installation work is petering out though, I was supposed to be surveying for thames tomorrow, that has been cancelled, a grit plant was supposed to be installed at Hull next week, again cancelled. Hotels closing causes a massive headache for the site installation teams as they would have to commute to site every morning which would be upwards of three hours each way traffic notwithstanding.

Thankfully we finally locked down! Stay safe people

Scotchland or wherever he parks the campervan I think

@Ali C can she not apply for one of the interest free government business loans to tide her over during the quiet period?

Interest rate down to 0.1%! My miniscule tracker mortgages just got even smaller Not that it will make a massive difference to us but it's a handy bonus.

Yup, all the water authorities are still working on site and demanding their new equipment to be installed! You're largely lone working aren't you as a jetter driver?

Who are you, you new around here?

Mrs wife has had it on her radar for the last three months and has surreptitiously stockpiled all the stuff we need already since the beginning on the year, freezers are full, pasta and rice buckets are full and we're stocked with instant noodles should shit come to bust Potatoes and carrots are going to be planted in the garden shortly, sourdough cultures will be developed for bread making (mainly because our yeast is expired and it's hard to find right now) so should be largely set. Nappies are all reuseable and we also use washable nappy wipe cloths so we can even use those in place of toilet roll. I'm still working in the office but anyone over 60 has been sent home (about 50% of the office staff) but I've set them all up with RDP access so should be able to work from home. Also managed to get the solidworks vaults working nicely over the vpn so the cad workstations can always be taken home to be used (SW doesn't play nice with RDP), infact one of the draughtsman is in isolation right now because he's over 60, compromised imune system and his son has picked it up - I delivered his computer to his drive this afternoon! We homeschool 75% of the kids and adding another one to the list isn't too much hassle so we're very fortunate that I can work (from the office, home and with full sick pay for the duration) and we're not going to incur any additional costs. The uncertainty is a bit of an arse but we're about as sorted as we could be so just got to wait it out and hope we don't lose too many on the way through.

Homeschooling is f**king wonderful when the shit hits the fan like now!

Best get building then It's possible that it's just corrugated cement sheeting, most of the time asbestos was added for reinforcing though, either way I wouldn't risk breaking it if I can avoid it Still can't offer any usefull insight into your original query

Is the concrete rotten and porous or is it leaking through joints? If the concrete is sound then why not seal the joints with a decent poluyrethane or MS polymer mastic? Can't help on the rest, I design sewage treatment equipment not lay bricks Watch the roof, if it's corrugated and growing moss then it's asbestos, don't disturb it at all!

Still riding my small 26" intense 5.5, it's wheelbase is about the same as my trials bike (1080ish), reach is 330mm so according to manufacturers it's unrideable. Compare it to things like the geometron with 1370 wheelbase and 520 reach it's tiny, but then I'm only 5'7"ish and prefer short bikes. I have slackened it out a little by overforking and offset rear bushings so the head angle has dropped from 70° down to 65.5°, I dare say that it's not as planted as the latest greatest enduro bikes but it does me just fine. If you don't mind sticking with 26" and potentially having to hunt a little harder for tyres/rims then there are some bargains to be had as no one wants to buy them

Adam, entered under the name of the pedaling tarts? Or is that another team of coincidental naming? You going solo or roped in some extras?

Oh ffs, I thought I might be onto a winner with that one! Hen's teeth it will have to be

Done! You may now worship me, I shall accept sacrifices in the form of nottinghamshire virgins You have some of those right? ......

The obvious answer is to burn it out with the hottest chillies available and video it

Think the top lap speeds at curby were around 25ish mph, could be wrong. Our fastest lap speed was 15mph

Watch one of your local rounds of the bpcc, the speed they reach is petrifying

Just think of the millions of people that they owe money to, meanwhile all that pot of cash is sat in a bank account earning interest for them. Bulb are the first supplier I've used in the 18 years of owning my house that have actively reduced the bill without prompting

Another bulb account here, dropped our bills consistently over the last 2 years despite having a 5kw gas burner for our only cooking heat source and a minimum of 3 people in the house at any one time. Was paying 135 a month with Scottish power (who had been consistently cheaper and had no issues with reclaiming credit back) and now paying 96 a month edit: if you're looking to switch I also have a referral code somewhere, but precipitationavian got there first. Didn't you use my referral Luke, or was that someone else?

I'll laugh if you've just welded a crack in there
