Assuming your scooters have 12V batteries Optimate have always been my go to for motorbike chargers. There are a few different models but most will automatically switch to trickle charge. They also come with quick connect leads so you don't have to go under the seat every time. You can buy...

I'd defiantly go for something non locking with a sub 3" blade so it can be carried freely outside of the home. Fixed and lock knifes can only be carried with "good reason" and I wouldn't want to risk having it confiscated if an overly eager police officer gets funny. Do you want something more...

I work in mechanical engineering. I can do pretty much anything I did in the office working from home. They think productivity went up when we left the office as there was less distractions and all decisions are being formalised via email so we don't tend to discuss the same thing over and over...

Potatoes, Tomatoes, Peppers & aubergines are all common nightshades. Some parts of the plants can be toxic but like many plants there is differences between the different varieties. Same with the Apiaceae family which contains both Carrots and Parsley (Edible) and Poison Hemlock (Deadly). Its...

Yew berry flesh is actually edible and quite sweet. The stone in the middle and the rest of the tree however is highly toxic so its a high risk option.

There's quite a few poisonous berries, Nightshade (of which there are a few different varieties some poisonous some not) and Lords and Ladies are the most well known (and poisonous) ones.

Dark rum, Brandy or Bourbon would be my first choices for this. Though I'd choose full fat Cherry Coke over Cherry Pepsi Max.

Osmo oil do a "raw matt" oil which gives good protection without changing the colour much and without that shiny finish. Whatever you use is likely to change the colour a bit. Just make sure that the wood is really clean first, I normally wipe down with some white spirit then let it dry before...

Just use whatever kiln dried hardwoods you can get locally, most areas have plenty of local suppliers just make sure its been kiln dried as you want the low moisture content. Its normally a mix of different hardwoods depending on what they have in stock, you can pay more for a certain type oak...

Its clear that you live to your means. I'm a professional engineer living in Chipping Sodbury near Bristol so not the cheapest area to live but also not super expensive. It feels like we are slightly above average compared to our friends. Our household income is 43k and I feel comfortable...

As long as you can control the bike then you should pass the CBT, you might not be able to borrow one of the test centre bikes if you need any adaptions made. Its worth talking to the test centre to see what adjustments can be made to make things easier for you. You could look at fitting a...

This ticks all the boxes for a genuine EV replacement for a 1200 speed triple, looks great as well. I hate to think how much it will cost though, most EV motorcycles seem to be around twice the cost as the ICE equivalent so I wouldn't be surprised to see this cost at least 30k which puts it well...

Whilst it would never replace my big V twin cruiser an electric bike makes make sense as a commuter bike, I've always owned 2 bikes so having an electric and ICE bike would give me the best of both worlds. I looked into it seriously a few years ago when I brought my last commuter bike and was of...

The Weber is probably the better bbq but won't be as versatile with only 2 cooking zones. Tell her you need to save up the extra for the E-310 ;)

I'd look at at least a 3 burner as it allows you to set a cool zone in the middle of 2 hot zones for even indirect cooking. I wouldn't worry about buying one with a griddle plate as there's lots of aftermarket options which you can just rest on the grills I use a procook reversible griddle on...

This link gives a good overview of the differences. Not that I'm trying to plug riverside its just the store I've always used. wowbbq is meant to be good for online sales as well. https://www.riversidegardencentre.co.uk/blog/weber-57cm-barbecues-differences/

Ive got a 57 bar-b-kettle without the one touch system and its a pain to set the dials to the right temperature and clean it out so I'd defiantly recommend the one touch system. I dont think its worth getting the master touch unless you really want the gbs system. I just use normal cast iron...

Another reason to got for the 57 over the 47 is there is a much wider range of accessories that fit the 57. There's no real advantage to the 47 as it doesn't really use any less fuel to get up to temperature.

Can anybody recommend a knife block set which includes slots for a sharpening steel, cleaver, boning knife, carving knife and meat fork. I've been looking at the following Wurstof Classic set but it seems to be out of stock everywhere...

It looks like both the “C” word and “B” word are going to be affecting prices and supply chains for the considerable future and most of the media and major supermarkets are predicting some food shortages in the new year. Please don’t use this post to argue about the political aspect of this as...
