I have received an email from Gateros Plating about an Anodising Workshop on the 18 October.

It is located in the Lincoln area (which I am totally unfamiliar with).

As Anodising seems to be a frequent subject on here I thought it might be of interest to some.

Here is a link to the information supplied:-

That should have upped the hit rate.

How the other half lives eh😉.

Can’t advise on Ultrasonics but when we had a dog manual toothbrushes were used which looked very similar to ones for humans but were more expensive being pet specials.

We also used beef flavoured toothpaste specifically for dogs which she loved so teeth cleaning time was (relatively) easy.

To quote a very old saying “never a borrower or a lender be”.

I made the mistake of being the second one and losing gear a few times never again (I don’t borrow things either).

Thank you 34046 and Michael. Interesting idea might help find parcels delivered to somewhere underneath my garden hedge!

What is this about please?

Another TVP video, actor again but based on true cases.

TVP Video 2

I have just done quick search for that shop and initial results seem to have little to do with engineering, Perhaps you should have put a link in?

Yes I remember your post was just seconds before mine and thought you must have typed faster than me.

I think they sold own branded lathes as well.

Thames Valley Police have put a video on YouTube (using actors but it was an actual case) about a Courier fraud, I have put a link to it here:-

might save somebody getting expensively caught out.

If you plan on using a trailer for taking stuff to a council Tip  Recycling Centre check if they have a size limit, our centre will only allow smallish trailers into the domestic type section. Council rules seem to vary from area to area as well.

Our neighbourhood watch fell apart some years ago and we now have a neighbourhood alert system from the police, this system informs (those signed up) by email about crooked activity and issues in the area.

We were recommended the Ring doorbell system also a request that if we have any cctv to register it with them so the police know who to contact if footage is needed.

I did neither of the above but would offer cctv footage on a voluntary basis if something happened to warrant that, although it only covers our house and garden.

We are being watched all over the place, in shops, on the street, on the roads & pavements, incredibly there is even a camera (with warning notice) in the gents toilet in one of the nearby town shopping precincts.

It was recently reported that somebody was stopped by the police apparently because he covered his face when walking past one of their new facial recognition camera systems then refused to uncover it.

The same system that is used to track a suspected criminals movements can so easily be used to track anyone’s movement for who knows whatever supposed reason?

Our shopping habits are tracked by giving us loyalty cards with the carrot of rewards dangled to sign us up.

Our politicians passed laws enabling organisations to spy on our communications.

Welcome to today’s brave new free world.

Best wishes for a safe and satisfactory outcome for all concerned.

Must have been even trickier getting it to the car on that bike.

Seriously though it looks a nice machine.
