the gist is that polybushes are generally harder, so give a harsher ride, but more precise handling, I think.
they're also a damn sight more expensive than standard ones.

That's what I meant, not very practical for this application, I wasn't the one who suggested using the fine threads. Sorry for being a pedant but over
90% of recent posts on here have written 'loose' when they meant 'lose' and it gets tedious, reading it twice to make sure. But it's not important. ;-)Martin

not to mention "break" when they mean "brake".
I also see "mute point" more than I see "moot point" these days. I think I've seen it a few times in here.

nice. It's got one that annoys me that some pillock on the wireless used yesterday: "second of all".
Well then, keep quiet about it. ;-)

Well, if you're mute I suppose you have to point!
I just hate the idiots who keep insisting 'I know' Clearly they do not.

upset a kid today who said "I know", so told her to get on with it, gave her the drywipe board pen (not allowed to call them white boards anymore, upsets some folk....) and sat down at the back of the class. Funnily enough she didn't know, and the class then told her she didn't know, should shut up, sit down and let me get on.....
Nice one,
It's those interviewees on the radio, almost every other phrase is 'you know', actually more likely "y'no". I get fed up with shouting at the radio "No, I don't know, that's why the interviewer asked you"
No offence etc. taken. I should have noticed but my fingers got carried away.
