    Who was our 'best' Prime Minister?

    Maggie's foolish mistakes also cost us a fortune. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/property/buying-selling/how-right-to-buy-landed-taxpayers-with-a-900m-bill/

    Who was our 'best' Prime Minister?

    Yes it was a big loss and a mistake, but in the overall scheme of things, compared to say, the cost of COVID, the NHS, the welfare bill, pensions, Ukraine war etc, it's not something that bankrupted the country. Other countries were also selling off their gold, Brown invested it in other areas...

    Need to cut disk of wood to plug hole

    I'd just cut the disc as close as, and gorilla glue or epoxy it in. Then follows Big-All's suggestion. Or draw it out with a compass then jigsaw it? Unrelated question for the chippie types, what type of wood grain is that? I have similar door and need to make another one.

    Who was our 'best' Prime Minister?

    Can't disagree with the Blair thing, the gold thing was foolish in hindsight, but doesn't amount to a massive loss in the overall scheme of things. He was fairly fiscally responsible otherwise. It could be argued that Thatcher and Blair combined were a losing combination. She sold off all the...

    Building over our water supply pipe?

    How long will the built over length be? If it's just a couple of feet, then any old bit of plastic pipe will do, but if it's a more than say a couple of metres then it might be worth getting a length of blue twinwall conduit, to a) keep the run straight, and b) resist deformation. Unplug...

    Who was our 'best' Prime Minister?

    Harold Wilson, the first time round, Vietnam was a **** show, and he kept us well out of it. Final answer.

    Who was our 'best' Prime Minister?

    Lots of Thaggers here (Thatcher shaggers) It was all an illusion, she did a lot of damage. Spivs in the city got rich, that's about it. The housing crisis and high cost of living we experience now are down to her policies. Hugely divisive, Major and Brown are probably the PM's that did the...

    Make sure that gap isn't providing ventilation to the underfloor.

    The Black Professor

    He's got the face of one of those people who live in cloud cuckoo land, we've all met them. A 'Billy Liar'.

    Trellis width too narrow for U clips

    If you've got a vice you could reshape them. Or even manipulate them with some chunky pliers. You can get smaller ones in 38mm, or use a Wickes 'Z' panel clip.

    Filling the gap between UPVC Window and the Non-Bricked/ Tiled Wall

    Other shapes, sizes are available. Check colour match or get a sample. Fix in place with a few dabs of superglue, then use matching silicone to finish...

    Expanding foam in VW camper roof lining.

    No guarantee of full coverage. Can you get the lining off somehow and put insulation behind it?

    bath frame without using wooden battens

    Plastic decking boards might work as a 'water resistant' batten. But the wet timber isn't your problem, it's a symptom of your real problem. No water should be able to get behind or under the bath. Those bath feet are rarely adequate on a modern flimsy acrylic bath, I reused the ones from the...

    Cracks under Steel Beam

    That doesn't look like a nice freshly painted beam (edit: ah yes, could be a catnic) might not make a difference but he may have use a beam repurposed from another job. Hence why it may be a little short (if Woody is correct) Does the quote break down the costs?
