Thanks all for your help. Screws bought. :)

lol Except in this case when a child pulls on the curtain, the pole falls off.

I've just measured the screw and it's 4mm in diameter and 13mm in length. Is there any way of telling if it is metric or imperial? Last thing I want to do I buy a million metric screws, none of which fit. I've done that too many times in my life!!

Hi All, We've lost the hex grub screw that is used for securing the curtain rail to the bracket. Does anyone know if there is a standard thread/size that is used for curtain rails? Thanks, N

Hi, I've searched the internet high and low for spiked castor cups with an internal diameter of 50mm - can't find them! Does anyone know if these exist and if not why not!! Notting

Thanks @Johnmdc That worked perfectly - good knowledge!!. Cheers, Notting

Thanks @Johnmdc. I'll have a crack at this when I get home this evening. Notting

@Johnmdc That would be really useful and much appreciated! :)

When you say 'wired' do you mean that the controller is wired to the wireless system? There is currently a third box, on which you set the actual temperature - and this is wireless.

Hi, I currently have a british gas installed/branded thermostatic controller and wireless receiver. This is the wireless receiver: http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss83/al222b/KNB1530/P1013688a_zps1b63a57e.jpg I want to upgrade the controller, so that I can set different timings for...

It sure is - for additional comic effect! :)

Hello all, Is this normal?! Why is the fireplace not in the middle of the chimney breast? Thanks, JT

That grey pipe belongs to the neighbours in the flat above. I pretty sure that it comes out of their bathroom and comes from the sink. I will knock on my neighbours and let you know when I find out more.

I stood out in the (heavy) rain for about 5 mins and did not see water coming from anywhere else.
