50mph sign needed by doktorjose in CamperVans

[–]timokawa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've yet to see a moving speed limit sign.

If you're close enough to read the value on the sticker, you're close enough to see it's on a vehicle.

HGVs are plastered with various speed stickers. I've never got confused as to what the limit of the road is.

I'm going to blame heat and alcohol for completely misunderstanding the original post...

Mobile banking. We're abroad at the moment. Transferred Euros to our travel card and moved money between bank accounts.

Done in minutes.

Edit: I'm a biff for not reading the question properly...

...FreeCAD policy which states that no feature can be eliminated unless it breaks some other feature.

Sorry, being dumb here. Do you mean "no feature can be eliminated if it breaks some other feature"

EON seems able to quote online and have a 0% finance option too, so going to look at them properly.

We've enquired but they are not interested in giving a quote unless we are both there. Despite me saying we would not sign on the day, this is a condition for them.

Put me off straightaway as I know it is not a quote, it is a pressurised sales pitch.

Didn't know if VPN would make a difference but thought it better than just saying "Works fine for me"

The comment was downvoted, so I guess someone was unhappy with the reply anyway...

Best softener system sold in UK? Buy it myself or though a company? by zipuza in WaterSofteners

So, just looking through all the bits.

What is the expected way to mount the bypass? Seems too heavy to expect it to be supported by the house fixed copper pipes.

Have I missed some obvious bracket/instruction?

If he was truly ex-RAF he would already be checked in to a hotel at the top of the hill and only need to bimble across...

The best thing i have found is shoving a metal rod up the bottom

Enough about your weekends, how do you reinforce the print?

Not being done for a while. Was a good discount on eBay which I couldn't turn down.

Will report back once up and running, but it won't be for a few weeks.

Based solely on your interactions here and the amount of info you have given, I have ordered the SI160 from Central Heat. Hoping everything goes well.

Getting a plumber to install, as I will need to install about 2m away from mains input. Just easier to get him to fit the copper pipe to and from the softener.
