Latest unbelievable comment from Tony Abbott who is short listed for the job of Brexit Trade Envoy in UK. "Lockdowns come at too high a price and nature should be allowed to 'take its course' for more elderly victims of Covid-19."

Most where recalls . Some fairly simple fixes lake petrol cap or bad connector etc . Whats is the opinion of manufacturers fixing these ?

The van then got jacked up and wheels spun and the cord was pulled on the unit- nothing happened. Long story short the b...

A good mix of sodium percarbonate left to soak doesn't touch it nor does a strong solution of bleach. At...
