I’ve not used my Amazon account for a while, in the meantime I’ve changed phone numbers. Just tried to get into my account, obviously can’t receive the WhatsApp/SMS code, site directs me to Customer Service, guess what, I can’t access Customer Service until I log in. I can’t log in, because my phone number has changed…. and so on.

Any ideas? Many thanks

I’m planning to fish large fish baits primarily for ray, with a chance of conger and bass. Not necessarily going to keep what I catch, so dongle rig seems like a good approach.

Question is, any ways of doing it without buying (expensive) heavy braid? I have a load of rusty split rings from lures, so that’s that bit sorted. I have old braid of about 40lb bs, and also some paracord which was out in the sun for a long time and is a bit rotted but still pretty strong. Could either of these work?

Many thanks!

This is a post to get ideas how to help my elderly mother manage a tricky situation.

Her neighbour is harassing her, and the form that this harassment takes is interfering with her property and its boundaries, for example, leaving bins in her garden, removing potted plants from her border which adjoins the neighbours garden, claiming that a plant my mother planted many years ago is actually hers and in her garden, and claiming that she has no title to part of her garden.

My mother has instructed her property insurers, who are slow to process claims, so in the meantime she has also instructed a solicitor to send a letter requesting that the neighbour respect the property boundaries and stop trespassing.

There is good evidence of where the historical boundary has always been, both in the title, corroborated by photos on Google earth going back to around 2008.

However, it seems that the neighbour has now instructed a fencing contractor to build a fence where she claims the boundary is. Work has not started yet.

The solicitor my mother has instructed has advised that it isn’t worth fighting over a small piece of land; however, this does not take account of the fact that if the neighbour is allowed to build the fence on my mother’s property, this will not be the end of the story, and the neighbour will keep chipping away. For example, the neighbour also disputes the boundaries to the rear of the property and claims a right of way.

The lawyers seem to have a blinkered view and only see the property law issues, whereas she needs someone to help manage and resolve the situation, and the property law angle is only a part of that.

My mother is a vulnerable elderly person with health issues, she is very stressed by the whole situation, and her nearest relatives are several hundred miles away. This is an English law question.

Any advice? Many thanks 🙏🏼

Does anyone know where to source a spare spool for this reel in the UK? Many thanks!

I have two small parts, a brass collar and an aluminium spindle, fused together due to galvanic corrosion. Could I unfuse them electrolytically, by putting them in an electrolyte and putting a small voltage across them? If that is potentially worth a try, how would I start to figure out which side should be positive and negative respectively? I don’t want to dissolve either part, but the aluminium spindle is less replaceable than the brass collar
