This weekend sees the Monaco Grand Prix.

monaco_gp_map-2016

What a Circuit!!!! ……..…it consists on the city Streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, which include the famous harbour.  The Circuit has many elevation changes and tight corners and the narrow course makes it one of the demanding tracks in Formula One racing.  It has been named as an exceptional location of glamour and prestige!!!

The first “Grand Prix Automobile do Monaco” was by invite only and was held on the 14th April 1929.  The first ever winner was William Grover-Williams, driving a Bugatti.

Graham Hill was known as “Mr Monaco” due to his five Monaco victories back in the 60’s, however this record was beaten by the late Ayrton Senna, a record of six times back in 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993.

Let’s hope Lewis Hamilton MBE, last year’s winner, can excel to victory once more!!!!

Eurovision Song Contest in Ukraine!!!

images

 

In 1967, 50 years ago, Sandie Shaw won the Eurovision Song Contest with “Puppet on a String” for the United Kingdom …………can Lucie Jones, this year’s representative,  go on to win the 2017 Eurovision Contest with her song “Never Give Up on You” or will the favourites, from Italy, take the title??

The last Eurovision Contest the United Kingdom won was back in 1997 with “Love Shine a Light” by Katrina and the Waves.  Prior to that, in 1981 we saw a fabulous and unforgettable routine from the Eurovision winners, Buzz Fizz and “Making Your Mind Up”………. who can forget the ripping off the skirts!!.  Whilst back in 1976, Brotherhood of Man invented a catchy dance to “Save all your Kisses for Me”, and in 1969, Lulu shot to the winner’s pole with a “Boom Bang-a-bang……..”

In 1956 we saw the birth of the Eurovision Song Contest, held at the Teatro Kursaal in Lugano, Switzerland on Thursday 24 May, Where Switzerland won the Contest.  The first ever winner was Lys Assia with her song “Refrain”

Masterflex Technical Hoses Limited wishes all the Contestants, the best of luck!!.

Did you know that Masterflex hoses are also used for Stage Productions?  We have recently supplied Master PVC LFL for conveyance of smoke to the stage of “Bat Out Of Hell” and “Cats”. Other hose are available – please see our website or feel free to telephone us, for further information.

Roger Bannister………the first man ever to run a mile in less than four minutes!!!!!

images

Breaking the four minute barrier was first achieved on the 6th May 1954 at Oxford University’s Iffley Road Track, by Roger Bannister at the age of 25 years old.  The actual time was 3.59.4 minutes – that’s an average running speed of 15mph………………The track was later named after him!!

In 1975 he was quite rightly knighted for his legendary achievement and he became Sir Roger Gilbert Bannister.  He became the first Chairman of the Sports Council (now call Sport England) and went on to become a Neurologist and Master of Pembroke College in Oxford, before retiring in 1993.

Clinical waste and waste incineration

Clinical waste and waste incineration

What is clinical waste and waste removal?

Definition:

Clinical waste consists of medical waste that could pose a threat to public health unless properly disposed of. It is a category of hazardous waste, and has to be collected under tightly controlled conditions and disposed of by incineration. It cannot be put with normal rubbish. The process is legally enforced by strict government regulations.

Clinical waste is defined in the Controlled Waste Regulations 1992. Any other waste arising from medical, nursing, dental, veterinary, pharmaceutical or similar practice, investigation, treatment, care, teaching or research, or the collection of blood for transfusion, being waste which may cause infection to any person coming into contact with it.

It refers to any waste that consists wholly or partly of:

  • Human or animal tissue, blood or bodily fluids,
  • Dressings or swabs,
  • Unwanted medicines and other pharmaceutical products,
  • Used syringes, needles and blades (‘contaminated sharps’),
  • Excretions.

How should clinical waste be removed?

Clinical waste should be placed in secure clinical waste bins, Domestic Waste Bins, Sanitary Bins, Nappy Bins and Recycling Bins. There are various companies that manufacture products to suit this industry and take the contents of the bin away to be incinerated.

How can we help you remove your clinical waste?

Masterflex manufacture a range of durable hard wearing hoses that can can be used in the incineration process. If you are in the incineration industry and have requirements for flexible hose and ductings, we will be happy to hear from you.

Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth!!!

Happy-Birthday-To-The-Queen-AmreenBorn April 21st 1929, and christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace, Princess Elizabeth spent much of her early years enjoying a quiet family life with her parents, and sister Princess Margaret.

Today she turns 91 years old and usually spends her actual birthday privately.

The occasion is marked publicly by gun salutes in central London at midday: a 41 gun salute in Hyde Park, a 21 gun salute in Windsor Great Park and a 62 gun salute at the Tower of London.

What would you buy her?

Maybe flexible hoses are not at the top of Her Majesty’s list but we can manufacture a large range of hoses and ductings to suit your individual requirements.

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF THE GRAND NATIONAL!!!!!

images

We loved the Grand National in our house………….at 3.00pm on a Saturday afternoon, live on BBC1, the Grand National would take place, but we never watched it at home!  My Dad would go through the “pull out” in the paper and contemplate which horses he would lay his bets on.  Then he’d turn to us kids and say “pick a horse”.   I always picked one that reminded me of someone or a place I had visited.  We’d all get ready, as a family and get our coats on whilst my Dad went to put his bets on in town, then we’d make a dash to the local Dixons shop and watch the Grand National on their TV’s………..in colour!!!!  There would be a huge crowd all cheering their horses on and waving their tickets……….Good luck for Saturday and may the best horse win!!!!

Here at Masterflex, we provide and manufacture specialist hoses for grass cuttings, hedge cuttings and leave collection in various sizes,  together with hoses for Woodworking, Plastics, Chemical/Pharmaceutical, Food, Automotive, Military and General Engineering.
