Why do people support Reform when they have no idea of their policies? As this is a DIY forum, I'll try to offer an appropriate analogy: You have three cordless drills in front of you. There's a couple of others from Aldi and Lidl, but you know they're not worth trying. So, looking at the...

Surely even the staunchest Labour supporters can't defend this budget! The shirkers will be worshiping the magic money tree, while the workers will be lamenting the loss of their houses, savings and pensions. As an aside, I'm sure those good citizens who were lured [by their own good nature]...

Maybe that's what the designer was aiming for. So he likes bread. What's the problem? Lol

I did exactly that last year. STS accepts Ronseal Anywhere paint on a gloss roller really nicely and it saved me the cost (and mess) associated with getting the plasterers in. Sorry plasterers, but you are a messy lot. Lol

If the building has cavity walls and the outer leaf has cracked through the brick, it might require remedial work. If the exterior has been covered with cladding and the interior with wallpaper, one might assume that the owner has attempted to hide a fault. Personally, I'd just ask them about it.

Well mrbiffle... If you were after a quick fix to keep the rain out for a few years, and you didn't part with an unearthly sum, this rather shoddy example of a new flat roof might be just the job! I paid circa £4k for the Rolls Royce of flat roofs a while back. It was guaranteed for 25 years...

I demolished an old shed a few years back. The roof had 7 layers of felt on it. It was HEAVY! With regard to flat roofs per se, I have only had negative experiences. In my mind, rainwater should never be static. It should run down, down, down... and away into the ground.

Care to elaborate? The example given was approved by Velux. We can only guess regarding the elements we can't see, but it looks like a decent install to me.

I live in a very small village in North Norfolk. The majority of my neighbours are retirees who have worked hard all their lives. Many of them have flown the Union Jack and/or the flag of St.George for more years than I have lived. They love their country and they are proud to fly our flag...

It strikes me that you're desperate to find a sparring partner on this subject. Suffice to say, Hamas is on the naughty list for good reason. I don't care what it says on their flag, and I won't be giving them any more oxygen on this thread. I sense that there's a reasonable human being with a...

Yes, but it's rubbish and it looks like a badly written short essay. That's why many of their supporters opt use the flag of Palestine instead. Nobody has time to read an essay during a skirmish.

Perfect! Haha!

Well, there are some strange people about. Keep us posted. We like a mystery.

There you go!

I sourced that example from a 'Velux Approved Installer' website. I'll find the image for you.

I'd like to fly a pair of panties from my flagpole, but the connotations of that are just strange. Lol

I say screw the connotations (over which you have no control) and just do what you feel is right!

Proscribed terrorist organisations are listed on the UK government website. Alongside the name of each of these evil entities you'll find multiple reasons for their inclusion on said list.

Okay... Joey from Friends... trying to explain the meaning of a 'moo' (moot) point. You suggested that the English flag shouldn't be flown because it has been adopted by 'far right thugs' BUT you CAN fly a flag that has been adopted by a proscribed terrorist organisation... who have killed and...

I stripped our old oil boiler system out last year and fitted an ASHP. We've used every type of boiler in the different houses we've renovated over the years and honestly, we really do prefer the ASHP system. You'll read lots of negative stuff about them, but it's a case of horses for courses...
