You're lucky then, just when I get to the last one she finds another one or two . . .

The whole idea of putting something in the cooling system to block a leak sits uneasy with me. I'd be worried it would also block part of the cooling system. A paste applied on the outside of the system sounds better.

Or maybe, buy a Herald, get a free breakdown recovery lorry . .

Colin is right, it looks reasonable, what's the inside and motor like? His second point will be MUCH more difficult😁. Welcome aboard and ask away any time for help or information.

Variety is the spice of life. So they say.

Yes, I know - I looked up the prices last night as well. I've just come out of intensive care as a result of the shock. . .

He has a squad of leprechauns helping out.

Thanks Colin, looks like the same switch though. Triumph, don't you just love their logic!

Out of simple curiosity which model(s) had that?

Does this mean red skin onions are non pc?

When I first got my 13/60 I did a complete service and when I pumped oil into the trunnions grease was expelled. That was 7 years ago so I would suggest just give them a really good dose of oil.

Be careful, it was all the late queen's choice - she could still arrange for a corgi to bite you where it hurts! Here the commentators were very impressed with the precision of the whole event. Of course my regional TV news had a special yesterday evening, there was a big screen set up in Bayeux plus a town hall, forget where, had something there. The Duc de Normandie is dead, long live the Duc de Normandie.

Had a Fiat years ago with one. On long boring journeys I would spend ages trying to keep the dial in the good zone . . .

If tank has the reserve position you get a little reminder . . Better to have a gauge that under reads than over reads.

The least they can do is put the local TV coverage on the cinema screen, there is a cinema I'm sure.

I don't know what time events start tomorrow, I'll look it up later, but here a couple of TV channels are starting their coverage at 06h00 our time, 05h00 UK. No doubt a long retrospective of her life. Our Union flag will be out at half mast for the day as will the drapeau tricolore on all the public buildings. The 19th of September is a date we won't be able to forget as it is the anniversary of our remarriage here in France.

Sink plunger

I bought a cheap one, perfectly adequate for my use as I didn't need anything that is hyper accurate.

So does that mean you've all moved on from being a bunch of Elizabethans to being a bunch of Charlies? 😁

That's probably because the GPs are overweight and need to diet. . . As it happens Mrs. has an appointement with a dietitian this afternoon, which means I'll probably be loosing weight over the next weeks & months . . .

I know what you mean. Every time I have been to our local hospital for x rays, echos etc for me or Mrs. There is always a group of nurses and/or aids standing outside having a smoke. . .

Be careful or you'll end up on the sea front

Mine stays outside all year, had the car since 2015, under a cover. Make sure you get one designed for outside use with elasticated areas at the front and back, at least one strap that goes under the car to stop it blowing away and the correct size so there isn't too much to flap about. Glued and sewn seams are better than just glued or sewn. My first cover - quite expensive- wasn't and seems soon started to split. My current cover, much cheaper is in fact lasting far better. I have a 13/60 so glued felt to the areas where the fins rub to protect the cover from damage. In winter I use elastic straps and those foam tubes for pipe insulation between the car and cover to give an air gap. Also important when the weather is dry to get the cover off and ideally turn it inside out to dry off, as well as allowing the car to dry off. As mine is a convertible I also put rechargeable dehumidifiers in the car, they do make a difference. Another tip, I part it up in winter in neutral with the handbrake off - wheels blocked so it can't move. Of course give the car a run when you can, nothing better than getting it up to temperature and using it, even only a little.

From familypedia This list shows the most senior line of direct royal lineal descent to the current monarch of the United Kingdom from William the Conqueror of England. Each person on the list is the son or daughter of the person above him or her on the list. There are many other more junior lines of descent of the family (some of which are shorter), but the crown, at least in theory, descends only through the most senior line. Due to extinct lines, large parts of entire royal houses (Lancaster, Tudor, Stuart) are bypassed in the current most senior line. The numbers can be used to calculate the number of generations between two individuals on this list, but they may have shorter links (notably that of George III to George VI through the latter's mother).

Monarchs not in the direct royal line, and why The number after each monarch is their generation number (it corresponds to the number on the list above and the list below). William II (2), died without issue. The line passes through his younger brother, Henry I Stephen (3), he was from a more junior branch of the family; the line passes through his uncle of the senior line, Henry I Richard I (5), died without issue. The line passes through his younger brother, John Richard II (11), died without issue. The line passes through his grandfather's younger son, Lionel, Duke of Clarence Henry IV (11); the House of Lancaster was from a more junior branch of the family; the line passes through his uncle of the senior branch, Lionel, Duke of Clarence Henry V (12), the House of Lancaster was from a more junior branch of the family; the line passes through his great uncle of the senior branch, Lionel, Duke of Clarence Henry VI (13), the House of Lancaster was from a more junior branch of the family; the line passes through his great great uncle of the senior branch, Lionel, Duke of Clarence Edward V (16), the line passes through his sister, Elizabeth of York Richard III (15), the line passes through his elder brother's daughter, Elizabeth of York Henry VII (14), he is from a junior branch of the family. His wife, Elizabeth of York, is from the senior branch, and the line passes through her and then through their daughter, Margaret Tudor Henry VIII (17), all heirs died without issue. The line passes through his sister, Margaret Tudor Edward VI (18), died without issue. The line passes through his aunt, Margaret Tudor Mary I (18), died without issue. The line passes through her aunt, Margaret Tudor Elizabeth I (18), died without issue. The line passes through her aunt, Margaret Tudor Charles I (21), the line passes through his sister, Elizabeth, Electress Palatine Charles II (22), the line passes through his aunt, Elizabeth, Electress Palatine James II (22), the line passes through his aunt, Elizabeth, Electress Palatine Mary II (23), the line passes through her great aunt, Elizabeth, Electress Palatine William III (23), he was from a junior branch of the family and a cousin of his wife Mary II; the line passes through his great aunt, Elizabeth, Electress Palatine Anne (23), the line passes through her great aunt, Elizabeth, Electress Palatine George IV (27), the line passes through his younger brother, Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn William IV (27), the line passes through his younger brother, Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn Edward VIII (31), the line passes through his younger brother, George VI Monarchs of each generation This table shows the generation of each monarch based on their descent from William I via the royal line. The generational jump between Henry VII and Henry VIII is an interesting case shown on this list. Henry VIII is the son of Henry VII (generation 14 through an illegitimate junior line of John of Gaunt) as well as the son of Elizabeth of York (generation 16 through the senior Lionel, Duke of Clarence line). Henry VIII is counted as generation 17 because the royal line passes through his mother, who is of the senior line. This process will continue in the future. Prince William of Wales, if he becomes king, will add a line to Charles II, from whom he is descended through his mother Lady Diana.
