Why the rope in there though OP? It's not that bad yet I'm sure we can help you sort it! Jon

See! Me and @LeeC said gate valves were the future but we get banned from posts! OP, you 99% don't have a combi boiler but a system boiler on a Y plan. Bottom valve to the bottom right of the picture may be the cold feed to the cylinder. It may be stuck/broken? You say hot tap? Is that...

As the title, but it was cluttering up a thread. What do people think that money actually is? Has anyone ever held any real money? With the semi introduction of a "cashless" society then how could that work if your cash has value? How much is your "cash" worth? Who controls that? Is it...

Basically money and value is an illusion open for corruption as and when those in control of it feel like. I think this needs to be a separate thread to be fair as this is way of tangent from the OP. I'm starting to feel like Ross Noble!

OK, let's take away "money". You're example of food, gems, shelter, spices etc etc must have a value yes? Now if I were to barter with you and get what I need to survive would that be acceptable provided we had an equal value? Now what would happen if I bartered with you. We agree on a deal...

Good luck @conny let us see the results.you could always get a dremel type of tool and engrave/carve the wood. Stain the recesses and a quick coat over to fully cover then 30 seconds with a RO sander and it's even neater. Jon

Doubt it conforms to be BS699 and EN15622 for use with hobs. If you really want flexible to the hob then there is a product that suits application provided the manufacturer actually approves a flexible connection, meeting those standards, to be used on their appliance in their MI's. There are...

But who creates that supply and demand? You fail to see that your "value" is easily manipulated from outside sources as and when required. You have no control over what you owns value or the value of that fiver in your pocket. You are TOLD what it's worth is.

It's late so can't be arsed to search tonight but u don't think it was a "poor" community. IIRC it was a Dutch thing? (will check in the be morning) Basically it was a village being found built that was self sustained in the final result but those that built it all had certain trades and...

You're right and I probably used the wrong word with intrinsic but we still only live in a barter society. How would you "realise" any wealth we have?

@AdrianL Find some bigger balls! No offence intended but it will move quite easily. Proper tools and correct balance of force and it will go. Hold against on the valve (opposite direction to the back nut) and apply enough force in both directions. Always use the larger tool (longer) to...

I've being saying this for years. Few people realise that everything they have has no real intrinsic value and that everything is just a promissory note from the BoE. If things fail then you can still lose it all and have no true value to anything. The "value" of a certain note is only...

This was done at least 20 years back that I know of on an Audi S8 "S" plate. Had a solar panel in the sunroof that topped up your batteries, ran the electrics used while standing and turned on and powered the AC if it got warm in the car to keep it nice and cool for when you returned. Jon

Pretty much bang on but the average wage (Inc London which skews the figure) is £27k Long winded way of doing it though and this is not a dig on you @Doggit. @JohnD take note! Doggie has gone to the effort to explain in detail and I gave you a simplistic way which is near enough for this...

On an average PAYE gross just take 20% off and you are there abouts give or take a couple of quid. There's no need to overcomplicate things. You tend to do this when you haven't got a leg to stand on. Jon

What's confusing you and I will try and help out Jon

@EFLImpudence With respect @JohnD is right to a degree. The info I posted has different levels of cap on benefits depending on situation and area. Without looking I think it was 4 different levels. I posted the £384 figure which is outside of London and a single parent with children as that...

What J&K said. Good post J&K concise and pretty much sums up site work and the industry as a whole regardless of trade. Jon

Oh pi55 off with your constant need to create a political statement with every post.

Use an olive puller. Jon
