If you put the ULR in brackets http://joe.bloggs most readers should
cope with split lines.

This is a test of that idea which if it works is a good un:

I read directly from Google. Normally they are good with such things
but they have suffered a few glitches lately. Now I'm off to the B&Q
site to examine their cheapos. Speaking of which there is a chop saw
in the Argos site for £15. It has a more powerful motor than the one
I'm using at work which is ace for anything up to 4x3 -I think. I
wonder what those will cut.

Today I was talking a man who very recently was a manager in a B&Q
Warehouse. I asked him about the PP Pro range, which appears good value and
decently made. He said he said many of the drill are made by Roybi, a very
good make, and all PP Pro machines are made by good makers, that is why they
have the confidence to give a guarantee of 3 years. I asked about returns
because of failure of any description (not because Daddy didn't want one for
his birthday), and he said no less than Bosch and the likes. They will
honour the guarantee if a journeyman professional uses it, but not for
continuous site work, or any work on a site or industrial installation. He
said in most cases no one asks, unless the machine clearly has been abused.

Since when has Ryobi been "a very good make"???
Unless you mean a good make for the price and origin (PRC)?
IMHO Ryobi are way down the scale, certainly near the bottom.
Very good makes are Makita, Panasonic, Festool, Metabo etc.
When the Ryobi factories are churning out millions of tools per year
for a cost of less than $10 US per unit, it's not hard to give a 3
year warranty.
