that's a big crack and i am not a surveyor but, personally, I would walk away.

I would ask for another plumber just because of his attitude. There are plenty of arris holes around, especially in the trades, and you seem to have got one

I've got two leylandia hedges one belongs to my neighbour who backs on to my garden. Both the hedges are too wide to get to the middle. I also have a garden that slopes and I am 75. I can't cut the hedges down because my neighbour doesn't want to lose hers so the middle never gets cut and looks...

Successive governments have devastated our armed forces. At the moment we couldn't even defend this small island leave alone the brits down in the Falklands. I'm not particularly agreeable with retired army personnel being recruited mainly because of age and the fact that they have done their...

Whatever effin idiot thought that constructing an engine that used a rubber belt made from oil products and then allowing that belt to run through an oil bath really wants his/her head read. Look at the crap that Stellantis and Ford are in now mainly due to the wet belt debacle. I would avoid...

An LED lamp will not work in that fitting.

Every other party are run by clowns. Rupert wotisface or Kemi thingy look like the only, nearly, viable contenders to replace NEW labour. The tories gave us 15 years of nothing apart from lining their own pockets so kemi thingy is between a rock and a hard place. Rupert wotisface doesn't really...

It's from the foam carpet backing. It is breaking down and gone chalky. I had that when we bought the house we are in now. Al the carpets were quite old and that chalky substance was under most of them.

The time I had one of those at my door, which was a good few years ago, he got quite verbally nasty because I said no thanks. I told him I would call the police if he did not go away. He then proceeded to knock quite loudly on the door which I had closed at that point. But he did go away...
