Thank you.. It gets worse........... I bought it from a dealer in Harrogate
Harrogate used to be posh
)and went for a blat, works well, quite impressed
So did Barking where I came from.. a good many stars of the silver screen bought houses there inc Diana Doors
it aint now !!!
Not many places left now, my eldest brother lives in Moortown in Leeds, his neighbours are Doctors & Solicitors etc, top of the road is now full of scrotes.
When I was busking on the underground I taught my dog to play the trumpet.
He went from Barking to Tooting in forty minutes.
Go back to bed!!!
Still in bed!
Read the mains water pressure.
imwas expecting it to be low but slap bang in the middle of the recommended range at 4.5 bar.
no idea why the dishwasher and washing machine are occasionally failing to come on overnight (both indicating low water pressure) and the valve in the cold water tank is hammering.

I was always told 3.2 bar is the maximum recommended pressure
Sorry meant 1.2 bar
Met up with a couple of mates and had a ride to Southport.
Went to the garage today to fit the new vacuum tubes controlling the auto choke on one of the race peds.. It was to be the last job on them before the Bash
They are all ratty and tatty but now all run nicely
Then I noticed one had a totally flat tyre.... and its tubeless
Type had come tight off the rim so I knew it would be fun to reseat
Got a ratchet strap around it and tried to get it to spread..... After several tries I gave up and decided to take the wheel off to get better access
Soooo.. that is exhaust off as the wheel is tight behind it !
Got the exhaust off, followed by the wheel
Wider ratchet strap and heaved
Nope
Tightened strap further and spent 10 minutes bouncing the wheel to get the bead to seat
Nope
Jumped on the bike and took the wheel to a friend who runs a garage
He has a type seater ( basically an air tank you pressurise attach to the valve stem and then release a LARGE quick action tap that shoots about 100 litres of air out in one go
Set it all up, threw the valve... nadda !!!!
To cut a long story short it took him, another friend who runs an MOT place next door and myself an hour to get it inflated !!!!!!
Then to rub salt in the wound could not find a bloody leak
Decided to let it down again and fit a new valve stem just in case
It was then we discovered a split inside the rim on the stem of the valve
So new valve fitted, another 30 minute fight to re-inflate the darned thing and it was job done
Back home, put the ped back together and all is well ( for now ! )

Did my first home Covid-19 test.
Golf.
Measured up what timber I will need to build a new corner unit for the tv which will hide the A\V stuff behind the tv which will appear to float in mid air.
Put the heating on.
