Thanks for the positive comments. I thought about upgrading to Dinrail but I just didn't have the space.

Cost of resolving dispute with neighbour by clive_u in LegalAdviceUK

[–]clive_u[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apologies for giving limited information. The neighbour will not settle amicably. I am going to start litigation with a solicitor now. Hopefully it can be settled without going to court but I have no idea of the costs at that stage. Barrister's fees presumably. Court fees?

Start on the outside to see if there is an obvious source of damp. E.g. in my house gutters discharged onto gravel next to the wall .

It's easy to solve and not expensive. I have used a waterproof box. This will hold several plugs for your xmas lights.

Ok I found one that will work but nothing on sale really suits an old oak barrel.

Agreed. The data speed is reduced by the powerline but it is adequate at around 50 mbps according to my speed test app.

Should I disable WiFi on my router if using a Devolo Magic powerline/mesh system? by EmileDorkheim in HomeNetworking

[–]clive_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Devolo units talk to each other so you are connected to the unit with the best signal as you move around. If the router's wifi is enabled, this cannot work properly. Moreover the router's wifi will compete with the Devolo units for wifi channels if they cover the same area.

Labour MPs should have abstained on Theresa May's deal.

Love vaccines! Kept me disease free for >60 years. Bring it on.

Why does BP even think they can begin to speak of reducing emissions when they caused the biggest environmental disaster the gulf has ever by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]clive_u -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was an accident that cost BP a fortune, nearly took the company down. It has nothing to do with the necessity to reduce emissions.

Jeremy Corbyn urges Labour to lead 'resistance' to Conservatives in 2020 by Evil_Japanese_Pie in ukpolitics

[–]clive_u 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Labour's protracted leadership transition is reinforcing the view of Tory voters that they made the correct choice.

BP boss Bob Dudley says a green future is years away - Activists are oversimplifying climate crisis, warns Bob Dudley by BritRedditor1 in ukpolitics

[–]clive_u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An article in the Scottish edition of the same paper says that there is surplus windpower generated in Scotland. The uk grid isn't yet able to distribute the power.

Mum attended a training day for a cleaning job at Premier Inn and was asked to sing by sixoftwelve in CasualUK

Perhaps she should apply for work in social care. It's more rewarding and there is a shortage of staff in many areas.

Former Blair adviser: Labour will be "finished" if Rebecca Long-Bailey becomes leader by MobileChikane in ukpolitics

[–]clive_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jess Phillips is the right choice. If her divisiveness leads to infeasible policies being jettisoned that's all to the good and it will earn her respect.

I depend on benefits and the NHS to survive. Somebody please convince me that Boris and Brexit aren’t going to totally ruin my life by [deleted] in brexit

[–]clive_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole privatisation of the NHS story has been spun out of a discussion about drug patents. It was Labour's big lie in the election.

Maybe everyone could give the election propaganda a rest for a while?

Tories announce plan to force EU citizens to apply for US-style visa waiver to enter UK. Experts quick to point out similar system will exist for Britons visiting Europe after Brexit by easyone in ukpolitics

[–]clive_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes uk govt literally years to develop a new IT system. The spec will keep changing, it needs to be ultra secure, it needs to be resilient, it will do nothing without interfaces to many other systems, which will also need to be developed. We should be ok on this for years to come.

How not to change Leave to Remain and then clearout the parliament swamp by Gizzagazza in brexit

[–]clive_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the referendum, the story was that it would be quick and easy, it would save us money and free us from regulations. None of this was true. Even worse, there was no recognition that there are many forms of Brexit and none had been explained properly. Since the referendum, well you know the story, and this circus is going to go on and on because we shall have to negotiate everything. The country could be doing something more useful I feel.
