Bushey Crossbow Murders - Neighbour recorded live incidents. Plus, unseen footage?
A massive departure from my normal videos. This is my take, as a neighbour, on the tragic events in Bushey, Hertfordshire over the past 48 hours.
I was recording a video in my garden when the incident occurred and caught a lot of the early responses live.
My prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims and survivors of this tragedy.

Splendid! Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
Breaking bad
I have this exact same problem! This was so helpful! Thankyou:)
Loctite wont work with heavy torque like on a manual shifter.
Good man ❤
Thank you for this 👊🏾 my 'garden/yard' is smaller than your extra space 😂 I was thinking of attaching a smaller pole to the top of the wall - shoulder height - but because of the size I need ideas of how to zigzag it. For your pole, can you not drill 2 small hook eyes either side? Have a great weekend 🌞 28 today 🤗 UK x
Very useful video - but please, please don't flush acid down the pipes without neutralising it first with some baking soda or ammonia!
Great stuff 👏
Awesome worked! Save my weekend - thanks so much! Clicking suddenly started while nothing was on (scary). Then turned off the breaker, cleaned the around the spark plug. Didn’t work. Then turned everything on, ignited all the burners, hit the breaker , let all the burners run on simmer/low for 30 minutes without power, turned off the burners, turned power back on and NO noise!
3 out of 4 hobs are clicking - but i think its a fault with the ignition button itself
Legend! Wish I had seen this before dragging 4 sheets of 18mm thick hard plywood into my house. Will try these tips for getting them out the back to be cut part

One site correction, the actual and requested by NASA and still use by NASA is the AG seven. Basically it’s a standard length pen with a push button instead of a cap.
I stand corrected. Thanks for letting me know Warren. I'm always happy to improve the old knowledge base. Do you have either this model or the AG Seven?
@@essentialhandyman you’re welcome. I do not have the AG seven because it is very expensive, about $75 but I do have a lot of experience with the space bullet along withthe cap o magic models. I’ve only had one issue with the bullet pen, that being that if you’re not careful, it is very easy to have the grip fall off as it’s just on, but this can be solved with some glue. Only complaint I have with the bullet pens that they’re so small I lose them easily. Of the standard bullet pens, I’ve had four of them and I’ve lost three moves, but they are fantastic pens
Where can you get the pole-telescopic even better? Where would I pur chase something like that? Thank you
There's a decent one in the video description. Is that what you meant?
Thanks

excellent voiceover! perfect levels! 🎉
Many thanks. I appreciate your feedback.
Clicked on the link for the product you have used but its not the same, its a very low strength, can't find a 32% anywhere.
The product in the link is the one I've used for years and has always cleaned my limescale off first time. I only used the Max Strength one (the 32% one) because I couldn't find the one I usually use. Yes 32% is very strong but in my experience, the one in the link has always cleaned my bowl 100%, just as well as the Max Strength one used in the video. Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
Соседи очень рады такому приспособлению))))

Great tip! Greetings from The Kentucky, the Bluegrass State.
Thanks Jeff. I think I'd like Kentucky, as I love country music and I know there's a similarity between bluegrass and country. In fact, I hope to go to Nashville in the next few years.

If you tip Sheetrock up like that to get a grip you’ll likely break off corners. Try the Troll with wheels for sheet goods and no above the shoulder grip.
I don't mind a little rolling of the corners, as the boards will be taped and jointed anyway, which will cover those inperfections.
My Jenn-air works the for the first part but once I turn off the stove, it started clicking again. I couldn’t clean it because there’s no way to shut off my stove, the switch that you have is no where in sight 😫
I think you may be in the states, is that right? I've heard you don't have switched sockets out there, so localised isolation would be a problem. If you have a main fuse board, you could turn off the cooker from the main switch, double checking it's safe of course, and do the cleaning with the cooker isolated from the mains. Would that work for you?
Update? Still working?
Yup. Still working although one comment I do have is that if you wind the handle too hard, it does make the drill and therefore the drill bit deflect a little bit.
@@essentialhandyman So slow and easy. Got it. Many thanks.
@@whoDatBeDare exactly. Cheers.

What a small world! I bought the Fiskars Xact weed puller on the strength of your review 😳
What a terrible site😢. Thanks for sharing buddy 👍
They’re some sick individuals around for sure. Stay safe my friend.
Excellent! Thanks, I couldn't convince my wife to spend our savings on a new roof covering for our garage (my office) but at the same time I don't want the water to get in next winter (it started coming in the one just gone..) Cheers for this!

Don’t really need to know how the weather is, how your work shop is packed, or most importantly how not to do it, maybe just do a shorter video of the best way to do it 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. Maybe I'll do a 'shorts' video with just the relevant information in it. Cheers.
The Spirits of Salts affiliate link shows a slightly different product to the one you used in the video. The reviews on it say it's watered down / or a knockoff so im hesitant to get it. Have you tried using the one you have linked?
Hi Jaylink. The one in the video isn't available on Amazon anymore, so I chose one that seemed appropriate with some good reviews but no, I've not used that one. However, afteer your comment, I did a check of the products online and found the product I usually use, (it wasn't available on Amazon when I did my video) which works really well. All of them are watered down as 100% hydrochloric acid would most likely be too strong and damage stuff.
Where did you purchase the Burnley bb511 key from please?
That was a key loaned to me by a local authority I was working on benalf of. I had to give it back when I left them but I'm keeping me eye out for another one.
Just out of interest, on disability toilets there is a radar key and then a second lock for when the council close access to the disabled toilet. What key would open the second lock on that door please?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by a second lock. Feel free to post me a photo of it on one of my gsceposy posts.
Hi, I'm registered disabled, so when I in town in the evening, after a certain time disabled toilets are locked, and a radar key won't open them on its own. I'm fairly sure it's a ERA 3 Lever key for a mortice lock.

Also this is water based paint doesn't blister with heat just softens it
I don't think the water based paints have a patch on oil based paints for durability and workability. They do smell a lot less though.
@@essentialhandyman yes oil based is definitely better especially for interiors there are 2 water based ones that are as good or almost as good but i think there for interiors only

How you doing Ian? I did something similar on a felt roof on the side of my house. That was probably 3 years ago. I repeated the process about a year after the first coat and it's been fine since. Well worth the temporary repair if you can get a few extra years out of it. I used Bitumen emulsion from Wickes. Can't remember the brand though.
Hi Phil. Long time no speak. Hope you're doing well mate. Like you, I'm gonna put some more on the roof, to double down on the coverage. I was waiting for better weather, so I could do all the joints. I guess with 70 - 80 degrees all this week, I should be cracking on with it ASAP. Before the rain comes back. As you say, it should be good for a few more years. Cheers mate,.
Thank you sooo much

What are the use of the fire brigade keys please?? Would would you access with them
Hi Stuart. FB keys were bought in (in the UK) to standardise access to places that the fire brigade were likely to need to get into. I suspect to stop them using their big, four foot long, axe shaped keys 😏 to get into locked cupboards. They're traditionally Chubb type locks on cupboards housing equipment such as electrical swiitchgear, water stop cocks, lift motor rooms etc. They also do FB padlocks, which may be used for similar situations but also access to things like roofs, plant rooms etc. You can buy a full set of FB keys online for less than a tenner. Although nowadays, quite a few places have moved over to something called Gerda keys. They're way more expensive, with keys costing between £30 and £250 each.
