  1. What a shame. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/two-men-arrested-after-video-showed-car-going-more-than-200mph-in-west-sussex-12005522 Interesting that there “is no excuse for speeding at any time” when you routinely see blue lights speeding, call me a pedant but that’s BS.
  2. White on black plates look so much better than ours, particularly the rear yellows we have.
  3. I ordered 50 quid of spices from spice mountain and a grinder, if lockdown has achieved anything, I can now make myself one excellent curry! Just need to learn the other thousands of dishes now.
  4. Now that some of the restrictions are being eased, please can we ask that if you are planning any kind of local meet, do observe the official guidance of the day. Please respect any and all applicable rules, at the time of the meet, not just at the time when you plan it. Please do not add our Zed Community to the list of those who cannot behave responsibly during the pandemic. We get enough stick from NIMBYs as it is Thanks from The Team and look out for one another.
  5. That’s fit for a submarine or a space ship. Production values have sky rocketed with this new shiny material.
  6. Untrimmed cable ties. It’s like I don’t even know you any more.
  7. Good to see you back in action and work picking up (despite the impact of that on fun time). Just one thing, have you considered building a much larger powder coat oven so you can powder coat this powder coat oven?
  8. Glad you got registered, post up some pics, we love Zed shots!
  9. I must admit, that teaser got me a bit aroused.
  10. Seems like the perfect brand - where did you find it?
  11. Really nice this project Martin, love it.
  12. Was there an oven light to nick from the SMEG to assist with your viewing window?
  13. Cheers Colin, I read the link and also the one from Glen too (thanks also). Seems like it's just a thing that is really not that well defined, I have interpreted this There is no prescribed method for measuring the height of walls where the land is uneven. The general practice is to measure this from the adjacent natural ground level. to mean that Option 1 - the blue wall - is the correct approach (I intend to photograph the lot extensively, in case of any dispute). However, having got going on the detail in the links you guys supplied, I noted this lot further down. The definition at paragraph 3, article 1 of the General Permitted Development Order 1995, which provides that measurement should be made from the highest adjacent ground level, applies only to buildings and plant and machinery and does not extend to walls and fences. There is no prescribed method for measuring the height of walls where the land is uneven. The general practice is to measure this from the adjacent natural ground level. This is normally taken from the median point between ground levels on the high side and the low side. Cases where this issue has been considered are examined in Development Control Practice 4.3447. Now this reads to me like Option 2 - the pink wall - is actually viable (which is what I would prefer) as it is based on the 'highest adjacent ground level". as it says this... "applies only to buildings and plant and machinery and does not extend to walls and fences." ...which suggests otherwise. The wall in situ, is joined to the house at one end and the other end, is the existing outbuildings. So I think I could argue for the pink wall but it's more of technical argument than a common sense one. How do you read it @Ebized you think Option 1 is the appropriate view, based on the guidance and examples laid out? Also, you mention contacting the Local Planning Authority for a certificate, do you know, if I go down this route, are they likely to want to speak to the neighbour and/or view the wall from his side - I don't want to provoke him.
  14. Planning a little redevelopment of my back yard and I've a got question I can't find an easy answer on the google. Video to explain. Any help or relevant experience is appreciated.
  15. I don’t think you get what above the law means mate.
  16. I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. I’d watch 2049 after. Id love to do a massive screen projection of Das Boot, turn off all the lights and REALLY get into it.
  17. WOW I feel like I should notify at least one of the emergency services about this, but I just don't know which one! At least there is now something more dangerous than Covid-19 to worry about out there 11 out of 10 for ambition and 10 out of 10 for realisation. #staysafe
  18. I’ve removed your number, this is an open forum so it’s best not to publish it, but if you want to, please feel free to add it again.
  19. What do they say, "Measure twice, bake once?".
  20. Was it runny or gloopy? I’ve had a bottle of Megs for 240 years and it’s still only half empty. Can’t bring myself to try anything else until it’s gone?
  21. Love it when a plan comes together. Thanks for sharing it mate, still really enjoying these lockdown updates. You know, if there was a little positive air pressure inside the dust housing for the motor and vibrator, it might push dust and media gently out the gaps, instead of letting it in. Just sayin'...
