When did England start teaching something other then English in schools?

Sounds more like an American bastardisation! Oops, I mean Americanism!!

Should read en situ

Oh, and message to Ken... Hit it harder! But whatever you do, DON'T try lever it off. (Probably obvious, but you never know!)

It'll only be the gasket holding it all together, and possibly (but highly unlikely) some corrosion between the cylinder locating dowels and the studs. I will put my customary 50p on there being 1/2 the gasket left on the cylinder and 1/2 left on the crank case once it's all apart, just as if you had peeled it apart like a beer mat. You'll probably find someone "glued" the gasket in place with instant gasket several years ago!
