Am I reading it right ? £32, 000 towards some "experts" to review it's condition, does "towards" hint that they might need even more money just to to review it :eek: ? I'm sure they will greedily use up all that money and then decide they can't find funds to actually retore it.

I note the use of asbestos there, I wonder if any or even many of the staff had health problems in later life

Google image text translator got some of it but could not read the doctors name or the word above certified

A nice old fashioned Xmas card type picture but as an artist myself I'm somewhat confused by the perspective, the stream appears to be running considerably downhill with a wooden fence to stop it overflowing on the bend o_O. It's as though it's back to front and the stream should be the cart track.

I just noticed my grape photo had gone, I just put it back o_O

The Grapes are ripe! these are a desert type, very sweet and juicy and the skin is very soft so dissolve in your mouth, they grow right across the back wall of our house

I seem to remember as a child in the 1950's a furriers somewhere near Navigation St/Suffolk St, It also had stuffed animals in the window. We lived on the south side of B,ham in the 1950's and I think it was the 22 bus we would be on

I'm not saying that Windows 11 itself is slow when running/installing stuff etc, it's just slower than Win10 at startup and sleep

Hello John, my spec is Intel Core i7 12700F, 16GB DDR4, 12GB NVIDIA RTX 4070 Graphix, 1TB M.2 Solidigm P41 Plus NVMe M.2 SSD So you have about 26 seconds to desktop which is similar to mine and I disabled password etc. Win 10 loaded on my old PC (with SSD) in 15 seconds total. From sleep...

I loved the Witcher games, things have come on a lot since then and now we get photo realistic games, just like you are actually taking part in a film. Currently playing "Starfield" where there are actually 1000 planets and moons that can be landed on and explored to find alien flora and fauna...

I was a gamer 30 years ago and I'm still a gamer still at 77 :cool: my new PC is a gaming machine, I always have my PC connected to the internet via an ethernet cable from the modem but that is usually done by gamers who play online which I don't anymore. I just turned off peer sharing as you...

Well, I'm not one bit impressed with Windows 11, I have had my new high spec PC for one week now and so far I would much prefer Win 10. I find it slower to load from the days first startup, slower to turn off, most annoying is it's slower to open from sleep, which I use on and off all day...

I worked for 18 years with a firm of shopfitters and had to fill countless holes in the wall. I would not actually class this a hole as the blocks underneath are not damaged, it's just a missing piece of plaster. The depth here is not a deep hole is it, it's just the depth of the walls original...

Was that a " Gas safe installer" that capped your pipe? if so he wants reporting, if it was a general plumber he did an illegal job. Plaster will fill up the depth in one go but will probably have hairline cracks when it dries, but so will Polyfilla if you put it on really thick, finishing...

That's awkward with the pipe sticking out, I would have thought the gasfitter who capped the pipe would have pushed the pipe more upright, I wouldn't attempt to push it in as it might fracture and leak gas. I would get a small bag of plaster to fill up the bulk, (dampen the wall first) and then...

I just bought a new PC with Win 11 and spent ages trying to get rid of stuff, Microsoft even tried to stop me downloading Google Chrome and forcing me to have Microsoft edge but I won in the end but they still keep trying.

All these old photo's take me back to the1960's when all those old streets were still around, it was from around then that the council began a systematic project to destroy everything and replace it with concrete. See this photo of Little Bow street, just off Bristol street, it looks almost...

The Black Horse ,Northfield, I used to pass it every day driving from Rednal to Birmingham centre from 1961, built in 1929-30 it's now a grade II* listed building, the building had its Grade-II heritage status upgraded to II* in August 2015.

I bet those fly presses sure made those ladies arm ache after doing it all day, how about this monster one in a silversmiths shop o_O

I've not paid UK road tax since 2010, my second and current hybrid vehicle reg 2016 was the last year hybrids were exempt from road tax
