Have I ever said, when ar were a lad, one of the locals had an Austin A30 with a Westminster engine? The pilot and co pilot sat in the back. It only ever emerged very late at night and the legend was that it wasn't very legal.
Was there any room betwixt rear axle and flywheel for a gearbox? I have my doubts. Direct drive! 
Thusly does the design mature.
I bought some wood fence post caps for the patio fencing @ £2 each
and thought I'd use No Nails glue so not to look out of place by using screws.
Went to check my weekend handy work just now ,to find they haven't stuck, so it looks like its s
t glue and I will have to screw them down......mans work is never done.

Does anyone know how to contact Adenauer please? I'm at the Ring, staying in the Fuchsröhre hotel tomorrow night with a bunch of other PHers and it might be nice if he wants to join us for a drink. Chunky has my phone number if he says yes and wants to get in touch
Sorry I missed you
The Surprise Grandson, now 28 (as opposed to 6, 3, 2 and 2 months for the others), came round and asked if I had any No More Nails. When I asked what it was for he said the curtain rail had fallen down with the weight of the curtains and he needed to stick it back up. So, then, you're proposing to glue a collection of curtain rail fastenings with attendant srews, rawlplugs and oddments of masonry back to the wall, are you? Yes, that was exactly what he was proposing. Worst case scenario: ten minutes.
It didn't work. But top marks for faith in random bit of fix-it technology.
A new tub of filler, new fastenings, a fresh masonry drill and about four hours later and I'd done it.
It's no wonder lads have no time for old fellas; they're just cranky old know-alls with tools.
