There was absolutely no intention of ridiculing Frances, my suggestion was for the OP to converse with John Smith, and it is reasonably obvious the OP and John Smith are one and the same hence my comments about talking to oneself!

The Euro cylinder deadbolts in the link do not have a British Standard Kite Mark on the face. There is no information as to them being bump, pick, drill or snap resistant. I would look for something that at least had these features and was prepared to state that to be the case. Martin C Ah, sorry, I was just attempting to show the style of lock rather than the actual one that was on my stepmother's house. David |

This might work for you Ian. My mother in law had them fitted to front and rear doors. It allows the door to be locked on the inside but still opened with a key from a key safe. David |
Thread: Plasma |

Thank you John, I'm a little, but only a little, nearer understanding. David |

Many thanks for the replies I can imagine that the gas that is being used to form the plasma ( if that's what it is ) in a fluorescent tube is the gas that it is filled with but what about the plasma in a plasma cutter? Is that the surrounding air? If it doesn't show, I'm at the limits of my knowledge here David

Rather than hijack the thread that started me wondering, I am starting a new one. When we talk about the other three states of matter, we can state what they are made from i.e. water, stone, air etc. Can we do the same with plasma? Just wondering David |
