Point a few brick with no 2 and let it dry for a few days, looks good? to me, but it could be the screen, and is the original mortar lime or sand and cement?

What colour are you trying to achieve? most seem to use a natural colour or buff, you seem to be doing the right thing with samples as obviously the sand will determine the colour, also try a sample on the actual brickwork, as that will show a truer finish.

Sharp sand - yes all the specialists use it(y) Building sand - sometimes a little can be added to improve workability

An EVs not for you then if you don't have a drive, the cost to charge will be a lot higher, EV vans are not selling, many just filling vast car parks, hence the daft deals available, that Mercedes would have more than covered it's cost in fuel savings alone(charging at home) it would have been a...

Vauxhall combo, it's been a great runaround, cheap insurance, parts, servicing etc, average 45 mpg, good payload for a small van, my 3 year old car has done only 4000 miles because i always grab the van keys when i nip out :)

Had my current diesel van for 7 years, total cost including purchase, repairs and servicing has worked out at less than 30 pound a week, no electric van could come close to those figures, most of my driving is local, but had to go to Andover a few weeks ago, and drove there and back without...

Wouldn't that make it a dowel?

Just pointing out the facts, not made up nonsense BOYO ;)

Maybe he should, but he chose to steal it from SNP funds instead(y)

You will also find insurance may be harder to get, they have'nt got the support network, so parts/software etc have to come from China, and that pushes up the costs to insurers. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2026/may/16/uk-insurance-cover-chinese-evs-jaecoo-byd-xpeng

You're not going to get crisp lines with old brickwork full of chips and undulations, he can obviously point, some sections are fine, but some areas could have had a scrape and brush and a touch up for a better finish, and to be fair close up photo's will make it look worse.

More young people out of work, been growing since Labour came to power.
