Ever been told by your boss, 'Don't fret about your salary, get on with your job'?

Here's how a 'Top Boss' behaved.

Thames Water upthread.
I don't think Thames Water employ many people to do the real work.
For north west London, (Mogden region in TWspeak), nearly all the grunt work is subbed out to Lanes.
the 'Thames Water' liveried trucks/sewage gulpers/ etc usually have a small sign 'Operated by Lanes Group on behalf of Thames Water'.

I presume this is the normal story of subcontracting the very essence of the company, keep the water flowing, so as to minimise costs to maximise bonusses.

The Royal Navy cannot muster such an extensive Task Force.
I would suggest either the Faroes or Rockall,
or, if we dont have any serviceable Blue Water vessels, Lundy.

We could give all the minors a private education,
(not that we want them to turn out that way).

Sunak to put UK Defence spending on War Footing
Will we be planting potatoes in Hyde Park just like WW2?

Andy Street was not too bad for a Tory

I've never understood how someone could rise to the top of the John Lewis Partnership, and be a Tory,
or,
how a Tory could be allowed to rise to the top of the JLP.

The RAF have already said they don't have a secure enough airfield

Huh?

£++?
Tumi have a 'Golf' range.

Tell me it was a self-built yurt?

House celebrations after the Ukrainian aid vote goes through.

We might be venturing into the Linseed/'boiled Linseed' discussion.
Linseed oil does not polymerise that quickly as it absorbs Oxygen. As the surface skins over as the double bonds in the unsaturated fatty acids react with Oxygen, forming simple epoxides, the rate of absorbtion of Oxygen slows down. True 'Linseed oil' putty takes years to fully cure.
Boiled Linseed oil, is not just heated, that would cause some dimers, trimers, but also contains heavy metal compounds that act as catalysts to the polymerising and cross linking.

An initial thought suggests that the base might be Linseed oil putty, (low hazard, slow to cure).
The 2nd component could be a suitable amount of Boiled Linseed, (containing the heavy metal compounds), which when mixed with the base will give the required skin formation to take layers of paint within a couple of days, depending upon temperature, (especially overnight temperature), and incident UV.

That Hodgson's product, (which doesn't seem to be on their website), contains 'drying oil', typically Linseed oil, rather than being the non-setting, (i.e non-curing), butyl based 'putty'.

Any cartridge silicone you can buy will have poor long term adhesion to unprimed Crittall windows.
You are better off with a tube of modified silicone. Support a firm that supports your favourite sport and treat yourself to some Soudal Fix-all.

Putty is chalk crushed into linseed oil.

I'm astonished any professional specifier would still be using putty today.

how you get qualia?

Exotic vegetable section on Ocado?

Good to have a reminder,
and,
to see how many brands they own.

bitd we had to contend with this.

One possible suggestion:
The Coop in Ruislip High Street closed due to managerial incompetence over shoplifting.
The Coop do not not allow staff time off to appear in court, thus the Coop seldom prosecute.
The losses were so great, reportedly trolleys loaded wth joints of meat, the site became loss making and the Coop just left.

£900 posted.

I should think so.

Engine-swapped hearse?

Is he more of a Twiglet guy?
Hoola hoops?

Well done, rounding up that wild lawn mower.

I've not visited that section of the Staines marina.

Aah, so these are the budget/Chad Valley/Amstrad drones?
