Hi found an error 'E7' on our BritishGas (Drayton) RCplus transmitter unit yesterday. No function possible with it and after changing batteries and resetting receiver decided to call in British Gas. They had never seen that before. Standard error code is 'E1'. Just in case you think I may...

Hi I would say they are great..... only follow the instructions and check it has frozen proper and in any doubt bung in more, not less. Have loads of spare cans in case. I have used these in quite extreme circumstances and say they can provide the solution if you are unable to isolate the...

Yes hairy ben, it is true, she is desperate and half of the southern counties of england knows it! She does not hold back with her blabber mouth which does her no favours. Trouble is that one or two chosen words in someones ears and the agents keep a punter in their doors, which is what it is...

latest with our saga is they won't give any good info nor explanation of what they are doing or not done. It gets a bit silly as it leaves so much to imagination which can be really very counter productive as you feel there must be something funny going on. In our case I feel sure someone...

Is this true? is there really no body that oversees their actions? Someone must cover it? A law must govern their profession.

Hi I'm trying to find someone to talk to about dealing with family assets and the best way to deal with their sale in the current situation. Does anyone know of someone to talk to? We've tried the usual, CAB and what we really need is someone who will offer good advice on a personal...

Hello I've a problem. i'm helping my family sell our family home and we are being offered well below it value, that is 25% less than the going rate right now, or 40% below a year ago. The agent was saying it was a bad offer and rejected it but with slightly more it suddenly becomes...

Hi I have a JVC UX-G1 HI-FI which has only had very minimal use over the last year since it was bought. Alas now it won;t switch on from standby. Manual says processor may get stuck so unplug, plug back in and it should reset. alas no, nothing. I've contacted JVC, say it looks like...

burn them with a gas weed lance or just a blow torch if you have one. If you do it really well a couple of time burning out the roots you will knock them on the head. Repeat as and when but I find if you go round and burn all the cracks late summer you burn any seeds that have blown in.

Yes, it does work and it is the way to kill something without people noticing much! But it does smell a bit and can hang around until it washes away.
