    Reclining seats on economy flights

    On short haul flights, the seats are pushed tighter together to accomadate more passengers and thus bring the unit cost of the seat down. Even though the seat will still have the facility to recline, quiet often it is impossible to do so without causing pain or discomfort to the person behind...

    Reclining seats on economy flights

    Just ask the 6Ft guy sitting behind you. You sound like a nice person but it is just simple manners to take other peoples comfort in consideration when you are in such a confined space. It's like farting in a lift, sure you are allowed to do it but it is just not polite.

    Reclining seats on economy flights

    Ha, someone give him a shovel. Back to topic, as a 6'4" frequent short haul flyer, I find the reclining of seats even more offensive than quiet a few of ClubMans posts. Have a bit of respect for other passengers and have the decency to ask the person behind if they would mind before you...

    Decking - difference between red deal and pine?

    Very strange. I may be corrected here by an expert but pine is the generic term. Red deal or yellow deal primarily comes from the scots pine but also from pine grown in siberia and northern europe. The slower growing the timber then the more dense it is. Like any timber, you can get good and...

    Lane Discipline on Multi-Lane Roads

    I don't see why it should be seen as intimidating. It is a simple signal to encourage drivers who are off in their own world to WAKE UP ANY PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS :D

    http://www.pavingexpert.com/maintain_02.htm Everything you need to know. You might have a problem with getting the colour back as quiet often the colour will naturally fade from a lot of these type of concrete products. I have often seen it said on this forum that cobblelock/paving blocks...

    Lane Discipline on Multi-Lane Roads

    Agreed, there is no excuse for aggressive tailgating like that. A simple flash of the lights should be enough the encourage people to move lanes if there is a need to do so. Never try and slow down a speeder by staying in lane, get out of the way and let them on. You can wave as you pass them...

    Lane Discipline on Multi-Lane Roads

    Meh, I don't watch a lot of TV but I can't remember seeing anything in the last 10 years that didn't involve ambulance drivers scraping 16 year old faces off the windscreen of a car. Those type of adds just make most people switch channel IMO.

    Lane Discipline on Multi-Lane Roads

    True but the point is that if you want to drive below the speed limit then do so on the inner most lane and let other road users progress without hinderance.

    Lane Discipline on Multi-Lane Roads

    I once had a professional driver (small 3Tn pick up) complain that he hated it when people undertook him. He maintained that he was doing nothing wrong and if he was on the inside lane, other drivers would only be speeding in the fast lane. So his logic was that he was preventing other people...

    gravel driveway has hills!

    It can be down to the type of gravel too. Washed pebble will tend to move around a bit more than crushed stone, which tend to bind together better. If it is crused stone (you will know because it will have rough edges) maybe the hire of a vibrating roller might improve the situation. If you...

    Central Vacuum or not?

    Yeah, go for more points and a shorter hose. It'll make your life a bit easier. Best gadget in my house. Deffo worth the money. Vacuflo, about 2 years no problem except initially when a guy putting down floor leveller let it get into the pipe in the kitchen. That was one hell of a job to clear...

    something to stop smoke blowing back down a chimney

    If this is the first time it has happened in two years as you suggest then there is a probability that a bird has built a nest in your chimney. Rod it and get a guard for the chimney pot.
