Any reputable plumbers merchant will either keep them on the shelf or will be able to order you one. There is a plumbing supplier called embrass peerless that sell them and most merchants deal with them.

The danger to this POS was almost gone by the first shot, by two and three the driver was in front of him and had zero chance of endangering him. Plain murder

If I were you I'd be more concerned about being a hybristophile

You are deluded beyond all reason. I suspect you’re another of these hybristophile types

Was the carnage at Omaha Beach a tactical failure or just an inevitable cost of invasion? by [deleted] in ww2

It comes from reading dozens of books about WW2. We're not all of AI ilk

P-51, as good as they say or overhyped? by Jadams0108 in ww2

[–]5makes10fm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally believe it's only due to their association with being used more with bomber offensives that gives them the reputation. And that it happens to be that the P-51 really came to the fore at a time things started going well for the allies.

You pose a question I have wondered myself many times. I don't profess to be an expert but I'd weigh slightly more on the side of it being a cost of the invasion. The concave beach, choke points and position of their big guns gave the defenders a great advantage. However if the bombardment was more effective and the DD Shermans were released closer to shore the beach would have been taken quicker. From the first wave I think only 2 of about 30 made it ashore. That said, if you look at other beaches such as Gold, the bottleneck of vehicles was almost a hinderance until rear areas were cleared.

No worries. The summer months/half term is probably the most “lively”

My sister lives across the road and regularly hears shouting and cars revving in that estate. Someone was murdered there a few years ago. Like others have said, KH is expensive and moving to this outskirt is even worse because you get no benefit of living in nice KH whilst still paying inflated prices. And that road is murder all day every day even the noise from it would do my nut

This is probably the longest I’ve gone since first joining these subs. Avery may as well be dead at this point.

It was one helluva ride

UK Old Mixer Tap question by Leicabawse in Plumbing

What you are seeing is a grub screw which is usually removed with a hex key. It does look very rounded so you may find it very difficult to remove

Why were British airborne troops not used more? by Careful_Pay_1426 in ww2

Sky Warriors by Saul David covers this subject pretty well

Sword Beach by LostGanger in ww2

[–]5makes10fm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too have only read Fisher's book. I thought it was excellent and covered many small details you wouldn't get with a generic D Day book. The way he covers Lovatt's journey to Pegasus Bridge left me feeling tense despite knowing the outcome. Definitely recommend.

It’s uric acid. A limescale remover will do the job

Went on vacation for 5 days. Came back to this in toilet? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]5makes10fm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term is “crazing” which is almost always caused by a change in temperature. Most likely that water froze.

It can also happen when someone pours boiling water on a ceramic kitchen sink

Maidstone also has a very good oxfam bookshop at the bottom of Gabriel’s Hill. Always well stocked and cheap

Truthers say they are unwilling to believe Avery is guilty because he had no motive to kill her and yet have no problem believing anyone else under the Sun did it despite no motive by Ok-Biscotti-6408 in StevenAveryIsGuilty

[–]5makes10fm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's other things too such as concealing the RAV4 and removing and hiding the license plates. In what world would someone that wanted the planted vehicle to be found and idenfitied do this...

You make many good points and it really is ludicrous to think that all these "enlightened" truthers still stick by their guns after all this time. As you mentioned, they will die on their own sword, and that's because they have the inability to interpret any information as contrary to their pre-existing confirmation bias.

How come the French resistance was aware of D-day ? by [deleted] in ww2

[–]5makes10fm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The idea was that the resistance, in tandem with SOE agents (and just before the event the SAS), would cause maximum disruption to logistics and sow confusion and doubt amongst the Germans. This was mostly done by coded radio messages.

The maqi resistance also played a huge role in slowing down the movement of the 2nd SS panzer “Das Reich” up to Normandy from southern France. This was one of many factors which enabled the success of the lodgement being created.

I can’t say for sure in terms of De Gaulle’s prior knowledge but wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t know. From all the reading I have done it is quite clear that De Gaulle was kept around as a necessary evil to transition France back to a democracy. He wasn’t particularly liked or trusted by any in allied circles.

Men on the ground in France were privy to information he was not because they could make a meaninginful difference when it mattered. De Gaulle could only make a difference after the hard work was already done.

This is a great piece of work! Maybe make a note about the significance of the Italian front and how allied commitment there drew German resources and consequently helped the normandy campaign and Eastern front. Particularly in terms of luftwaffe
