I don't understand your statement. The crossing has two barriers which cover both lanes I'm sure.

Just out of interest but the lone tractor unit which flashed through before the one which did the damage seems to of been of the same type/colour. I wonder whether our culprit was travelling in convoy with this unit and didn't wish to be separated. Just a thought.

Great :)

Looking at that picture the handle stem is tapered so I suspect that you may have to pop the end cap off the knob to gain access to the fixing screw. It may only be on one side so have a gander to see if there is a little slot on one knob. That allows you to remove the moving bit then you can...

You don't need one, use upload a file at the bottom...

Are you saying the door knobs are loose or the full door plate with the knob attached? Oh and they are knobs not handles I assume?

Back in the day workers in heavy industry were given a beer allowance. The lads in the forging area had buckets of beer. There really isn't that sort of heavy industry anymore so the beer allowance is defunct.

They are indeed east of Exeter. Remember the British Isles are somewhat canted.

When the admittedly empty coal train came off at Heworth it smacked the concrete sleepers. You can still see the marks today, so this must have been bit heavier.

Please do elaborate sir?

I have. Make lorry drivers have to come upto and possibly exceed train driver training and qualification with very regular assessments and instant tea without biscuits if a misdemeanour occurs. It will never happen, since Marples, the road lobby had a very large sway.

Is it me or does TrafficEng sound like a certain trucker who used to be on here saying very similar things?

The thorium cycle is a nightmare.

I think you will find Hinkley C will never be built.

Well the red line as you would say on the rev counter is 8GW but what's a GW between friends. I also don't think we will have another generation of nuclear.

But it does run flat out apart from refuelling and maintenance. Do you not agree? Oh and I thought the current nuclear capacity was 8GW?

Ah now I see. As usual the electrical/electronics industry don't care about acronyms, the letters can be assigned to both terms.

What's wrong with the description?

Mod Note: Please note posts #1 - #8 originally in this thread. Actually nuclear runs flat out all the time at 6.9GW, it's the only way it works. If you watch the grid then quite often coal does shut down at night but gas keeps going.

Really? :rolleyes:
