    Emergency pipe repair product help

    It might be possible to drain the part down, clean the area till bright, flux it, warm it (carefully!) and apply solder. I did a rad with a very small leak that way about 50 years ago and it's still OK.

    Options for removing surround / gas fireplace

    You beat me to that. It looks a treat IMO. Shame to just dump it.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    Trump has had a grudge against Iran ever since the Tehran hostage crisis and other events which he considered a humiliation of USA.

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    I didn't mean to suggest your road shouldn't have a 20 limit. Clearly it should, and it should be enforced better.

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    Meaningless to somebody who can't (or won't) understand simple logic

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    I'm sure what you say is true, but if it were just a money earner, you'd expect they'd be out there booking drivers. IMO 20 mph zones are decided by people who can't drive and have a grudge against those who can.

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    Lower speed at impact causes less damage, obviously, but it doesn't follow from that that a given stretch of road will have a lower overall casualty rate with a lower limit. And the argument that lower speed is safer can be used all the way down to zero speed, but not many people suggest that.

    Fexible tap tail 10mm x 1/2 BSP. Why so hard to find?

    As Deluks said, use them (without flexis) if at all possible. More trouble to fit, but unlike flexis will last indefinitely, and makes the taps more rigid, often useful with a stainless steel sink.

    And then only tailpipe emissions

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    That's the most stupid argument I've heard for a long time. What would you expect?

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    Gatso cameras flash (from behind) but Truvelos have little or no flash.

    Why are IHDs (In House Displays) so rubbish ...

    Quite. I only switch something on when I need it on. I don't need a smart meter to tell me it's using energy.

    Capital Punishment

    I don't think it's a medical problem, as it's easy to put somebody out painlessly for an op, so similar to kill them. The problem, in eg USA, is that they don't want it to be too barbaric, but don't want it to be entirely stress-free either, because where's the deterrence or retribution in that...

    Radiator air

    Make sure the inhibitor is up to strength, then when you've released all the air (or more likely hydrogen), you won't need to do it again

    Artichoke And Other Foods Said To Aid Weight Loss

    I never thought I'd agree with you :giggle: but I fit most of that

    Gas safety question.

    OK, it's not my cooker, I posted out of curiosity. I didn't see how to use a manometer, before spotting the obvious, isolate at the meter and connect the manometer downstream.

    Gas safety question.

    I don't know, but some on here say it's OK, others that it's not. In any case a leak will soon be detected by smell

    Gas safety question.

    OK, but consensus seems to be that even if no pressure drop is found, it's still not acceptable to rely on the bayonet fitting.

    New oil to gas install. Bottom of rads cold.

    Do you mean the previous boiler didn't have that problem? Maybe increasing the pump speed would help, if it's an option on that boiler
