    BB the same thing happened to the RV just as I had sorted loads of stocks, he was diagnosed diabetic. I could've killed him. But instead I just gave all the (16kg) of sugar away and some of the pasta and now feed him tiny side helpings of carbs.
    I cant understand why a gas cooker won't light with a match.The ignition is just a spark to light the gas - mine works fine with matches- is a Cannon just over a year old. Maybe try yours with the mains off and use the longer matches, and try holding it right away at the back of the grill? Or buy one of those igniter thingies that work off batteries.

    I want to ask questions on solar power - what forum would be best? Or does anybody in here know anything about it?

    I think the green board would be best Mar. I've read a bit about it on there. To be honest I do not have the foggiest about the whole system. Wish I could understand it.

  • Of course you can come with us, although I don't think we would get much rowing done because we'd all be laughing too much, Oh Joy!!!!!Cheers Lyn xxx.

    Perhaps we could tow a little dinghy behind for The Prince and the Dockling, after all if we're going on an adventure, I can't see them staying behind can you?

    The researchers connected to the programme QI have a website and Twitter account and posted the following in the last few minutes that...

    Rovers sold in Dubai come with an edible desert survival guide, which has nutritional value close to that of a cheeseburger.

    2 reasons why a gas cooker may not light with a match:

    1) Some have a safety cut-out - no 'leccy, no gas comes through either.

    2) The gas is pumped by electricity; once what's in the pipes has gone & the pressure has dropped, no more is coming through. If the pumping station was also hit by the power cut, that may be what was going on.
