How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

In the pic it show's two bolts, why would it need any weld at all?

Give the guy a break - it's freezing cold, he's hurt his back and he's in Clacton-on-Sea. I'd say he's done pretty well, considering!

Well done.. And I hate to say it.. But without all the harassment from us zone coonts you would have probably left it with a weld, taken it out and made friends with some Armco.. We might be assholes but were assholes who have a point! :D
