I have a mess to clean up, one of my baked spuds went bang in the oven.

For some reason that has had me laughing.

All I can suggest is that you look at the second image on the web page and see how the dimensions given match your one.

I will have another look tomorrow, and take some photos, with the steel measurer next to the hinge.

M&S Tempura Prawns (3 packs for £10) are amazing.

Lincoln was cold today - I was there with my 17yo for an Open Day at Lincoln University (engineering).

It involved walking about 3 miles between stations, etc., which is more than I've done in total since the 23rd of September due to my operation.

Tired now and I'm sure my legs will be sore tomorrow, but I'm in Manchester for the World Track Finals with my 13yo on Sunday afternoon so can sit for a while.

Our oldest resident laid the wreath. 95 next he is. Chestful of medals including OBE and Legion d'Honneur.
He was in the Signals Corps , landed at D day and told me "It took us a full year after that to get to Hamburg, and it was a hard year." His unit sent the signal of the German surrender.

My grandfather was in the Signals.

Where do you reckon you'll finish?

My grandfather was in the Signals.

My grandfathers fought on opposing sides in WW1, but on the same side in WW2...

Mum's dad was a sergeant in the Belgian army during WW1 in charge of a machine gun and team. In WW2 he was a member of the Resistance, involved in smuggling information to the Allies.

Dad's dad was a rifleman in Pilsudski's Legions (Austro-Hungarian Army) but ended the war as a Captain, but in the stockade, because he refused to swear an oath of allegiance to the Kaiser after the Legions were transferred to the German army following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In WW2, he was a Colonel in the Polish army.

My grandfather was in the Signals.

I had an uncle who was a mule driver, and another in the infantry, with German surname and language skills, who later was an air raid and blackout warden during WWII. He was truly a great uncle.

I know it is Saturday night and you are all enjoying yourselves, but can you help me decide on the right size bracket I need to repair my window.

https://www.handlesandhinges.co.uk/24-top-hung-upvc-window-hinges/

In the above link for 24" window hinge, none of the dimensions given are 24 inches or 600mm. It does say that hinges for 24 inch windows are 609mm, but does not explain which dimension that is. Am I being dim? (shut it Potsy! )

I will try and purchase one locally, but would need to know the size when I start ringing round to track one down on Monday.

Does the 24 inch apply to the width of the window? As TVC said see how your dimensions compare with those in the diagram .

Given I've not been capable of riding a bike since September ... the derny's for me. First attempt on a bike is next weekend.

A phone call to my GP tomorrow morning, they are good at giving a same day appointment when I explain the pain and the fact I have a history.
