    My local B&Q is raising its prices through the roof for things like tap headgears (You tell me another place that sells them?), they used to be £1.98 each and were fantastic spares to have but now they are £3.99 each and they only have one or two. :(

    I did get some very long, very beefy, full bore 22mmx x3/4" BSP flexis though for £2 a pop in the clearance bin.

    They'll come in very handy for something.
     
  7. Being a bigoted dick, who welcomed people to the forum with a mixture of derision and racist/sexist/cc-ist comments!

    Something for which he has finally got banned - horray!

    And i think you will find that I coined the term Time Served Dinosaur if you cast your mind back . . .

    Having said all of that, Diyers can be real pains in the ***.

    Although what am I saying - if you do DIY please continue. If it wasn't for all your hash ups, I would not have any work . . .

    I KNEW you would come back withg that, but as my opld friend Webster says:

    Scotch \Scotch\, n.
    A chock, wedge, prop, or other support, to prevent slipping;
    as, a scotch for a wheel or a log on inclined ground.
    [1913 Webster]

    Scotch \Scotch\, n.
    1. The dialect or dialects of English spoken by the people of
    Scotland.
    [1913 Webster]

    2. Collectively, the people of Scotland.
    [1913 Webster]

    You need a new Dictionary!

    From Oxford Online Dictionary:

    The terms Scottish, Scot, Scots, and Scotch are all variants of the same word. They have had different histories, however, and in modern English they have developed different uses and connotations.

    The normal everyday word used to mean ‘of or relating to Scotland or its people’ is Scottish, as in Scottish people; Scottish hills; Scottish Gaelic; or she‘s English, not Scottish.

    The normal, neutral word for ’a person from Scotland‘ is Scot, along with Scotsman, Scotswoman, and the plural form the Scots (or, less commonly, the Scottish).

    The word Scotch, meaning either ’of or relating to Scotland‘ or ’a person/the people from Scotland‘, was widely used in the past by Scottish writers such as Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. It is now less common, being disliked by many Scottish people (as being an ’English‘ invention) and now regarded as old-fashioned in most contexts. It survives in certain fixed phrases, as for example Scotch broth, Scotch mist, and Scotch whisky.

    Scots is used, like Scottish, as an adjective meaning ’relating to Scotland'. However, it tends to be used in a narrower sense to refer specifically to the form of English spoken and used in Scotland, as in a Scots accent or the Scots word for ‘night’.


    I'm English, so no axe to grind.
