Interesting you felt safe. I used to live in West London, left approx 20 years ago, but still know the city well. We go to visit friends or just do London stuff fairly regularly, and went down for the day between Christmas and new year. We were in the St Pancras, Covent Garden, South Ken, and...

Do you really want tank stored cold water as your kitchen supply?

Where you have the skirting returning around the corner and under the unit, i'd have mitred a full height section of skirting and then notched it under the cabinet so that the chamfered section of the skirting returned around the corner. Edit: just seen in your original post that you tried that...

Personally, I’d stick with what you’ve got. I don’t think you make any noticeable savings, in fact you’ll probably find it costs you more to run as a big boiler is much less efficient than a small one when the big one is running with low loads.

You can buy a proper pipe bender for £40-50. A bent bend is always going to be less likely to leak than any type of connection. Pipe bending springs are complete rubbish in my opinion, and you can only use them if the bend is near a pipe end.

93% at 9.9 degrees in the loft and 84% outside at 7 degrees indicates to me a lack of ventilation, hence the higher temperature in the loft. With decent ventilation and good insulation the internal and external air temp should be the same. The higher internal humidity may indicate a water...

I suspect you had more heat leakage that you realise, enough to keep the temperature in the loft slightly elevated.

To be fair, that shouldn't have been directed at you personally, so i will edit my post and happily apologise. I was referring to the left in general who are happy to dance on the head of a pin in finding ways to attack Jews, physically, verbally and emotionally, whilst claiming they are...

Yet an attack has been made on a religious group who's only connection to Israel is their common religion. The left accuse people of hate speak and racism when islamist extremists or terrorists are conflated with general muslims, but don't seem willing to apply the same standard when Jews are...

This thread is about the latest atrocity against the Jews. Please, can people show some compassion for people affected by this tragedy and not use if for unrelated local (to the UK) political point scoring. The footage of the brave man (who has turned out be muslim) tackling one of the gunman...

It happened a few months ago. How soon we forget about the ongoing persecution of the Jews.

My heart goes out to those affected by this terrible attack. Much as some people may dislike Isreal, Jews aren’t Israel. Disgusting lack of compassion in this thread so far.

I'd be happy with that. Any asbestos would be fairly uniformly mixed throughout the plaster. You'll be fine, forget about it and move on with your life. Even if there was asbestos in the plaster, there's nothing you can do about it now anyway.

This government is a ****show on immigration, but so was the last, and I remember being equally unhappy with the hotels and small boats situation under the tories.

The Irish are much closer culturally to us than many of the other immigrants we have had recently, as are the most of the Eastern Europeans. The 8 million of Irish descent have arrived over the last few hundred years or more, not at anything like the rate we’ve seen over the last decade...
