  4. Devon furniture was actually made from Shredded Wheat. Never fill your van with hot milk.

  5. sorry your wrong.....no shredded wheat, the bits that fall off are too small so can only be wheatabix, on the plus side no room left for milk when the rum, whisky and wine are in.....

    The trick is to paint Weetabix with epoxy resin which soaks in and converts it to something with attitude rather than something you can file to shape with a fingertip.

    And the other day I had sort of the opposite of a breakdown when the throttle jammed about half open..

    The choke linkage wire popped out and swung under the throttle end stop screw.
    Had to drive along blipping the ignition on and off and kangarooing along ..
    until I could get to a quieter bit of road and stop to reconnect it.

    I fixed it by using some of my champagne cork wire to replace a tiny pin that had fallen out.

    I MUST FINISH MY FI PROJECT..
     
  11. In retrospect I should have tidied the kitchen a bit first before taking that shot.

  13. Your domestics are obviously uncomfortable with you lingering in the Kitchen area otherwise you'd know the toaster was a Dualit not a Duralite. :hattip:
     
  14. You're right! Normally the staff only go in the kitchen - I've no idea what they do in there, working class things I assume.

    Dualit are fine pieces of British engineering (assuming they're not made in China these days). I've been eyeing up an ivory one in John Lewis...
     
  15. The Memsahib is muttering about our current unit, brand X (her choice) one more grumble and careful use of a screwdriver will ensure its trip to the scrap heap.
    I would add that things here are a little more"liberal" and provide I cough loudly before entering the portals of below stairs there is little fuss made.

    We've got one of them Dualit toaster things, to be honest I think it's carp at making toast
     
  17. Mines ace. You can get new elements for them if they are getting weak or irregular
     
  18. Go for it...you're spoilt for choice..

    <edit> Don't go for the chrome one. If it sits anywhere near cooking, it ends up looking like your bus crankcase. I've actually scrubbed ours with Autosol, I'm that sad. We now have a shiny toaster, but the toast tastes vaguely of chrome cleaner :confused:...

  19. Today I played with my new twin 40 hpmx carbs. My balancer arrived on Thursday so today was the day. I followed the online video from empi and guess what.





    It now runs great and is not at all flatulent. No popping and farting.
    The funny squeak it made at idle that embarrassed me driving through Lakeland villages last week has gone and it picks up far better than it did before.

  20. Took a full vans worth of crap to the tip, managed to bottom the exhaust out on the bloody speed humps there.

    Still a nice trip out with some greats looks of people. :)
