The brackets tend to pull out of the wall over time because there is only one fixing point, and when you use the wand to retract the blinds it acts as a lever producing lots of force. I've never had one fall down on me but I've heard others complain, I am always very careful opening/closing...

I am fitting a bunch of blinds, I can't decide which brackets to use. I initially wanted to go reveal-fix (top of window) because I don't want face-fix brackets in the upvc frame. However, the reveal-fix brackets are really flimsy, like these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233947958035 These...

Hmm, looks like it's certain IHDs. I read not so long ago that the protocol was all proprietry, but I guess they are moving towards fixing that. Mine hasn't worked since January and I have been waiting a year for an engineer from British Gas to take a look. I suspect it won't ever get fixed...

CPI at 5.1% RPI at 7.1% As usual the BOE are apparently going to be adopting a "wait-and-see approach"

Exactly the same issue I have had, hooked it up myself in the end on the bathroom side but can't reach the soffit end so will need to get it sorted before I start using the bathroom.

Hi, I've just had some sheet vinyl put in my kitchen and downstairs toilet. I can't decide what colour sealant I should be using eg. around the toilet base and kitchen cupboards. Someone said it needs to be clear as any ocolour would look naff. The floor is silver / grey and the cupboards...

Doesn't Admiral group own a load of the insurance companies anyway? And confused.com? Total scam. The insurance company I had last year (from comparethemarket) was actually a broker themselves who got there policies from other companies. These "insurance" companies are just agents for the...

Here is what he quoted, from the guardian: You are selecting the stats that are adjusting for population here. Which is wrong, as huge numbers of the population are not coming into contact with the police anyway. Transam has pointed this out several times. By your reasoning, young males are...

The parents have now been charged with manslaughter Apparently he had drawn and written stuff down and the teacher was talking to the parents about it at a meeting while the kid had the gun in his backpack. Crazy.

The switch is a Hager, each gang has four connections, com, loop, l1, l2 I believe. I think I have figured out what is going on though now. If we focus on the 2 right hand switches I think there is a live and neutral supply cable coming down to the switch and then a cable for each light. So the...

Hi, I am trying to figure out some lighting wiring. This is a 4 gang switch I have at the base of my stairs. Running from left to right: Switch 1 - two way switch for landing: Grey wire with brown sheathing - L2, Brown - L1, Black with brown sheathing - COM Switch 2 - Another two way switch...

Many would argue it's not a civilised society when rioters are burning down blocks of flats/courthouses/police stations while the democrats are either raising money to bail out criminals, defunding the police or just straight up claiming it's a myth that isn't happening.

Exactly. Biden's response was a response to the question if he still stood behind comments equating rittenhouse to white supremacy. And a ton of media are basically calling it racial

Why is this considered incitement? Rittenhouse ran away from rosenbaum shouting "Friendly Friendly Friendly" and only fired when he life was in danger. He was also seen cleaning up graffiti that morning, giving first aid and putting out fires at the night in question. If he is guilty of...

Wow suprised by the lies by most of the papers! The independent said he shot "3 black men" Daily mail said Jacob blake was killed Looks like Jerry Nadler is now calling for the DOJ to review the case, this is the same guy who gaslighted everyone over the portland violence, so no motive...

Whenever the subject of "why don't cyclists paid road tax" comes up on news the MAMILs would always pipe up and point out it's an enviromental tax. It was changed in 2017 which I felt was a bit unfair as people with huge inefficent cars pay as much as practically everyone else. The main issue...

Thanks, yes I am pretty sure it is RCD protected at the consumer unit (house is only 4 years old) Yes, I did initially think about having the FCU inside, can't remember why I changed my mind though

Lol is this match fixing? All the corruption and now this? Makes me think of this David Mitchell Rant:

I'd like to get some clarification about adding some outdoor sockets. I have a socket which is on the ring main (downstairs circuit) so I was thinking of taking a spur off this socket, through the wall and then put a weatherproof FCU on the other side. Then from this FCU run conduit to each...

In the case of Jacob Blake he was hardly innocent, he had a warrant out for his arrest, refused requests to drop the knife and was going round the car to either get in or grab another weapon. Also it is claimed a child was in the car. And he wasn't slaughtered either, he is still alive. I...
