Tico pad under fridge not bed. Mounting your bed on springs could be intresting though. How about those big ones used in kids play parks. :lol:

This is an cool calculator to work out material, thickness and support centers. http://www.woodbin.com/calcs/sagulator.htm

Thanks guys. Still thinking about what to do. Done a bit of searching and the general consensus seems to be to ignore it. Bit peeved off really considering most traffic through these places use the toilet for free and then leave. While I spent around £70 to gain myself a £50-£90 pound fine. :evil:

Parked it legally in the nearest town.

I have bought WHITE BAL Microseal silicone sealant, however when I have opened it it is clear. Does it go white during curing or is it labeled wrong?

They come in 2 lengths so take 1 with you.

Or go to Ikea and say you need more of them like I did expecting to pay a few quid for a pack. However they insisted I take them for free. They keep them at the returns bit along with other bits and pieces incase some are missing from you purchases. :shock: :D

Lots of PTFE tape on shower head to wall plate elbow. You will probably need a few attempts to get the right amount and the shower head tight when in the down position.
