He's pushing hard for reform to the Lords http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17804826 and the NHS http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17330939 Does he mean what he says? Why is he not pushing for reforms to university fees like he promised?

Policies? Like not raising tuition fees? :lol: :lol: P. S. Who's pulling Joe90's strings these days?

So, an unprincipled liar then. :|

:roll: You certainly did miss something. He's the deputy prime minister. How much more 'in power' do you want? See the photo. He PLEDGED to vote against any increase in fees in the next parliament and to pressure the government to introduce a fairer alternative. He then voted for the...

Did you check the link?

My aunt lives in Bristol, and her Baxi 80e is broken down with flame failure light coming on. Does anyone know of any good, reliable heating engineers in her area, who are proficient at diagnosing and fixing faults. She has already had a hopeless parts-changer in to look at it. She doesn't...

Thanks. These are what's needed for the sides of the roof that join the walls, under the flashing. Am I right in thinking that these aren't suitable for the open ends of the roof, ie. above the fascias? What would be best to form the ridge here, something more rounded with less of a sharp...

I need to replace the old felt flat roof and boards on my garage roof. It's a link-detached house, and the garage roof basically sits on joists that span the gap between our house and next door. The front and back edges of the roof aren't attached to any buildings, they just have wooden...

A mate who is a GSR plumber was recently lost his job, due to the fact that the heating co. he was working for went bust.He was worried how he was going to make ends meet, due to sprogs and big mortgage. All of a sudden, he is snowed under with work, and seems really busy. He tells me that...

What with one thing and another, I am toying with the idea of trying something different to plumbing. A friend who is a spark has floated the idea of doing solar (pv) installations, and asked if I would be interested in going into partnership. However, neither of us have any experience in the...
