i was given no instructions on where to send results, so did test and took photo of negative result with my phone, just in case anyone requires to see it!

ok, so have a question for the electrical experts,  on one of my Souer GTIs, the cooling fans are u/s. 

Specs   Manufacture     Poweryear.

             Type                  DC    Brushless fan.     

             Rating               Dc 24V   0.18A

After looking online, the closest i can find  are  0.15A  or 0.2A,  will either of these be compatible, if so which would be preferable, or is it vital to find 0.18A fans

TIA

For attachments I read that PDFs aren't possible and they need to be converted to Jpeg.  That is fine but I have some screenshots as PNGs.  Can they be uploaded or once again do I need them to be JPG also?

PNGs are allowed

I will absolutely second Glenmorangie as it is the best by a country mile. Good luck to everyone and I could only afford ‘one bottle per day per man perhaps’????????????????????????????

Agree. Definately my favourite

You dont really  "apply" for a PLF. you just fill it in on;ine. It has to be done no more than 48 hours before and you need to have booked your PCR test(s) in the UK already as one of the questions is the booking code for these .At the end, upon completion, it will give you the option to download/print/save etc, there was no waiting for a reply.

The UK side accepts the information on a phone but some airlines want a paper copy as they check the info at check-in. They also required a copy of the receipt for UK PCR booking

This was with Thai Airways

i got one, fine for small jobs. Used mainly as a power screwdriver but have used it for drilling holes. small and light so good for them jobs up a ladder etc.

i was surprised how well it performed considering the price

It might be different now, but I suspect that UK authorities are far too busy to care what individuals do.  Unlike Thailand, thy appeared o have faith that people would obey the rules, and left it to that

It certainly is different now, was for me anyway.

I returned last month and received a phone call every day of the ten of self isolation

If the water is fairly static around the ship, they could also dump heavy brine around it and float it out that way.

Just a novel idea.

With MARPOL regulations it would take so long to get paperwork, it would be quicker to dig it out with a teaspoon 

Well im still here at the moment, will probably be heading for work in a week or two.

So we have had 6 x 360w panels producing for seven months now for a total of 1360kwh

At approx average of 4.5 baht thats  6,120bht saved on bills so far for an average of 874bht / month

With total outlay  around 31000, thats still keeping me on track for R.O.I of less than 3 years so very happy with the project.

So anyone considering their own project, i would say it is well worth the time and money especially with the efficiency of panels getting better vs cost

i looked extensively about a month ago when i was going to fly to the UK but alas flight got cancelled.

i found a couple of cheaper options around the 3000bht bracket  (sorry cant remember now which facilities) but after getting my wife to speak with them,

1/ they couldnt give me the specifications of the test

2/ although they mentioned 24 hrs online, the wife said it was a minimum of 24 hours to get result and even longer if wanted certificate!

In the end , i booked with the Bangkok hospital, think it was 4200 baht as they guaranteed result and certificate within 24 hrs and in fact if did early morning, before 8am ,it would be available by 18:00, useful for late evening/night flights

OK so you are saying its up to the people of Scotland to decide but you want to stipulate what the timescale should be.

Tut tut tut, . Again, i do not want to stipulate anything, you do understand the difference between offering an opinion on what i think would be the preferable route and stipulting demands?. i think you either have a huge chip on your shoulder or severe lack of reading skills.

So a Remainer who has joined ranks with all the Brexiteers on here in order to frustrate Scottish independence and Scotland rejoining the EU? Sounds odd.

I haven't joined any ranks and am certainly not trying to frustrate anything, please show me where/how/when i have done this

You continually avoid the point I am making. Is Scotland an equal partner in the UK with its larger partner England? Yes or no will do

No avoiding, you added this question half way through as deflection from the initial point, When you have addressed that point, then maybe i will join in a conversation about that, or maybe not, It has no relevence to your initial post

ts not up to anyone except the Scots to decide when they want another referendum. If they vote for it in the Holyrood elections then they are surely entitled to hold one. Something I am sure as a Brexiteer who believes in democracy you would agree with no?

Never said it was,in actuall fact if you read what i wrote i said it is up to the people of Scotland,

im not a brexiteer, again can you point to where i have said i was?

I note you made no rebuttal about the fact that Scotland is not an equal partner in the union and instead prefer to split hairs about the name of the English empire and Scotlands role before we were subsumed into it by the toom tabards.

so calling you out  for making stuff up is spliting hairs?  OK 

16 minutes ago, Rookiescot said:

So ever since Scotland was sold out by the toom tabards its been an equal partner in the union?

Dont make me laugh.

If it was an equal partner (as the UK was in the EU) we would not need a section 30. Hence Scotland became part of the English empire. Yes you changed the name of the company but the company remained the same.

So keep believing you are going to convince a majority in Scotland they want to remain in the union while telling them they are not allowed to leave.

Its working well so far.

Im not beleiving i am trying to convince anyone of anything,  so please stop putting words in my mouth, i believe it is up to the people of Scotland to decide their future and so could you tell me where i have said anything to the contrary.

Personnally, and just my opinion, not set in stone or anything, i would say a fair compromise would be Indyref2  in about 2023-24 after the aftermath of brexit and covid has hopefully been dealt with, certainly not this year as some are suggesting as im sure a lot of potential Yes voters would agree.

I  did however call you put on your total fabrication about 57 countries and "English" colonism, i wonder if you are aware of the fact that some of those colonies in N.America and that went on to gain independence from the "British" were in fact Scottish colonies.

You stated 57 countries had freed themselves from Englands colonial rule. Im asking you if it was Englands colonial rule or the UKs of which Scotland was and still is a part.... but you knew that

Happy to help

Nope not helping. i cannot see the 57 countries you stated left Englands colonial rule, did you actually read the link you posted, the bulk of which are the names of settlements (not countries) in N.America which were to eventually to gain independence from, youve guessed it...Britain. In fact,after reading it twice, i cannot see even one country which freed itself from English Colonial rule but a few from British colonial rule, so sorry, no cigar

Scotland became part of Englands colonial rule because the toom tabards sold Scotland out for English gold.

There were riots on the streets of Scotland for months because of it.

What happened as "part of the UK" was not my point.

But you knew that.

and that justifies and/or excuses this 'antipathy'?

 

'Antipathy'? Xenophobia? I'd suggest 'Same, same but same' in this context.

 

Not at all, but I think that sometimes it is worth trying to understand the reasons behind such behaviour. I am not making excuses, but sometimes inward reflection is not a bad thing. 

AKA victim blaming ?

Of the 57 (?) countries that have freed themselves from Englands colonial rule not a single one of them has asked to come back.

Now I wonder why that is.

Englands colonial rule? Are you saying that Scotland had no part to play in colonialism as part of the UK?

Revisionist much?

Apologies - I must make a correction to my earlier comment on hydrocarbon volumes. It occurred to me that gas production from the Southern North Sea would have been included in that UK figure of 42.8 billion barrels.

 

According to UK government data, the SNS has produced 40 trillion cubic feet of gas over the years. This equates to roughly 7.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent. So the Scottish share of the UK production is 35.2 billion boe or 88% of Norway's production.

No Problem. My apologies also, I have reread and seen you are referring to total production since reserves were first found, The 60% i refer to was over the last few years

Incidentally, Are you also not including all the other sites in the UK outside of Scotland,  eg Morecombe Bay, Wytch farm, etc
