Yes, you can end up with a criminal record. https://forrestwilliamssolicitors.com/news/what-is-misuse-of-a-blue-badge/ Chances are, there is more to this story than what we are being told. The fine seems excessive, but this may be because she has refused to pay them each time they have been...

You could probably dig the trench to the required depth, put a strong draw cord through, lay the tapes on top of the ducting, half-fill the trench and lay another layer of tape, seal off the ends of the ducting to prevent water ingress, then continue to fill trench and clearly mark where they...

Wife was eager to start building so we made a 'work-around'. On the 45º end we have to put a shelf support in as a book stop. So, we simply cut 2 'supports and put one below where the shelf needs to be, marked off the lower edge of the shelf position, held a cut off piece of shelf on the support...

I'm building a book shelf and need a clamp, similar to a corner clamp, but in a Tee shape. I saw one recently, which you slide along the upright and can then slot the shelf into the T leg section to hold it at right angles. Trouble is, I can't remember what they were called or where I saw them...

For instance, how awkward/difficult will it be to change that toilet seat if it breaks or comes loose? (No easy access to the underneath). What if your washbasin drain develops a leak, (how do you access it without having to remove half the unit/toilet get at something low down inside?)

I would imagine staircase first, followed by new ide wall. Then you are not trying to install your stairs into a restricted space.

State pensions do not fall under the umbrella of government benefits, though they are included for tax assessments.

My wife and I did ours through a solicitor, who specialises in Wills/Probate stuff, over six months ago. (Before I discovered I had inoperable cancer just before Christmas), as there are certain people, we don't want making a claim on either of our assets. Feel so glad we did it when we did so...

You need to read the five dials on the top row, so ignore the red one on the bottom. Starting from the right, work to the left, and note them down from right to left. So the first is between 6 and 7. Note it down as the lower number, in this case 6 Now read the second from the right, between 8...

I wouldn't make any changes to the roof until your SE has been to see it first. Otherwise, your work could actually make it structurally safe ad there will be no case of bad workmanship. Hang on until your SE has made a report unless it is structurally unsafe as to be an immediate danger to your...

Was just going to say, I used a steamer once and had to hold it on for so long ot blew the plaster in a few places. Oher than that once, I have always stripped majority of top layer. brush/sponge two strip widths with warm water and gently scraped off the paper. To keep a steady workflow, after...

As a caretaker in my last job in a college I simply refused to work on fire doors. I would check the gaps were correct with a special gauge the installers provided me with, (and showed how to use correctly), and if there was anything amiss, simply call out a qualified carpenter. Boss was happy...

Well. so much for my hope of people starting 2024 without all the name calling and behaving like children.

Have you thought that the lamp, (bulb), may have blown and needs replacing?

DO NOT USE VASELINE!, or any other gel/oily liquid. Dust gets blown into locks and bits of fluff from the key when you take the key out of your pocket/handbag. You should only use powdered lubricants such as graphite dust, which you can get in small 'puffer' plastic bottles. Once every three...

Just had an identical one from John Lewis but different email addresses. This one now also blocked.

Took the family to see Jimmys farm. It will be a lovely experience in the summer but today was freezing and windy. Didn't stop the 3 grandkids running around in T-shirts after discarding their coats and ending up with an ice cream each as we were leaving. But now they've seen the polar bear, so...

Does anyone know if you are automatically entered into these things or do you have to do a review of a tool/piece of equipment? I have never made a recommendation or posted a review on their site, but received an email in my junk folder saying, Re 2nd attempt for XXXXX ', then the one-line...

I'm not a roofer/builder but I'm having my loft converted at the moment. About 12" down from the top of the roof , there are short crossmembers, about 15"-18", (maybe slightly longer, which tie in the rafters from both sides. At floor level there are joists tying them together where they meet...
