Could it be because they have been so successful in being annoying that the still exist?
So is to annoy you intentionally?
So it would appear that this could be advantageous to some people?
I appreciate that Paul and I hope thing improve for you.
At least there is an explanation there though I mean things that were normal, and now become unexplainably difficult.

And my questions Nick??
True.
My questions however are why have they swiched them around anyway?
Does it annoy anyone else?
Could there be an ulterior motive behind them doing so?
I suspect there is.
There are many...

As I have said many times before I prefer hand tools. It maybe that power gear was unavailable to a large proportion of us as we mainly worked in outside conditions where there was no power anyway....

Doesn't look as though that painting on the whole is good covering. Nevertheless you have my sympathy, it must be
traumatic sailing about with that on display|:(
Is that why am finding it harder to get out of mine every day that passes?
I've often wondered about that.
The vast amount of money spent on these ludricous programmes is appalling to my mind and would be better put elsewhere.
Is there anything we can usefully learn and use.to our advantage?
