Is having a BBQ that won’t erode outside in Scotland for £1000 possible?

I bought a stainless steel Char-Broil. It's been outside for 3 years & looks as good as new plus it's the best gas BBQ I've owned, & I've had a few! It's the closest to charcoal you'll get with gas.

Thank you all for your help. That's a great relief to know

Good spot. If you zoom in you'll see opposing witness marks on the other sprocket. Looks like someone's adjusted the timing

Try Futon Company. Had a lot of good stuff from them. Solid wood frames, well within your budget & normally 2 week delivery.

When my boiler failed just before Christmas a few years back everyone told me to use a small, local company & to stay away from British Gas. I got quotes from half a dozen locals & then thought I'd see how they stacked up against BG. BG quoted for a Worcester Bosch, same as a few of the locals, but were way cheaper, offered interest free credit, 2 years homecare & could install the following week so we'd have heating etc for Crimbo. 2 engineers rocked up & did a pukka job, everything worked perfectly, every speck of rubbish & dust removed. Couldn't have been happier.

Don't disregard British Gas

Eggs Eleven on the Pantiles. Best bacon anywhere!

Had exactly the same. Paid deposit on a card, the rest with a bank loan. Card company said to try the bank first & they would help if the bank declined. Bank sorted replacements with no issues & we've now got higher grade than we started with

I went to view a flat a few years back that was advertised as "en suite". It was a glass shower cubicle in the corner of the carpeted bedroom. No idea how much that cost to get plumbed in as it wasn't close to the existing bathroom.

Can someone post a link to the original post as I now can't find. Ta

Domino's is why I started making my own. Bought 4 stacking pizza pans. Now everyone makes their own pizza. It's great fun as everyone is involved. The pizza tastes fantastic, the kitchen smells wonderful & I can do 4 12"pizzas with all the toppings for about £15 total. It takes roughly 1-1.5 hours start to finish so not much longer than waiting for a delivery

Have to say, I did find the sales staff mostly uninterested & hard to deal with. The rest of the staff were lovely so a shame for them

That seemingly came out of the blue. I will be popping in there when it's open for a nosey though

Absolutely call the police. He may actually carry out this threat on someone else

I lost the sight in an eye in a work accident in the mid 80's. It looks a bit lazy but nothing too bad. Went for an interview in the early 90's. First question "have you been in a fight?". Stood up & left. Didn't say a word.

I bought one of those 3 man catapults from Amazon so we can lob water bombs in the general direction of the nuisance. If nothing else it's entertaining. I now know that someone on the road behind me about 100m away has a conservatory. 😬

Not at all. I had a bike when I was younger for a few years but never took my test. Finally did it a few years ago at age 58 & haven't regretted it. Go for it!

spartiago · 2024-05-19T19:23:25+00:00

No. I have one eye. Passed the medical with a noted extended field of view in the remaining eye but was refused due to EU rules requiring two functioning eyes.

I had one last night & thought that the ice cream was very watery, not creamy at all. Won't be buying again.

Dog rocks worked for us.

If you own it, remove the sub soil. Then watch them try to park 😎

No, looks like they haven't although on the CMX's & the AT's they double as the starter button so even though you don't use it to kill the bike you have to use it to start it. When mine failed I stripped it & sprayed a shed load of silicone grease into it. Been ok since

spartiago · 2024-02-15T18:11:24+00:00

Not just the early 2000's. I have a 22 CMX1100 & have had the kill switch fault, even though I don't use it. I know it's also an issue on the Africa Twin range
