    How far can I trim this hedge?

    I may be wrong but are you not allowed to put the cuttings back in their garden for them to dispose of? If so that may discourage them from letting it grow to much in the future. Dont quote me on the above I just heard it somewhere.

    Try plugging a network cable into your computer directly from the router and see if the connection improves to see if its the BB itself or the wireless that's effected.

    staircase makeover advice needed

    A good quality white gloss would be fine. If you think about it, skirting, doors, architrave is all glossed for the sole purpose of giving a long lasting hard wearing surface. Sand down to give a good key first. Use a couple of coats and use a fine sand paper in between them.

    Where to get rad - what makes?

    Both rads are of equal quality but charged at different prices. 45% off £100 =£65 10% off £72 = £64.80 The percentage discount is actually the stores mark up, not really a discount. So basically the discount is irrelevant ;)
