Looks like Sunday could be another bad day

Loose nuts!!
Use lock nuts or nylock nuts to solve the problem in future.

Yes, nylock nuts are one of the most under-rated inventions of the 20th century

Far better than threadlock or faffing about with locknuts.

Great tip BH!

Its getting really bad down here >

Finished removing the remains of my 80cm dish off the side of the house earlier this afternoon ready to be re refitted when the wind dies down. All my dishes are now stored safely in the shed out of the wind & will stay there until i can get round to re-installing them on the garden wall

I'm just hoping my Shed doesn't blow away, It would be just my luck :roflmao:

Hope no one loses their dishes over the next few days.
