    Makerfield

    Smaller area I know, but locals who live in Ashton-upon-Mersey also just call it Ashton. All three Ashtons Ashton-in-Makerfield (Wigan) Ashton-u-Lyne (Tameside) & Ashton-upon-Mersey (Trafford) are all within Greater Manchester. You just have to remember which borough you're in...

    I think most pensioners consider their bus pass as free, part of being a pensioner. Most wage earners are paying tax towards those of the current pensionable generation. And I will rely on wage earners in the future paying tax into the system to pay our pensions. And so on...

    Makerfield

    The few times I have been there people seem to have been calling it "Mare"kerfield. With a bit of a Lancashire twang. But Andy's a good guy. He's fixed the buses. Brought them back under public control. He makes a plan and it happens. When we moved here 27 years ago, there were 3 buses an...

    Repairing plaster wall around socket

    Yes, agree. What I do for deeper areas is use bonding or browning, but not everyone has that knocking about, then when that's gone off, I put Toupret on top. When I started fitting these decorative metallic plates in the mid-80s, they came with a thin plastic gasket to separate the accessory...

    What Do You Make Of This?

    If I was a professional working electrician putting my name to a video, I'd make sure it was top notch. If he's doing it to wind people up, he's just making himself look ill-educated in the regs.

    Has the guy no idea that the cable is well protected by the 32A breaker? And of course, that with diversity, a sizeable oven can be had, with or without a 13A socket?

    Brighton Bodies

    In 1974, my Gran retired and they moved from Golders Green to Little Petherick. We used to spend every Summer in Cornwall and link up with them one way or another. In 1975 or 6, we kids were in the sea (very shallow, below my nine or ten year old knees). I can't remember the 20. Mum was with...

    Another tax dodger.

    I should have said before his time. My lawyer has advised me to say that any claims made here are allegations. The man is incompetent. Everything he does either turns out badly or to his advantage or both. Look at the Trump Phone fiasco. He has run businesses, they have gone bankrupt. He...
