    Almost a carbon copy of Cardiff, but just one boy. This time the police were behind the bike. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/08/boy-15-on-e-bike-dies-in-collision-after-being-followed-by-police-in-salford

    What are you watching on TV right now?

    To be fair, people should have three meals a day, or at least be able to afford 3 meals a day. One guy was so worried about the cost of electricity, he turned his fridge off. It could be that some of these folk had not made enough contributions, so their pension is only partial?

    Trans Much to your disappointment, the days of an eye for an eye in this country are over, having ended with Evans and Allen's hanging. Punishment for manslaughter or murder in this country is now incarceration. To put up resistance against your desire to bring back the death penalty does not...

    EICR fail

    Some agents I know ask for an EICR then offer their electrician's details. They may be in for a cut?

    How would you move these sockets?

    But back on the wiring ... Do you know where the legs for the kitchen socket run come in?

    Olive oil again

    Yes. We get Aldi's cold-pressed rapeseed oil as treat now and again and it tastes better and the colour is amazing!

    Replacement Battery

    That's normal. All warranties in the UK only last for the original period, regardless. But in reality, his battery will last a lot longer. My Bosch battery is 12 years old and has recently started to be a little reluctant to start in cold weather.

    What have you been doing today?

    You know, I thought about that, but all the brickies I have seen on site have done it all in one go, albeit going back over when it's firmed up a bit to tidy it up. I'll do as you suggest for the rest, thanks.

    What have you been doing today?

    Started adding bricks to these pillars. Mrs S said she would come and fix the shed at the same time. So I started doing the brickwork. "Love....can you pass me the secateurs?" Few minutes later.... "Can you get me the spade?" Bad light stopped play and I gave up at 22:00. Mrs S: "Oh, you...

    I have taken delivery of some fence panels and bricks. We inherited our fence when we arrived here this time in '99. Like most things to do with this house, the fence was a very odd bodge job. Instead of wooden or concrete posts, there are brick built pillars with a couple of courses of...

    What have you been doing today?

    You can make a decent underground repair and fill the box with magic gel, but for me, I would want it reinstating to what it was before they came along, IE an unbroken run of cable.

    Cowboy corner

    I know, I'd be ashamed if my work looked like that. The far pipe in the first picture is actually better than it was. The dhead plumber left the pipe completely unsecured and it was hanging down. I disconnected the pipe, tucked it under another and put a saddle on. It really needs completely...

    Cowboy corner

    Well, this is where it all goes t!ts up. The soil stack is a bodged combination of PVC and cast. And the run from the WC to the stack is horizontal at best. When you flush the WC, the water in the pan nearly disappears, then glugs back up. I wanted to get it all ripped out and properly...
