you get disc shaped g4 LED's which fit well in those kinds of fittings, but you'll probably have to change the transformer/power supply for them too

Most of the 12 page debates are sleep-inducing off-topic or barely relevant rubbish from 4 or 5 posters, the original enquiry having typically been resolved within the first few posts and other useful information lost in the babble.

What is the wall construction? Typically here (in the many ~1898 buildings) it is either plaster on laths, over timber studs fixed back-to-back for interior walls and to stone/exterior wall lining or; 'float and skim' plaster (about 20mm thick) onto brick. In either case it's fine to use...

I just clicked on the link, read you picking out something I said, saying I was wrong, quoting some nonsense, and replied. 25% vs 41% and it it WAS voters of England who got us the tories, people did, y'know elect 100's of them to parliament, those people were voters who went out, in...

Regarding the timing, I got a notification about this thread, but it seems some spammer has had a post deleted

Nope, it was well over that, 30-something% off the top of my head - you'll notice I said 'voters' (ie people who voted) not 'electorate' or any other term. Scotland elected one (1) tory MP of our 59, Wales and NI not many (any?). The tory majority was thanks to the voters of England voting for...

It's CAULK, not cork. And if the installer didn't drill deep enough to get the fixing into brick that is not the fault of the rawlplug

I suspect your conclusion is wrong and that you will end up paying more, being that you have no experience of building project management and that it takes a lot of work and knowledge to coordinate different trades on a site so that things are done right first time, and achieve a good finish...

Hi Millwright, just wondering what you do for a living? So I can label everyone in your industry as deceiving arse holes. Thanks.

£10.10 per hour, how much paid holidays? (the statutory minimum is 28 days by the way), pension? You... run your own van??? maintenance, servicing, MOT, tax, insurance etc? that's thousands a year including purchase costs Do you buy all your own tools too? 10.10/hr for 37.5 hrs and 52 weeks...

If the joist's aren't (weren't!) tying the roof together, what is? How much of them have you removed (a photo would be great)?

leave the joists but clad them and fit out up to the roof... mezzanine storage, rooflights or dormer etc. You'll still get the height, there will just be some (nicely finished) joists in the way. Or else there will be some way or other to do what you want, at a price.

Thanks ds. I found some flat screwless black nickel (Hamilton) master/slave so that will do and they can change the sockets too if the finish isn't close enough! Didn't find any rotary master/slave dimmer modules at all, only touch and retractive

Says he's been to police and they said nothing illegal has happened, but I'd get a 2nd opinion! Maybe write to your MP and generally make a fuss on facebok, twitter etc, I suspect the landlord will re-offer the £1k if a bit of pressure applied! Absolute fkn chancer the landlord!

Anyone know of any master/slave dimmer modules that can be retrofitted? Looking for black nickel screwless flat-plate master/slave dimmers but can't find any so thinking to fit master/slave modules to regular dimmer plates, but can only find master/slave setups with touch...

What will people do?... presumably buy LED lamps instead. For all the talk of all the various kinds of bulbs that are supposedly banned I haven't had any trouble whatsoever finding suitable replacements for anything. True Tesco don't sell them and the boxes of eg 100w incandescent bulbs are...

Please let us know which 'competent' person scheme the electrician is a member of
