Really useful! Thank you!!

Spain women average 5ft 7, so let's see what happens...

Interesting. Just googled it. England average 5ft 10! Finland only 5ft 6! Hmm...

I'd like to see the physical stats. I mean, I wonder if the most successful women's team are also the biggest?

So... rather than break the law and risk life and limb, asylum seekers should just stay put... unless France is considered a hostile country. Which it isn't.

It should be though. That's the point. I had to fill in countless forms, share my DBS, supply references and demonstrate that I could be an asset to the country... as opposed to a drain.

No, but like those who use the French 'ferry service' (merci beaucoup) I was trying to move from one lovely country to another.

Admit it, you've just clapped it out! Lol

I spent £800 trying to secure residency in NZ, but I failed. They didn't need any more teachers at that time. So, did I: a. Pay people traffickers to get me into the country illegally b. Count my blessings and crack on with my life France is perfectly safe. My son is taking his family there in...

I went to a 'football match' in NZ a few years back and I realised that only Brits know how to do football chants properly. Sorry Kiwis, but you're so bad at it. For example: 'CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP...' is supposed to be followed by a TWO syllable team name!! It doesn't...

I managed to save head space in our loft by adding a second 4" joist [literally] on top of the existing ones! We used C24 timber, and the two joists had to be connected every 600mm with steel fixing plates. Building Regs were happy and there was zero flex in the floor.

At a men's football match, the roar of the crowd resembles thunder. At a women's football match, the 'roar' of the crowd resembles a flock of angry seagulls fighting over chips. It's horrible. Make them stop.

Thanks all for your input re this. Having digested this information, I have decided not to go ahead with the battery at this juncture. It seems that our energy usage with the current setup is very low anyway. We're using about 4kw per day mid-summer (that figure doubles during the winter). At...

We had the ASHP and solar panels installed a year ago (simultaneously). The inverter that was installed doesn't support a battery. Recently, a sales rep for another company (there are millions of them) suggested using an AC charger? Currently, the power generated by the solar setup is only...

Dear Solar Nerds, Okay, so I'm currently running a simple south-facing 2.5kw solar setup that reduces our bill quite significantly, but I'm planning to add a battery in order to maximise the benefits. I recall the original installation engineer saying that my inverter wouldn't support a battery...

Don't rush into this. You might find that there's a very simple heating system that fits perfectly with your lifestyle, but you might choose to sacrifice certain creature comforts for the sake of economy. I'm one of the seven people in the UK who are happy running an ASHP system!

Oh good! I'd like a little... Micra?

Wayners knows. Also, maybe rethink your shower seal setup. Silicone is used far too much if you ask me... which you didn't. Lol

I'll check that theory first thing tomorrow! :-)

Some suppliers state '70% perfect' (or something like that) on the invoice, which basically means that you're going to get 3 bananas in every 10. It's worth hand-picking for a small project, but I always end up using the seconds for noggins etc on larger jobs.
