Dampness wouldn't cause a fault like that which lasts so long. My first
instinct is a dud plug lead, which improves a bit with heat. My other
possibility is a valve guide that is allowing oil down it to foul a
plug. Final possibility is the condenser in the distributor might be
getting weak, which might have enough in it to spark across a narrow
plug gap but struggle with a wider one or a higher resistance lead.
That is not easy to diagnose, but as they are cheap, you have the option ...

The first check I'd do, is to wait until it's dark and then have a look
under the bonnet while the engine's running. Look for any sparks
tracking around the leads and distributor cap.

Dynamite is New Weapon in Battle to Save Forest
By Craig Brown
v
WHEN it comes to protecting the environment, dynamite is not one of
the materials that comes to mind.

But yesterday RSPB Scotland began a unique approach to conservation by
using explosives to blow up a number of trees in the ancient Abernethy
forest.

The project, which involved blowing up the crowns of nine trees, is
part of an attempt to increase the amount of large-volume dead wood in
the forest.

When trees die, their function within the forest ecosystem is far from
over, and they retain a crucial role in the health and productivity of
the woodland.

In fact, in a natural forest ecosystem free from human interference,
between 20 and 30 per cent of the trees will either be dead or dying.

The R.S.P.B permits hunting!

In the papers today,a report stating that at Langstone harbour in
Dorset,the rspb is actually issuing hunting licences!WHAT!I hear you
say.Well,i believe it.Apparently this has been going on for 30
years.The warden says its because to police the hunting would be too
difficult,so by issuing licences,it can be better monitored..In the
same way Churchill ought to have issued visas to the Germans in
1940,because defending the country was too difficult!

I bet these hunting licences bring in a pretty penny,and as they are
only hunting common ducks,why not?
So,common ducks dont need protecting then?Then again,its well known
that the rspb doesnt include the Red Grouse on its protected species
list.Why,rich toffs pay thousands to shoot them!

I am still waiting for an answer to my letter to the RSPB regarding
the licensing of shoots on lands we, the public paid for to protect
wildlife.
av
Many RSPB employees have been working overtime since the recent press
coverage claiming "some reserves have inherited shooting rights"!!
Lets not confuse the issue. The recent revelations concern the RSPB
licensing shoots on land owned outright, you don't need a licence from
the RSPB on land with inherited shooting rights.

It's a CON and has obviously been going on for some time. We have
every right to be concerned.

Given the fact that this strain of HN51 is what is killing humans
already and highly pathogenic, there seems to be more concern for
factory farming than our own health!

" Farmers are on red alert, but yesterday they said the discovery of
more wild swan carcasses did not make the situation worse, as avian
flu still has not infiltrated domestic flocks"

The poultry sector in Britain could be wiped out by a "catalogue of
disasters" culminating in the latest bird flu outbreak, an industry
leader has warned.

Yesterday, officials were investigating more dead swans discovered in
and around the Abbotsbury Swannery in Dorset, after three found on
Thursday tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of the disease.

The results of the latest tests are expected over the weekend.
