NHS dental charges.

<10 minutes for check up and a tiny corner filling @ £75.30

Not had a filling for a long time, didn't realise how much they cost.

If your poor it's free, that if you can find an NHS dentist

Evening folks a tad windy...as in its been 70mph, looking at the forecast its slowly easing ie 65mph by 7pm and 55mmph by 8pm whoopydoo! I have a young chinese rowan tree which was thrashing around alarmingly and much as i didnt want to I thinned out some of the foliage to reduce wind pressure. It has beautiful scarlet autumn colour and now it will have not quite so much foliage but at least branches havent been snapped havent done any pruning before in 70mph winds roll on 9pm only 50mph or so

I just need to find one willing to work without anaesthetics or painkillers. And not be charged for them not using them.

The dentist once quoted me £300 for fillings and root canals.
I asked "how much without painkillers"? He said £200.
I asked "how much without anaesthic"?
He said £50.
I said "OK.......I'll send the wife in tomorrow"

An hour, or so, this afternoon spent fabricating and repairing some tools.
Firstly, I set about repairing a bearing puller that I broke on my Montesa trials bike some time ago.
Next up was to make a fork installation tool for BSA's. I already had the threaded blocks, which I'd found in my 'box of bits' last week.
Both simple cutting, grinding and welding jobs, but satisfying nonetheless.
