    Fatness

    So, with this many overweight, it must be okay then? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-25766253 So now, the money I have paid into the NHS will be provided to reduce the waistlines of those who will not help themselves, or their children, and no doubt, when they have to buy smaller size...

    Socket inside kitchen cupboard

    You could always reduce the size of the backing and install a surface pattress on the wall behind, so that one can still access it from through the cupboard. Another alternative is position a socket on the wall above the rear and just plug it in there, at least it is quickly accessible, which...

    Sudden large increase in water consumption in flat

    Get someone to do a sound test on the meter, i.e. long rod placed on the meter and the other in the "lughole" to detect water noise. Seems to me that if all are reporting extra loss there is, as already suggested, a ground leak.

    Planning new sockets - what to do with PC installation?

    If it's going to be a permanent office/workshop why not put sockets in just above the desktop level - quite straightforward, no trailing wires, easily reached especially when you go into that wrong site by mistake. I fitted out ours some years ago and installed a pull chord switch over my...

    Road surface (foothpath) water draing on my land

    Take them to court I say, or at least put it in the hands of a Solicitor; if you created a driveway, they would now require you to deal with the drainage from that, i.e. they would not allow you to direct that drainage onto the highway.

    First Fix in Kitchen

    But would it not be better to put it in fixed trunking, just in case someone wants to change/alter units and as said, move appliances back and forth?

    Just had Survey from Hell on House we are buying....

    Well good luck but in your first posting you put... "My wife is really worried and want to pull the sale, but I know that we could have a wonderful home here. The work is not bothering me too much. Of course we will get someone in to do it all... My DIY is bad....." You must both agree to...

    Just had Survey from Hell on House we are buying....

    Why not look for a decent place and increase your top price by perhaps 25K?

    Insurance Opinions welcome.

    The initial claim is from the injured pedestrian against the car drivers insurance, which in turn will make a claim against the supermarket.

    New Boiler Fitted All Radiators Hot But Strange Issue

    As a layman, with the fact that there appear to be three room thermostats and each radiator has a TRV which takes priority and therefore control?

    Pink Floyd

    Lucky me, I'm going to see Rick Wakeman at the Albert Hall in April. Pink Floyd are great if you can put up with it, and Atom Heart Mother is the album to put anybody to sleep, but it's great - fried breakfast!

    Identify my Boiler?

    Quite, it seems that galwag also identified that and it was slightly loose, and since repositioning it has worked fine. Many thanks.

    Identify my Boiler?

    Thanks for that, in truth there isn't much to go wrong, but knowing that the spares are there is encouraging.

    Identify my Boiler?

    You may have identified it for me; the connector moved in by a fraction of an inch, and then when I hit the programmer, it fired up, so many thanks for that suggestion. (odd how that can happen though there had been no pressure on that unit). That will now give me time to finish servicing the...

    So the upshot of that is that you cannot identify my boiler either, thanks for the concern.

    Identify my Boiler?

    thanks for asking; it had been running fine until, having shut the gas off, then relit, the pilot ignites, but after waiting for twenty plus seconds and the pilot burning independently, it won't flare either when the control is turned up or the system switched on. As you say, all parts are...
