Can someone tell me the official name of this type of bolt please, I'm sure it must have one.

Where have all the old fashioned hardware stores gone?...the nice man in a brown overall & a pencil behind his ear would know what I meant by 'twisty, bolty thingy' (even if it hadn't been invented).

Poor Robinia can't access the site at all.I'm totally cheesed off with it .It's a complete and utter balls up .
All this faffing to get to the next page .I realise now you have to type a -2 onto the end your URL to turn over .
And this is progress ?
Thanks jno and kit, i've forwarded your emails to Robi as she's also stuck - damned site, yummy brandy!!
Yoohoo Jude ..yes we seem to be on the third page of the thread now so you have to type -3 on the end of the URL .In spite of making the text bigger as a whole on my screen with Kits tip - the answer box text is still tiny when I type it in .
I'm losing the will to live .I'm going to watch New Tricks .Toodlepip for now .
I liked it better when the pages were numbered.
This new site is probably so high tech we can't even begin to grasp it. We're asking the wrong questions. Or something.

OK thanks to jno I'm here, but i cannot seem to type 3 or 4 after the url cos the url goes blue - so then what?

Well I'd like to say YAY bit it's a big fat NOOOOO...thank you shaney I've arrived via your shute...but it's horrible. I could write a list of complaints already, I'm squinting & I haven't read all your posts yet. I didn't get any notifications by the way. Bah! Where are the hammers? This place needs a woman's touch.
I sent you a shute also Robi!
Question Author
So you did, thanks neti, but it didn't show as a clickable link & shaneys did...your shute needed a bread paper to make it go faster, haha.
This writing is a bit teeny & why can't we edit? Is it a case of get it right first time or confirm everyone's opinions & make a complete c0ck up :o)
