Two oldies featuring Graeme Obree
The film Battle of the Bikes compares Graeme Obree to Chris Boardman. Obree who built his own bike out of washing machine parts and rode it in his own unique crouched position to become the World Hour Record hour.
On Yer Bike is an intimate portrait of Obree from an amateur cyclist to World Hour Record holder/ World Champion and international cycling star. We also have the intriguing story of the banning by the UCI of his unique riding position.

VINTAGE BICYCLE AUCTION 9th MARCH 2014
THE ONLINE BIDDING CATALOGUE WEBSITE IS NOW LIVE
http://auction.oldbike.eu
PLEASE CLICK HERE
I recently purchased the contents of a farm museum. My storage is now full! Some of my local Veteran Cycle Club friends have similar problems. So we’ve got together to hold a fabulous vintage bicycle auction and jumble on Sunday 9th March 2014, in Hove, East Sussex.
There are 100 bicycles and tricycles, and 50 lots of unique cycling ephemera.
Half of the 100 cycles and tricycles in the auction are unrestored items from the farm museum, selling with no reserve; the other half are restored examples featured on this website.
You can leave bids in advance, use the live internet bidding facility, or come down on the day. It’s opposite Hove railway station. My usual worldwide delivery service will be available.
Catalogues will be available around 3rd week of February. The online catalogue is now ready at: auction.oldbike.eu
From £25 projects to unique historic machines, there's something for everyone... -

How much to you want to spend?
I work for London Underground and we use pretty bomb proof for our machine room (escalators) floors that is Sika 2540 w but it is a right pain to use.
For myself I have used the floor paint from Selco's who have a good selection but have found on wood that the paint does scratch. Though if you held on to some you could always make good scratches as they happen -
Anyone can participate the entrance fee is usually £5.
Worth doing with a mate as the regulars take a while to become friendly.
For the checkpoints have a look at the Full City Cycles website -
Is it happening again this year? Or is it 5 years and that is it?

Penny Farthings and track bikes are sure to feature again in 2014 while a cycling expo area, food stalls and live music will fuel the festival atmosphere on this unique day in London's sporting calendar.
We've been up and running since 2007. In June 2013 we welcomed our biggest-ever crowd to Smithfield Market as 15,000 fans packed around the 1.1km circuit for some breath-taking elite racing.

Sparky sounds like the socket is broken would a good idea to get a new one Screwfix are doing the better quality MK double sockets for about £4.50 at the moment
Thanks Mr Sword I was going to suggest that though it would still leave you with a fuse box without an RCD which is the best protection. -
Hardwired is where there is a thin fuse wire which burns out if there is to much current going through the cable i.e. someone is getting electricuted. MCB's Mini circuit Breakers trip if the same thing happens and have a switch on them so you can easily reset them. On top of this all new fuse boxes (which maybe a reason to change your fuse box) have RCD's Residual Current Devices which work on the difference between the feed and return current these are connected to banks of MCB's and are the ones that make the whole house go dark when they go.
Yes a sparky can certy someone elses work

Is anyone going Thursday? I will be there from about 4:30

If anyone is free tonight,tonights show is **El Baňo del Papa (The Pope's Toilet)
**Trailer: http://youtu.be/kH40Hdvncks
Also we have just issued our programme for the coming year

Fox,
Good start the first thing I have to advise you is that any work on an electrical system has by law to be carried out by a qualified electrician there are exemptions but what you are proposing is not covered by them.
Your fuse box will be rated at 60 amp because within safe parameters that is what the maximum the cable feeding your house can take not the total of all the fuses/ MCB's
Yes run the cellar as a ring main - you will need an electrican to certify the work.
No don't replace the fuse box unless it is a very old 25 years plus hard wired box
Any other queries feel free to PM me

I did a fair bit of research and the Fakro ones are the better that the equivalent Velux. They are plastic though
