https://www.askmid.com/ It only confirms the vehicle has some insurance on it, it is not able to confirm whether, or not, the person driving it is covered to be driving it.

Unlikely - Mine dog-legs too. It goes straight up, then in the loft dog-legs to one side, to exit entirely on one face of the roof. If it were to move below the roof level, there would be evidence of the movement.

With an Irish accent? Yep, we get them too, maybe the same ones - Always in an untaxed, uninsured truck of some type, with an 'HIGHWAYS' board on the back, orange lights. The last one, a few weeks ago, insisting my drive was a disgusting mess, and wanting to make it even worse.

That sounds like a good method to check them. I have a suitable barrel, just a matter of measuring water into it.

On checking the recording, there were apparently two. One came coloured lad sauntered in, with a large rucksack on his back, got no response, maybe didn't knock loud enough - he was followed ten minutes later by a white lad, with no rucksack, whom I heard knock, and he was alert enough, to press...

I've decided to check the security camera recording.

I check my weight, once per week, the hospital ask for it each month, for my CKD appointment. So I like it to be accurate. No.

I/we've had this pair of digital scales for something like 15 years. When the opportunity has presented itself, I have checked them against surgery scales, whilst wearing the same clothes, on returning home, and they have always agreed, until recently. During my most recent check, with hospital...

Whilst busy cooking, and alone, a knocks comes to front door, the other side of the house. I never open the front door, to anyone unexpected - rather I open the bay window. Young lad there, wearing an ID lanyard says 'I'm a young offender.....', I respond with my default 'No thanks', close the...

No such thing as computers, when I was at school - it was all valves, until transistors appeared. I got myself interested in electronics, after school, then when the very early computers came along, they really grabbed my interest. It cost me many thousands. I wasn't athletic, at all. Whilst...

That, alone, suggests that the larger pipe is suffering an obstruction, preventing it draining further down. I would explore that first, as a matter of urgency.

Teachers, are themselves, only taught just enough to be able to teach what they teach. They so rarely have any real, deep understanding of what they are teaching, or how things actually work. I did the RAE course, not because needed it, but to ensure I wouldn't be caught out by the exam. There...

In the photo, it looks as if there is a crack in the elbow. That needs to be repaired. Possibly, it has had water backed up in it, has frozen, and split. It shouldn't need to be sealed into the larger pipe, the larger pipe should be free draining. If not, you need to work out why. Possibly, it...

It would be interesting one day, to see just how they are terminated, within the moulding.

Where/how do you plug the kettle in?
