I also thought it had an underlying huge pension deficit but that seems to be old news and now sorted out more or less

Interesting. Do you work there? [i don’t] They were looking to sell 25% last year. I thought it needs only the representative council of the partners not every single partner in an open, but agree even that would be hard to get - maybe for a list of reserved matters it would need a full vote, I’ve not looked at the partnership agreement.

It was idealistic when set up, but it has had several bad years, isn’t paying out profit shares (three years running, which makes 3 of 7 since the 1950s i just read) and I was told it didn’t take external investment last year because it couldn’t find an investor.

I suppose it may have found one and then there partner council rejected the investment anyway!

Muji?

I’ve been told JLP’s “partner” model is only really the case because it has a huge pension deficit and so no one can afford to buy it. Not really as idealistic as I first thought.

And for the record I am appalled by the whole Rwanda plan. I just hope it never makes it into existence.

How is this debate best framed?

The anti-immigration lot make arguments [coming round ‘ere, stealin are benefits and are jobs etc] that the pro freedom of movement/ liberal/ caring people/ left/ me don’t address in a way that gets through. IE they have concerns, and telling them their concerns are wrong [even though they often are] obviously doesn’t work. I don’t think pointing out the climate change issues / need to help the poorest people in the world is likely to work as an argument.

Maybe more successful would be something like:

• We need people to come and do jobs here because we’re aging [ie we need immigration]
  
• We understand that “British values*” are important to you [reform voters & chums]
  
• We believe that multiculturalism within a framework of British values will give us a sustainable future as a nation, ie “let in” the people we need, but make efforts to help them fit in.
  
• We have a [insert details] plan to ensure this.
  
  

And then what the plan actually involves I don’t know - there must be some lessons we could learn globally on how to integrate people better.

Problem is, as you say, the whole space around immigration is toxic, and has been hijacked by xenophobes and racists, so it is hard to think about it without fearing back lash one way or another.

*unclear what this means but humour them

NOS too, nice. They’ll last another 90 years!

Or probably a Campagnolo or huret band on shifter clamp could be butchered, and might be £10, bur you’d have to ask eBay sellers to measure up, or go to a bike jumble.

Could something meant for handlebars be reamed out to fit? I’d call SJS and talk to them as they know what products exist, but eg this? £££ though:

Sorry. I misread 26.8 as 28.6!

(I searched “Band on cable stop”)

Would this work?

Critique my build pls

Thank you. I wonder why he says it won’t work.

I think the combination of these might….

1) normal 1 1/4” click clack or plug waste eg

2) 1 1/4” to 35mm brass and copper p trap

3) 35mm copper pipe to the wall eg

4) this converter (possibly left chrome possible sprayed copper)

5) recessed into the wall, normal diameter (32?) plastic solvent weld pipe eg

Plumbing is nearly as fun as bicycles for standards

Yes exactly. They’re all 35mm

I’ve never managed to reply to my own messages. It seems the issue of waste pipes is diameter. Specifically finding something in 32mm apparently. I need to read up more but if anyone can suggest where specifically to read I’d be v grateful! It seems confusing to me that the standard for waste pipes and the standard for traps/sink wastes are different… according to my plumber

Original:

I have an unexpectedly urgent rush to do a downstairs loo :/ help!

1) high level toilets - is there any substantive difference between Burlington (£434 ex seat), Canterbury (£329), Hudson Reed (£271), Windows (£339), etc. I’m inclined towards Burlington because I know they’re good, and maybe not worth saving £100 on.

2) copper basin wastes. I have an old fashioned janitor’s sink - like this
but bronze not chrome. The plumber says drain pipes are normally UPVC, but is there any disadvantage to buying a (wildly overpriced) copper p trap and having copper pipe showing until it disappears into boxing?

Thank you!

Looks great!

Thank you!

And what year is it? I had a 1986 1.3 that I LOVED

I think you can track the case in find my iphone

That will be fun! I think the women’s game might be slightly more inclusive

If you can stand a day between showers try britstops.com. Free overnight parking in mainly pubs and farm shops for campervan, on the assumption you’ll probably (but are not obligated to) buy dinner or something from them.

😍😍😍

Also, that’s like mine! Which I am very pleased with, thank you!

Tape cord to hose?

Hey @Polygon, did @skullandbiscuits buy this? If not, can I? I decided I didn’t need it but have since decided it would be very convenient to have a few bikes not in my house 😊

I could collect, not the first time I’ve carried an Asgard in/on my car….!

No worries if not
