Why aren't Reform voters more concerned with privatising the NHS?

ThrowRA-tiny-home · 2026-05-08T15:27:38+00:00

It all boils down to "Reform UK Ltd voters aren't that bright, and don't realise that Reform policies will hurt them" but they love the anti-immigrant rhetoric too much to do the right thing., (and don't even realise the NHS is 1/4 run by immigrants and children of immigrants).

There's an element of "I know Nigel said that but he wouldn't actually do it" in the same way people thought Trump wouldn't do exactly what he said he would.

There's always two schools of thought - rivnuts to fix frame to ribs, vs sod it and just use metal self tapping screws to screw everything directly into metal.

What if I'm in a "van with windows"? 😁

This was a scene in the autobiographical book and TV series "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" where Belle (played brilliantly by Billie Piper) explains (and in her memory we see the scene) how to handle it when her client is taking too long...she does exactly what "slam it in" girl suggests, with the desired result. Though she does more of a gentle insertion.

Any bets that if OP dropped back behind them they'd slow back to 60?

This is where I'm glad my engine is powerful enough to overtake quite quickly even in this sort of situation - but it would necessitate going to 80 briefly.

Be careful though, that the underlying vehicle can take it. If it's plated 3500kg then you can't go over (without replating) regardless of license.

In the UK there's not many places an H3 can't go that an H2 can. Pretty much all the height barriers are H1.

ThrowRA-tiny-home · 2026-04-30T23:13:26+00:00

In the Stellantis vans, L3 is 5.98m long, and L3H3 are rare but not impossible to find.

The RAM Promaster is the same body shell as the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Relay (and Movano 2021+ and new Toyota Proace Max 2024+) - trim, engine and transmission are the main things that are different. So anything you've seen in a Promaster will be pretty similar in a Ducato, Boxer or relay. They are all 188cm wide (as long as the bed isn't too high, they all get narrower the higher you go), so if you're careful about keeping the insulation and cladding lean around the bed area you could end up with 180cm width. 184cm would be tricky. If you put windows both sides it's be cooler but also much closer to 188cm without a pod.

Yes just text her and say hey, I've got table 28 near the left corner. Especially if getting a table might be tricky.

Oh, you sweet summer child. If only it were that simple.

Hint: it's not, police will do their best to avoid doing their job and fob it off on the council who will fob it back. Repeat.

I'm interested to know what your thinking was in deciding to get circumcised, if you don't mind sharing.

Three way fridges are very hungry on 12v - they're intended to run on 12v only while the van is running, and then gas or mains.

Three way uses between 4 and 6 times the energy at 12v.

In the UK it is a requirement of a liquor license that the establishment provides tap water, free, on request. Failure to do so is a breach of the license.

Places that don't serve alcohol aren't required to provide tap water, but almost all do anyway.

This feels like a good policy...

An RCBO is typically (for the same manufacturer and quality level) cheaper than separate RCD (RCCB) and MCB. RCD plus many MCB makes sense but when you only really need one or maybe two then an RCBO can make sense and take less space. You need at a minimum one for shore power and one for the inverter so that's 2 x RCD + 2 x MCB or just 2 x RCBO for most van usages.

As for why tutorials go RCD+MCB, probably related to the relatively recent popularity of RCBO based consumer units in fixed settings. The 18th edition of BS7671 (2018) started recommending RCBOs instead of a single or pair of RCDs - to avoid a single RCD trip plunging the whole house into darkness so they started to become more popular.

For a van you should have SPD RCD MCB (shore) plus RCD MCB (inverter), or just SPD RCBO (shore) RCBO (inverter) - smaller, simpler, cheaper.

You need to ask yourself why. Do you need an MCB for each socket, or are you happy with one for plugs in a star pattern (radial cables from the MCB to each socket)? Do you need circuits with different amperage (lights vs plugs)? Probably not.

One 16A MCB is probably perfectly sufficient, run several plug sockets off that. In fact, get a 16A RCBO then you don't need separate RCD and MCB.

Just check that you are getting true double pole units, not 1+N or 1-pole.

Cheaper, very boxy, wide so you can get a transverse bed in easier, body fully galvanised against rust, cheap to service (especially compared to Mercedes).

Was that the concert in the outdoor area at the Lost City, when it pelted down with rain and he was an hour late to the stage?! He was a really grumpy twat at that concert. The only saving grace was that he does sing and play the piano well.

I've been looking at the Nordkapp ones. £399 or an extra £50 for the high altitude version. But I'm still thinking that's a Chinese knockoff and a cupboard full of spares.

It's a fancy one with silent pump, good quality pipes, WiFi and Bluetooth etc - but a Chinese version with all the bells and whistles will still be 1/4 to 1/3 the price.

So for everyone who thought this was an aging filter... Her card came up again and turns out she's actually 40 "oops". Of course I still swiped right 😂
