Looks to me that the government shifted the responsibility at the last renewal of the charter, to escape taking the blame for the cuts, its strange that the government says the BBC is biased and too left leaning yet they are happy to appear on BBC TV to be interviewed yet won't go onto ITV and...

Hi Guys, I'm about halfway through my Tate and Lyle sugar sticks that I use for bottle priming and looking to restock. If I was to buy Demerara sticks would they be better suited to darker beers such as Belgian ale and evil dog bad cat etc and use the white sticks for Mexican beer and hammer of...

We need to go further than that , we need to boycott any manufacturers that abandon UK production, a prime example would be if they took production of the new defender style 4x4 to france and even more so for lower price ticket everyday items like Cadbury chocolate made in Poland etc. I'm not at...

Wow , I thought there was few bikers on here but this has surprised me , great stuff guys and gal keep it coming all interesting to me. Mark

Like others it's what came in my starter kit, so it's what I continue to use, so far without issue. I did ask this question but the answers were like in this thread with some degree of o yes it is / o no it isn't to them. I would say go with whatever works for you. Mark

I hope he gets the channel back, I enjoyed his very laid back manner. Mark

All good stuff, good to see all the input. Below is my current R80RT in the Black Forest during my last tour. Mark

Hi Guys, I just started a biker Thread, if you fancy joining in. https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/biker-thread.88456/ Mark

Hi Guys, It appears there are a few bikers on the forum so I thought I start a thread where can have a chat etc. My introduction, I'm a life long bike and have owned over 40 bikes (all Jap or German) I started off "over the fields" while a school boy and got my Fs1e DX on my 16th birthday ...

My bottles are free from my local pub, usually 500ml brown bulmers or rekorderlig once they have been through the dishwasher which also takes the labels off and then sterilised I can't see how they could be any cleaner ! Recently as the pub has been shut I've bought a pack of 24 X 500ml Cooper's...

I've found a way of filtering out some of the dodgy sellers passing off shoddy goods, if when you click on the description you see information about 50 totally non relevent items you have scroll through to try and find info on the listed item , this is a sign of possible dodgy seller , if you...

P of L P , what's that ? Mark

The metal part going up the side of the round Euro plug is the earth, however that doesn't always mean that it has a wire connected. I suppose the only way to find out is to cut it off ! The wire colours should be the standard Green/yellow earth if present Blue neutral Brown live I have done...

I would go with what the spark says and cut off the plug and replace it with a UK one fitted with a 13 amp fuse, if the mains lead is detachable from the unit like a kettle lead you could just buy a UK spec one . Also totally avoid extension leads particularly one on a reel. Mark

They have a good reputation, it might be worth contacting them for advice , when I was working in Ireland, the mains sockets there were UK standard so the Euro plug would be wrong there also.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal for UK suppliers to supply kit with non UK mains plug, but if you bought direct from abroad I don't think you have that protection. Mark
