Yep, happened with us in our old Bailey Discovery- only with us the sink water came out through the grill. It was very awkward to re-attach. We had to unscrew the sink and lift it out slightly so that my wife could get her hands in and stick it back on. My hands were far too big to fit inside...

Thank you Mullsy. I did see those on ebay. Believe it or not I did get the parts from my local Ford dealer. The bracket and reflector came to £21 which I thought was reasonable. Having just fitted the part I can now say it must have been stolen as it could not have fallen off. It just seems that...

Hi all, The nearside reflector on the bumper of my 06 Mondeo has disappeared. I have tried local breakers yards and online parts companies to no avail. I shall try a Ford dealership but anticipate a life threatening fright. All suggestions would be gratefully received. Without the reflector it...

How many men with no arms does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Just the one....................................but he's got to have the receipt. With a due nod to Mrs. Warboys.

We have one of the blue B&Q fold up ones and can't fault it. About five years ago I thought I'd by another in case the other one failed. Yep, the original is still going strong despite getting heavy use in season. We simply line it with foil and close after cooking to prevent any rain settling...

I just know this will cheer you up Lord B. (not). It was reported today p13 Telegraph, that the Uk will have to contribute another £172m for the pensions of the EU officials bringing their average pensions up to £60,000. Well, I expect they've worked hard for it. Best wishes, Butler

Hi Lord B, I think more and more of the country are also becoming increasingly disgruntled at the very issues you raise. I think our welfare system is hugely attractive to a lot of immigrants. Not for nothing are we known as 'Treasure Island.' Also, hearing that the British Army were acting as...

Hi all, particularly to Parksy! It just isn't true that CC members spend a lot of time talking about toilet blocks. Well ok, but hey, doesn't everyone. My wife and daughter, when they return from the shower block always discuss the merits of the showers in individual cubicles in terms of power...

Unfair Parksy! CC members rarely experience messy toilets, especially if you use them just after cleaning. ho ho. Seriously, the worst I have experienced is where the person before me had obviously had a *** in the cubicle. I found that really anti-social and bad form. Best wishes, Butler

Hi all, I have just bought an EZ grabber from Amazon. The blurb said that this would transfer VHS tapes to my lap top using a range of operating systems. However, The actual grabber says windows vista version and I have windows 7. Is anyone able to confirm this is ok before I tear open the...

Colin, What is your favourite site in all those years? Butler

Really sorry to hear the news Colin. Olda age and/or ill health awaits us all, particularly when it comes to awning pegs on hard standings. Upon returning to Wales I find laver bread and Joe's ice cream (not together) helps my wellbeing. Seriously, I hope your wife gets better and enables you...

Hi all, I was very interested to read the replies. In the Telegraph about a month ago, Rick Maybury recommended using a programme called 'decrapifier' and no, I'm not kidding, to remove the pre-installed rubbish. He said that one of the reasons that computers and lap tops have become relatively...

Happy New Year all. I presently have 2 months free Norton antivirus. I propose changing to AVG free. What other free security would you suggest that is compatible with AVG? Any considerations would be gratefully appreciated. Butler

Hi all, I was just wondering if there's a programme that does road tests for affordable cars any more. You see, every time I watch Top Gear they seem to be blasting around in cars costing £100,000 or more and whilst this can be entertaining, it does little to inform me of what the trends are in...
