      Done.

      Worked perfectly after taking half a million screws out as per usual.

      Putting half a million screws back in has, naturally, ensured that the fault is now intermittent.

      I seem to have done a remarkable number of mods to the thing over the years.

      I wonder if I wrote down what any of them do.


      Today's ZeitSundayTea, rather unusually, came out of a tin, being Chicken & Blackbean soup with some Hovis granary bread.

      It was ok.

          Did a bit of gardening, then the rain started so I came back in to edit photos from last September’s safari. 243 still to go.

            Used to be 12:00 to 2:30, then 7:00 to 10:00 round here, as I recall. They were still opening at 7:00 on a Sunday evening in 1987, though it can't have been long after that the laws were relaxed a bit.

              Dear Deity, if it's in there it's as good as lost.

              I was looking at a folder of stuff extracted from electronics design magazines knocking on for 40 years ago & unread since.

              Bet it's not in there though.

                In the week they were open to 10:30 until the mid-1980s or a bit after. Outside the city, county pubs could open until 11:00 at night. People used to jump in a taxi at quarter past ten to travel out to a town that's really a suburb just outside the city border purely for the sake of an extra half hour in the pub - the Oadby Run, it was known as

                  I still remember the rage that overcame me in Port Eynon when asking for two halves of bitter and a couple of cokes, only to be told that the bar was shut coz it was Sunday.

                  It started my Inspector Dreyfus eyetwitch.

                      I remember being a student and our second home wasn't open in the 1990s on a Sunday until evening. They then changed the law but I had grown up.
