          My friend Pam has told me that he son Karl is getting funding for free school uniform for his Daughter.
          Karl believes Covid is a Government conspiracy and he refuses to wear a mask................He don't mind taking a Government hand-out.

              I guess he pays his taxes etc?

              To me there is more to this and I cant go into it here as someone will get offended.
              But I'd just say, you cant make people think differently, even by making laws like wearing masks or other things.
              Some things need to be out in the open and talked about, but we seems to just bring in legislation to alter how people think.
              Its crazy.

                Hi Pete, would you believe this guy has never worked, when he left school he saw a Doctor and said he had a bad back.

                He's in a local Rock Band, goes bait digging/fishing.

                I'm sorry if someone on here gets offended, but if he can dance about on stage, he can work.

                  Ok, so that takes it up another level.
                  Scrounger comes to mind.

                    The alarm in my car went off and it told me one of my tyres had a low pressure, and that it was 31 but should be 32. It kept flashing so I called in a garage to pump the tire up.
                    It cost £1 !! :yikes: ... You had to put a £1 coin in the slot before you could pump your tyres up and it took all of 5 seconds :mad: :mute: :gaah:

                      @Michael Hewett you bet that's outrageous. It costs $2. here which is just over a pound. And I have one tire that goes down a few pounds every 3 weeks. That is on my summer set of rims/tyres. I have paid a couple of times to try to solve the problem and the garage fellows who are completely dependable, just can't get it to stop leaking!

                        Valve caps wear over time, especially the plastic ones. The valve is there to allow inflation, but the cap is the ultimate seal, and the end of the valve needs to be even and smooth. Hope that helps ...

                          Thank you @Giri ...

                          It's outrageous isn't it @CanadianLori, but I hope you can have it fixed properly soon.
                          I think I'll invest in a tire pump for myself.

                            I've always had a pump, cant be bothered with the ones in service stations.
                            I had one of those mickey mouse electric ones for a while but when that packed up I went back to a foot pump.

                            Michael, thats a bit sensitive aint it?

                            31 and it should be 32.

                            What happens if you put 33 in it.:biggrin:

                              :biggrin: I suppose it will carry on flashing its light at me :biggrin:

                              I used to have a foot pump many years ago too, so maybe that's what I'll get. I had my dad's old electric one (that you plug into the cigarette lighter) but it has broken.

                                The tyre pressure varies with heat and usage Michael, by more than one psi, so it´s definitely over-sensitive. Going higher will improve your mpg, lower will improve grip but get hotter in use.
                                My Multispace recommends 34 front 45 rear since it is designed to carry loads. Since it is rarely loaded I use 35 all round. I always change the valves when changing tyres.
