    That is ' the British government's way ' No thought at all for the ' blue collar ' workers . Just like the French " let them eat cake " . Please excuse language ( used at that time ) , I worked in a ' foundry ' . The government ordered tthe company to sack . ! white workers , so the ( untrained ) black Packistan labourers would get better pay . An, Englishman, A Welshman, A Hungarian, A Polishman And A white Pakistani . Definitely " colour predujice " by the English government. spacesailor

    The cost ( interest ) of the National Dept , is looking bleak for future generations . " 2022-24 year is $22.6 billion interest , on $923 billion dept " . And we thought our house Mortgage was bad ! . spacesailor

    I disagree! Labor party has ' consistently ' reduced the " National Dept ' only too have it increased, whenever the opposition is in power . No new ' enterprise ' In Queensland they make " aluminium " ingots ! . ( Gladstone I think ) . Instead of exporting the raw materials. Isn't that ' forward thinking . spacesailor

    onetrack The coolant doesn't go into the inlet as it's attached to the exhaust manifold . what it does so very quickly, is to blow all the coolantout of the engine & radiator. it happened to my bro' -in -laws three year old 5 cylinder diesel Ranger . Not a happy owner . spacesailor

    Piaggio Avanti. I think, a little above NSW " age pension " money. And it doesn't compare to a " home built " HummelBird. 6 litres pH fuel , plus one litre of oil , for two oil changes . spacesailor

    It seems Ford have a problem with the exhaust gases burning through the water cooling wall. The first sign is when your radiator water is turned into steam . spacesailor

    Even " tubeless " tyres can have a proper repair done . After the tyre is demounted the " vulcanising patch " is applied inside the tyre . A lot of places will tell you the plug is as good as a " vulcanised patch " repair , which is B S . spacesailor

    I filled in the questionnaire and will be expecting a phone call, to answer all my questions. They said .( unless the wife answers ) . What other than " silicone solar cell " panel , is there ? . spacesailor

    Power, still costs $ 1000 pa . Bank interest ( on the outlay ) of $4000 is $ 80 . ( 2% ) ( St George retirement account is 0.14% interest ) a pittance. There , you can see the dilemma of no rebates for having a lower electrify bill . without the gas bill being taken into account. I tried to " $ 4000x0.14% = 5.6 " what is 5.6 ? . spacesailor

    " Don't worry about getting old " . As I am 83 this year ( 6 months to go ) I doubt if there is any chance of ' panels ' repaying For themselves. With solar I would not worry about running the AC . Or my stick welder . My take is/was cost of panels V interest of savings . $ 4000 from savings at 2% pa ( $80 interest ), saving $ 1,000 pa from electric bill. spacesailor

    I did read it , but had to " google " for the story . yes " WSA " should be either Badgerys or Duigan . ( it was on Badgeries land ) They both have more prestige than an obscure female pilot . spacesailor

    " bills are not that high " That's the problem! . Electricity bills less than $ 250 don't get the government handout . spacesailor

    " sorry never heard of her before coming to Aus, only ' WSA name " .( West-Sydney-Airport ) First time I heard " Nancy-bird-walton " was the airport naming . I think it should have been named after the first Australian aircraft builder & pilot . spacesailor

    I did look into the on lines quotes , but stopped at " provide full address " . I get lots of ' unsolicited phone calls & mail ' now , no reason. To invite more . But thank you . octave . spacesailor
