Its going to be a bit difficult to demonstrate those things on radio.

Anyway 5 is wrong, a screwdriver is not the best lever to remove
skirting with.

I suddenly got several messages from people last week saying they'd
seen me on the telly. I was somewhat puzzled, and none had said
what programme or what I was doing on telly. Anyway, it turned out
to be Watchdog, who came along to one of our repair events some
weeks ago. They were featuring a family who were trying to repair
a number of broken things. I was not directly involved - the
repairer who organised the visit handled them all, but I was in
the background mending a Henry vacuum cleaner.

It would have been nice if they'd actually covered the diagnostic
and repair process, but of course, they didn't really do that -
the programme isn't aimed at a technical audience.
