What government seems to forget is that when businesses suffer to the degree they are at the moment, employees suffer too. What i don't accept is that the government needed to raise taxes as much as they have. I have to try to run my business based on my costs. If costs go up, i look to make...

But the need gets paused, and during that pause that's when businesses struggle. This government can't see that, so is adding fuel to the fire by loading costs onto employers at the worst time. ie the employers NI and minimum wage increases. Business is always cyclical, but every time a high...

No, the other businesses in our sector are struggling too and we're all scrapping over what business there is available, driving down prices to unsustainable levels. Demand has been suppressed by government actions and prices have been raised by government actions. Put the two together and you...

Agreed, but business success is linked to economic confidence. When the government destroys economic confidence, markets collapse, unemployment goes up, and consumers stop spending, which creates a vicious cycle, usually called a recession. Putting up the minimum wage when economic confidence...

I'm not a CEO and don't earn CEO income. But i am a MD and employ approx 110 people. With business confidence so low, we've been on the edge of survival for the last 18 months. I've been working harder than i've ever worked to try and keep the business solvent and able to pay the monthly wage...

Yes, i am confusing your post with someone else's. Sorry :) I agree on controlled ventilation.

So you're saying don't open a window because you'll pull in moist cold air, but you're happy to pull in moist, cold air through other leak points in the house? Don't forget that the moist, cold air will rapidly heat once its in the house, and as it heats its relative humidity will drop rapidly...

Drill a couple of holes in the larger block in the opposite corners to the bolts and put a coil spring in each hole. Or make a saddle clamp to go over the section that can move so you can clamp it into position once you’ve adjusted the backlash.

So where does the air that the fan exhausts get replaced from?

Thanks for the supportive comments. We live in a sleepy market town so it was quite unexpected and pretty shocking at the time. But we’re a pretty resilient family so, apart from my wife constantly waking me up in the night thinking she can hear something, we’ve moved on. The police told us...

We had an attempted break in just after christmas on a sunday at 5am. We were in the house whilst 3 men tried to smash their way in through the back door with an 4 ft long metal bar. Thankfully, they ran off when i came downstairs in my PJ's clutching my son's hockey stick and turned on some...

For the purposes of this conversation, the edit. Whether trump is right or wrong in what he did is irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion. If he genuinely encouraged dissent in his speech, the BBC would have had no need to edit together separate sections and make it appear as original...

what are you trying to achieve? Habital room, workshop, storage?

sticking with the snake theme though.

and there you have it. An entirely unprovoked insult from the left just because someone has a differing view to theirs.

I read that list with interest as i do watch GB news :) 1. I voted remain, but regret it. 2. I believe the climate is changing, i believe that are we are certainly influencing the climate, and i believe that we shouldn't be so wasteful with our resources. But i am not convinced that our...

Unconnected points. Whether Trump denied the election result or not, the BBC should not have edited his speech to make it appear he said something he didn't say. Two wrongs don't make a right, and its the BBC's job to report the facts, not present their interpretation of the facts.

I don't think it is. GB news bulletins are factual, it's the discussion points and shows that the GB news haters don't like because they take a more right wing approach than the BBC and then presenters have a right wing bias. That being said, GB news actively invites both right AND left wing...

The yellow filler you refer to is insulation. Its either rockwool or glass wool, not asbestos. Get it tested if you're worried, but its highly unlikely to be asbestos with a house of that age. The nasty asbestos was banned in 1985 with ban extended to white asbestos which is no where near as...

some manufacturers just added a usb socket, claim they're not disposable and carried on selling them at a similar price.
