Well FTTP was a BT idea and development killed off by OfCom and HMG in the first half of the 1990's. (lost my future job through that killing off.) The UK is now playing catch-up with the numerous AltNets getting money from HMG to provide a 'competative' environment for the FTTP role out - read...

If doing 4500 per year it's absolutely necessary to change it yearly the engine never gets not enough for long enough to boil the water content out of the oil.

Which way does the water flow in relation to your pictures?

Does the car have a scond battery for the security systems?

Umm, that made me think. Had to go and have a look at both the installation and check the invoices. Cause the parents house is (was) plumbed before mains water was installed only the kitchen has mains water, the rest of the house is supplied by a tank in the loft, independant of the mains...

Wife's nephew is 8 going on 17. Bought him a plastic construction set (think plastic maccano) which the model that used all the enclosed parts was a tower crane. complete with an electric motor to raise and lower the hook. His dad helped start to make some of the models with it but all the kid...

Family home is on a septic tank. After, well really during covid and the toilet paper shortage they had a Shataf fitted (and used) which reduced their toilet paper concumption grately. Now having become used to the idea and practise of washing over wiping themselve clean they rarely use paper...

The following is my view. Firstly it looks you or someone had one of the latest OR/BT bodgers in ripping out the original jucntion box where the exrenal and internal cables meet; replacing that with 'jelly' IDC's - Bl**dY disgusting workmanship. Those IDC's should only be used in external...

Actually, NO. I mean whinging about leaving the EU. The boat arrivals is something different. Am I happy to see so many arriving here - NO. Am I happy with the way they are treated - NO. But until someone in power puts forward a solution that the majority supports not much will happen.

I was disapointed with the result, at the time I worked in an European body so I know that no EU country was completely happy with the EU rules, Reg's and management, some more so than the EU, I have accepted it and have to agree with HM. It really is time to stop whinging and get on with...

I feel your pain! Came back from Hol's in September to hear the sound of running water. Wife coulden't hear it initially but could after the plumber chap had been out. We proved the leak was outside but under the passageway between the two houses. I now think having changed the pipe it had been...

From what I remeber (sadly i'm are talking bulb wattage here) a parking light bulb was 5Watts a DRL bulb was either 18 or 21 watts But today those illuminations are measured in Lumens and I don't know what the C&U reg's say, sorry.

It's something I well understood but with most cars now following the German principle* that a 'light' touch onto the indicator lever instead of causing one pulse on the L/H indicator it causes 3 pulses. And as somemany people no longer understand indicators it probably means even less in the...

Whilst I agree mostly with your thoughts I wish that the manufacturers would cause the headlights to be switched off just leaving the parking lights (side lights) on when the handbrake is applied. The amount of school mums (and delivery drivers) who say they don't know where the light switch is...

What state is the air filter in? Is it breaking up and being injested?

Ahh, Sb&Q - much prefer their original of Sailing rather than the Rod Stuart popular version.

Either get the boarding replaced or ensure it is good and then have EDPM (rubber) roofing material fitted.

Wife's parent's house had similar - they had a 'strong box' that was cast into the concrete floor. Veryb secure but keyed lock to secure it.

Comes down to how much you wish and can do yourself - which extends the build period. e.g. you could do the groundworks yourself and get a man in to do (or help) with pouring the foundations. Then once that is completed you get a bricky in to build the walls after you have measured up either...
