no they dont have to supply only 1. The standard charge is £140 quid for a phone line. Dont mention internet until the phone line is installed as that is covered by separate law and they can charge you mega bucks for it.

Sorry Fred, the devil is in the detail!!! The wording is “ If you only have a calling plan with BT, the standard connection charge is normally £140.”

The normally bit is the painful part if there is in sufficient cable to provide the service.

can't see up to the gates at the end of the drive tonight .... been like it all day ... not conducive to doing a great deal out doors ... brass monkeys are all hibernating ATM ..... forecast's not a great deal better for a few days yet :( ..... Tuesday looks set for fine and dry ... ideal lathe unloading weather :giggle: some sun would be nice too

Well, we all know what you'll be doing then!

Figuring out where to slot it in one of your boxes!

already had that sorted Alex .... and cleared some time ago, for one that didn't happen :( ..... today however :giggle: john arrived at half one .... a good twenty years younger than i was expecting !! early/ Mid 30s and a real nice bloke with it ... liked him a lot and will keep an eye on his items for sale.
ran it up on the truck, 'fore I lifted it off and runs sweet enough :) and went through the gear box / feeds .. also discovered that although it's primarily an imperial machine ... it'll also do metric threads and has a back gear changeover to accomplish that :cool: which was a bonus
'Fraid there ain't that many pix guys .... been a busy afternoon ......:rolleyes:

WP_20201201_15_31_30_Pro.jpg

and what there are ain't great ... been a dull old afternoon, after a lovely start to the day ...
splash guard had to go .... wants straightening out a bit anyway ... will sort it and give it a coat of grey ....
WP_20201201_15_46_40_Pro.jpg

can go back on when I've more room for it
lifted it part way in as a whole .. COG's a long way down the bed on this ... so went in the rest of the way on a roller at the tail stock end, with a few juggles / shunts ....
WP_20201201_16_40_44_Pro.jpg

ran out of daylight quick today .....but it's in
WP_20201201_16_41_02_Pro.jpg


got some sort of copying/taper turning set up on the back of it so kept it out a bit, but needed to for the full cross slide travel and the chip tray to go all the way back in ..... better pix tomorrow .. was black by the time i'd tidied up .... wants a bloody good clean ...... lifting lugs were also very useful (y)
