BBC4 touched on this in the recent 'Fabric of Britain' documentary dealing with embroidery. The programme opened with an explanation about how in medieval times the finest exponents in embroidery in Europe were the English and cited, among other examples, the Bayeux tapestry. What, I thought...

Another supplier worth looking at is Arc Euro — site here: http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/default.aspx Site includes useful PDFs on readying the machines for operation and copies of various reviews/articles from the model engineering press. I've a British lathe and a German mill so I've...

Oh, and by the way, the stuff in my earlier post about Anglo-Saxon, Norse etc invasions being 'cultural enrichments' was sarcastic. This is the kind of garbage the pro-immigration lobby have been posting in recent weeks. Like I say, they were holocausts.

You're right, 'multiculturalism' didn't exist as an explicit policy in imperial days. But there were early echoes of it in the imperial propaganda dispensed to the subject peoples of.the Empire. Whatever their colour or creed, whatever their location from the great plains of Canada to the South...

There is a sort of hypocrisy in somone like John Cleese, currently resident in the USA and speaking in Australia, complaining about how London is no longer English. That's because those countries are among a host of examples of the 'beneficial' effects of European mass migration. So-called...

Depends where you are, I suppose. Round my way (Islington) most public housing seems to be given over to Moslems (Somalis and Arabs) and West Africans nowadays. They've only appeared in the last 10-15 years and they always arrive with a gaggle of kid plus a bun in the oven. Sure, there's a...

I don't know of figures that provide that kind of resolution. The 80 million figure I quoted is based on EU projections (actually 78.925 million) here: http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=STAT/11/80&type=HTML What's generally agreed among demographers is that the birth...

Sheesh, what a bunch of rabbit. To those people who believe that the mass immigration policies of the past 60 years have deeply damaged this country it makes more sense to keep your powder dry and register your disgust electorally. With a lame Tory government shackled to the Liberal Democrats...

Yes, between, say, 1960 and 1990 the ME show was a fairly major entertainment event in the London calendar. It got wide coverage on TV and the press and even Royal Family members attended on occasion. Above all, it was widely advertised on the Underground so both Londoners and Home County...

Yup, that was the Model Engineering Exhibition held at Wembley and later at Olympia. Nowadays it's held at Sandown Park Racecourse in early December — see here: http://www.modelengineershow.co.uk/editorial/page.asp?p=658 A warning though. It used to be a very broadly based show including...

This, or a variant of it, seems to be a universal scam among jewellers. Being an old guy, the watch I wear for everyday use is an analogue-face/battery-driven Seiko I bought in 1985. In the 24 years since then EVERY time I've presented this watch to a jeweller for a battery change they've...

It's a fair point that many people who would like to donate/wear a poppy may have had trouble getting one. Up to maybe 10 years ago there used to be many street sellers around in the week running up to Remembrance Day. I suppose there was then still a whole generation of WWII war veterans active...

SCART2-SV Don't have this TV but this input is almost certainly S-Video (sometimes referred to as SVHS).

Should be OK. I bought a plug-in digital power testing device recently from a certain high street store that can't be named. Putting this in circuit with my desktop showed that the computer was using 125 Watts at rest. I didn't test it under load but I doubt that the power consumed under load...

What's your aerial setup? Every time you add a signal receiving device to an aerial circuit (without adding amplification) you're more than halving the effective off-air signal fed to each device. If, in that situation, the TV has a more sensitive tuner, it may continue to operate satisfactorily...

Only an S-VHS VCR outputs an S-Video signal. If you've got an ordinary VCR the only connections you can use to an analogue TV card are RF (via the aerial output-type connector) or composite (via red/white/yellow phonos).

Sounds like the STB only has RF pass-through i.e. all it does is allow you to share the off-air transmitted RF signal with another device e.g. a TV RF input. Trouble is, when you share an unamplified RF signal like this each device is only getting part of the RF signal. The portion now being fed...
