They shouldn't put meters on shared supplies, but there have been instances of them doing that on here.

A watchdog!

Getting things organised, and ready for my catheter installation op tomorrow - wish me well? Patient Transport collects me at around 06:30, to get us both there for around 07:15. I've a second appointment then, midweek, to check up on how the op went, then all being well, and healed up, they...

A dodge I found, in cloying tough soil, was to connect a length of pipe to a hose, turn on the tap, the pipe will then dig it own hole without effort.

All can be made to measure, but the roller shutter doors always are made to your specified size.

They will not accept a complaint, unless and until, he has complained to the company first, and failed to achieve a resolution.

Timber stakes, four of them initially, of similar length. Hammer them into each corner, so the tops are level - using one corner stake, as the reference. The easy/cheap way to level, is to buy a water level, just make sure there are no air bubbles in it, and it will need two people. Once your...
