MwRoofline - what car was that in? Every car i've driven with a 'miles to go' function switches to just display "low" when there's less than (approx) 30miles in the tank. Assume that's to stop people thinking, i've got another 10miles to go yet, only to find out the hard way that the computer...

Thanks guys, from what i can see, you must use either a 5litre plastic can or a 10litre metal can and you can store up to 2 of each at home (not in the house) ie. 30litres max. Getting it home is less clear from a legal point of view - it seems if you get stopped with petrol in a can in...

This might seem like a stupid question, but as someone who's never done it before, i'm a little unsure.. I've been given a petrol lawnmower and so obviously now need some petrol. Are there any restrictions on what I can put it in at the petrol station pump - or can I just use the plastic...

We find that sending a copy of the outstanding invoice, supporting e-mails and a letter advising them that if you don't get payment within 7 days you'll start court proceedings to reclaim the debt usually works quite well. We don't always get the full amount, but in most cases it prompts some...

Thanks Garyo - will have a look. Is there nothing like a gunable sealant that might do the trick??

Sorry Gary O - its the grey fibre sheets. kb - temporary will do - need to stop the leak before it damages the room below any more...

Hi, Can anyone give me any advice on the best way to repair a crack in a corrugated sheet on a roof. Its letting in water and has been repaired in the past by simply covering the crack with duct tape - which, probably quite expectedly, hasn't worked. Can this be fixed/repaired? Or will...

Hi guys, Does anyone know if there any any grants available for buying loft insulation for businesses? By business, i'm refrering in this case to a village Playgroup. They are using a church hall and the building is freezing cold in winter and the heating costs are threatening the long-term...

Me too - and I'm a Man Utd fan. The BBCs top three sports stories on Wednesday were "Alex Ferguson retires", "Alex Ferguson retires - As It Happened" and "Alex Ferguson retires - All The Latest Developments" Seriously, it was a big story but it was always going to happen one day and did we...

Cant' see Jose wanting to go back to Stamford Bridge while ever RA is the owner - doesn't like someone telling him what he can and can't do - not that i'm saying that means he'll be heading to Old Trafford. Bookies have Moyes as a very clear favourite - some as strong as 6-1 on!! Sounds...

Can't say i've spotted too many flies - but my guess is they've just been delayed by the cold - they'll get here soon!! Have noticed a lot more bumble bees than normal though - bl***y great big ones too!! :shock: Had one in the kitchen yesterday and it wasn't far off 2inches long!

From what i've been told, cutting out breakfast is about the worst thing you can do. A typical person might eat dinner at 7pm and get up the next day 7am - that's 12hours with no food. Your body reacts to that by slowing your metabolism, a natural reaction to effectively being starved, a...

A bit like motorcyclists who want car/van/lorry drivers to give them space on the roads and treat them "just like a small car". That is, until there's a traffic queue and they don't want to sit in it "just like a small car" would have to....

You've probably seen this on the news.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-22338210 Not only did some idiot paint double yellow lines on BOTH side of an alley far too narrow to get a car down, but they've now been back to go to the trouble of painting them black, and then...

I'm a cyclist but I agree with the general consensus on here - these look like a bad idea - a waste of money and unlikely to make things better as far as I can see. As said above, the biggest problem is the way that people drive and the way that cyclist ride, nothing to do with the road layout.

But shouldn't that tell all the other parties that the one issue that UKIP gain supporters on is SO important to those people, that they're willing to ignore every other aspect of their lives and the way the country is run in order to get action on that issue? And that maybe the other...

Hi John, Yeah, I understand that, but the 24 gear bike will still have more than the 16 gear bike. As I say, my MTB 'has' 27 gears and I probably only use about 15(ish) different combinations when I'm cycling. The 24 gear bike has a higher 'top' gear and lower 'bottom' gear so...

As some of you will probably already know, I do a bit of cycling. I took it up about 18months ago (after not having had a bike for well over a decade) and i've currently got a mountain bike which is perfect for what I use my bike for the majority of the time. I am however, now thinking about...

The auto-Bid function drives me mad. As far as i'm concerned, you should have to be there (online) at the time to place a bid. Nothing more annoying than placing a bid only to find you've been out-bid before the screen has even refreshed because someone has set up an auto-bid. If someone is...

It shouldn't cost you any more? Unless you mean the retailer making a charge for using a CC - but i'm not aware of very many online retailers that do that? I use a CC to pay for just about everything, pay it off in full each month and with a cashback card I earn a bit by doing that, and of...
