    Air pump

    Having read reviews and seen the prices of awning manufacturers electric pumps I came across the Sevylor pump at Decathlon it was under £40 you can set whatever pressure you need press the button and when it’s done it switches off.

    Retired.

    I used to think how nice it would be to retire but after 15mths of enforced retirement (shoulder injury) I really miss my job as a head chef. My wife is still working and our granddaughter who lives with us is in full time college until late June and has just accepted a job as a Patissiere at a...

    To any moderators, sorry but this should have been posted in the equipment and accessories, my computer crashed and I didn't recheck the destination.

    Sevylor pump

    Today I bought the Sevylor pump for our Sunncamp awning, I appreciate that this only inflates to 5psi so I tried the pump at that psi and experienced no problems with the low pressure hose this is almost identical to the hose which came with awning. So knowing that people with Kampa awnings are...

    Sunncamp aftersales service.

    I just want to praise the Sunncamp aftersales, as I've said in a previous post about their awnings after buying the Airvolution 280 deluxe last August on first use I noticed a small manufacturing fault (a smal hole in the front mesh) not such a big deal but having paid hard earned cash I wanted...

    meat thermometers

    Congratulations on choosing the probe, can I suggest you google meat cooking temperatures that way you will know what temps to cook to and don't forget that when the meat is resting covered with foil the temperature will continue to rise. I just wish more people would use them

    meat thermometers

    I finished my working life as a head chef in a 4star hotel and even though we were all quite capable of cooking any type of meat we were required by the Enivironmental Health Dept to record cooking temperatures not just for meat but all types of things even the baked beans at breakfast. It...

    Mercedes C220D

    I tow with a w203 c class estate 1.8k 5sp auto, it's the avantgarde se variant with the sports suspension. I found very little difference in the ride height it's only 15mm which is less than 3/4 of an inch but it has a bit stiffer ride which makes up for and slightly larger diameter anti roll...

    Roasting on the cadac

    I have to admit that I do a lot of my cooking on the Cadac, roasting, baking you name it and I've probably done it, but my advantage is before I retired I was a head chef at a 4 star hotel. My Cadac is over 20yrs old and the way I use it to roast is flame diffuser and BBQ grill mesh, the...
