A couple of drawbacks with T&G are 1) as the wood matures it shrinks and can eventually open up small gaps allowing rain in. 2) Plenty of nooks & crannies for mite to find a home in. My choice would be ply. If you want to tart up the front there's always the option of applying your material of choice over the top of it. Back & sides of the loft can be felted to help preserve.

I'd stipulate he has to sign on every fortnight to prove he's out of work (that goes to all fat-cat payouts too)

Shame, would have loved to see him take them into the Sky Bet Championship.

If you get a return of 10p for every £1 spent on your pigeons your doing well. Its not about money!

Nice one Pete.

Maybe something to do with air temperature being the same as sea temperature, equalling each other out. As you say it is unusual especially this time of year, we normally get full low cloud cover when there's any east in the wind but yesterday had broken cloud and good visibility.

From what I've seen Frank the wing doesn't noticeably droop (only happens on one wing), the best way to describe it is the wing joint goes stiff, they can extend the wing but cant beat it strong enough to make flight.

If your a member of pigeon chat do a search on Stuart Wilcox re wing lock.

Best wishes on ticking that box this year walter.
