Should go like a bomb 🤣

IIRC Flair used to organise a fly-in for thier kit range with a special slot for Magnatillas. I think there was a prize for the best Magnatila but can't remember whether it was judged on performance or concours - d'elegance.

I only ever use a magnet on one surface & tinplate or soft iron on the other. This has always proved strong enough for the job & has the advantage that you don't accidentaly have the same polarity on opposing surfaces - cheaper too.

The name "dyslexia" was chosen in order to reduce the number of people complaining of the condition.

To what porpoise ?

On Tyneside Greggs favourite delicacy is AKA "Greggs Toddler Dummy". You only need to look in most baby buggies to see why. 😉

Candid interviews (usually TV) of the Duke of Sussex.

Are the servos installed in mirror orientation or the same as for ailerons ?

In Paul's area they'll say - 'allo, 'allo !

Reminds me of years ago in the days of the village bobby, our local plod retired & moved into a nice terraced cottage. He decided it needed a new back door which, as he'd been a joiner before joining the plod-force he would fit himself. Whilst he was at it his wife persuaded him that a cat-flap would be a good idea. He cuts all the necessary bits out for the hinges, fits lock, preps frame to match etc finaly cuts out the required hole & fits cat-flap - everything looking good. Comes to hang the door to the frame & discovers the cat-flap is at the top !

It won't catch on, it'll just be a flash in the pan.

That's only true in zero windspeed. In any wind & the heavier, faster model will cover more ground distance but both models will pass through the same air distance if any of the flight path is into wind.

Do you not mean 'red herons' ?

I calibrated & still occasionaly check my tacho against old fillament bulbs (same as Geoff S) or flourescent fittings but also detect 3000 rpm with led bulbs & tubes. I was actually demonstrating how ac differed from dc to my 10yo grandaughter recently using the tacho. A better deal than the tuning forks that we used in telephone exchages to calibrate ring generators 🤣

Every profession, trade, service etc has people who are unnecessarly pedantic in thier dealings with thier clients, costomers etc. They tend to forget what the end purpose of thier job is & who's actualy paying for it but should we assume that they are all the same ?
