As a point of interest did you know that if you use a domestic fridge in a garage in a UK winter it will control at around 3 to 5 degrees C when temperatures ar...

Re: Refrigeration Repair Man

Seems Big Boy has his problem solved so just thought I would add my 2 pennies worth. All have magnetic door strips, the idea of a vacuum is not unreal, my Whirlpool fridge expels all the warm air which enters when it is open and when the door first shuts.

Didn't have to do any tests and a medical is only required for first provisional licence. Go the day after your Birthday as you get 6 years. Got...

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

Thailand does not sell field Mushrooms Most people have not even seen or eaten field mushrooms. The trick is to catch them before the flies attack and the maggots start eating. I know this because my crew at RAF Halton doing a daily perimeter check used to bring back a large bin bag full. A 12 inch ...
