I'd ignore the siphon toilet, simple enough though it is, and baffle them with my answer. I have a Fluidmaster flapper Valve ;) :

I know nothing about this incident so can't comment on it. However I did see Mark Field in a TV discussion some while ago and was surprised at the level of aggression he displayed. He clearly has a very short fuse. .

2mm 14 gauge will be ok, I built a rear hub motor wheel using the ones linked to below and used it for over a decade with no breakages. You can select an exact length in the options box: British made spokes at SJS .

Slight problem, article 7 of the Police Code of Ethics, Peel Principles, says this, note my bold emphasis: 7. Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the...

Boris Johnson of course. The criticism against anything in London is always by Tories, politically motivated and never based on facts. They hate that London is a very successful Labour city and that hatred is intensified by their own miserable failure to be able to run London when Tory...

As so often happens with English names in entymology, this Capricorn name is applied to more than one xylophageous species, in this case most commonly these two: Cerambyx cerdo, the beetle larvae that Zlatan illustrated above and which Danidl describes. Xestobium rufovillosum, the Death Watch...

The thin springs on the older ones I knew were around the inner rod at one end. Otherwise doing the same job, but I've never touched a Spectro, only knew of them. The gear 1 on the cargo hub is lower than the standard hub gear 1, so you would be spinning a little bit faster than usual if in...

Yes, the yellow line on the clickbox. SRAM changed these hub gears during their life from just plain SRAM to SRAM Spectro. Yours is probably a different version from the ones I'm used to which have a long very thin spring wound tightly around the inner end of the shift rod. It seemed to be...

I don't know about that internal lug, I've not had one broken so can't know how much effect it has. The correct way round for the shift rod is with its spring inboard inside the hub, but if the opposite is better by all means use it that way. However I think you're nearly there since you have...

There's already a lot of law for them. For example all the following are exempt from being considered motor vehicles under type approval law: Self balancing vehicles like the Segway. Vehicles without a seat, i.e. pavement scooters. Two and three wheeled vehicles with a seat height of 540mm...

Cyclists hate losing momentum and often try to swerve past anyone in the way, but that is a big mistake. Braking should always be the default action since pedestrian movements are unpredictable. .

The TV companies love them, since with unpaid participants they are a very cheap way of filling airtime. .

We all know that none of them stood a chance against Johnson anyway, but they've put themselves on the radar for future PM. If Johnson's time as London Mayor is anything to go by, after a parliamentary term with his cuts, Stewarts policies may be seen as attractive. Remember how unpopular...

That's because she was elected an MSP in the Scottish Parliamentary election to succeed Alex Salmond in that Scottish post. Salmond stepped down from that for election to Westminster in the UK election to become SNP leader in the HoC. Blackford was elected an MP in the UK election for...

For the Tories. .

I'm psychic. ;) .

She was elected MSP at the 2016 election with a decisive 61.4% of the vote in her constituency, so no problem on that account. I don't know the Scottish Parliament position, but in the UK parliament a prime minister doesn't need to be an elected MP. Lord Alec Douglas Home was appointed a Tory...

I don't think that's entirely true. Many women voted for Margaret Thatcher simply she was a woman PM. Equally Tony Blair's apparent appeal when he first appeared revived Labour's fortunes, while conversely many will not vote Labour with Corbyn in place. Also it's generally agreed that the...

The foot on the floor doesn't make it a pedelec. To be one a bike has to have working pedals and a seat/saddle, plus adherence to the 250 watt power and 15.5 mph assist speed limits and power from the motor only while pedalling. Even for pedelecs, pavement use is only permitted at low speeds...

I don't own one Heather, but in case you don't know Jaguar X-type is based upon the Ford Mondeo, the first Jaguar designed in the period when Ford owned Jaguar. It's based on a modified Mondeo floorpan. The rear suspension is from the Mondeo estate, the engine is derived from the Mondeo's V6...
