What we have going forwards now is probably the new normal I think that is the most likely scenario. Maybe a combined flu/covid jab might turn out to be the norm, when everything settles down? At 76 y.o I wish ! but unfortunately that combination would involve two sets of guesswork. With the 'flu virus ( another coronavirus ) the virologists already have to make an educated guess each year as to which mutations the coming winter's 'flu virus vaccine should address, most years their guess is well-targeted, other years not so much so. |

Mine, sold in 1978 before buzzing off to Saudi Arabia for 7yrs with nowhere to store it, was reliable except for a replacement fuel pump. The bonnet developed a crack, extending through the semi-circular reinforcing tube which I repaired (bodged) by enlarging the crack, whittling a flat on a length of broom-handle, inserting the broom-handle all the way into one part anointed with Brentford's best f/glass resin and finagling the part back into the other side of the crack and levelling the repair with f/glass resin. |

It would be interesting to know what % of the goods that ARC sell into the EU is actually made in the Uk. Probably none, but then how many products are actually manufactured in the UK, built with UK tools and machines and by British people? I really doubt there's any piece of electronics, tooling or clothing in the planet which is not made entirely or partly in China. My perusal and use of JB CuttingTools website shows many ( I haven't checked every one ) cutting tools as being made in Sheffield and displaying the Union flag.

Sadly had to part with my ancient hound last month and worry now about getting a new one that might outlast me. On the lookout or a suitable secondhand dog. I don't have the same access to spare pets now I've retired.... pgk Many rescue/adoption organisations have great difficulty finding new 'owners' for senior dogs. Could fit your circumstances and be a two-way benefit. |
