    Wiring Lampholder - no terminal blocks ?

    Using very small screwdriver you can release the "spring" and get the cable out. Rather idiotic not to have proper terminals if you ask me like most modern things it's "easier" i.e they save 0.25 pence per item, and if anyone dies nobody knows anything.

    Plain Tiles with No Battens, Repair - is it possible ?

    I was up on a similar roof last week it appears there are some good options. This roof is double lapped which means about 1.5 " overlap of the 2nd tile, so you can no doubt get a self tapping screw through the gap with a strip of lead on it and use it to hang the tile. Another option is to hang...

    BBC news Black out

    Just discovered the U.N. "Population Division" charged with destroying British people and British culture. Their sacred duty is to destroy all existing nations, and the BBC is a big part of their plan. https://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/content/about-the-un

    Plain Tiles with No Battens, Repair - is it possible ?

    Hi. Have the beginning of some dampness under this roof. House is 120 years old, this roof has no felt or battens, the slope is wooden boards and the tiles nailed straight on. Looks like the last 5 rows of tiles are losing nails and shifting, I'd like to replace just them (rather than redoing...

    New Lamp Posts Everwhere since Covid ???

    Well as they say the more lighting switch on, the more of the climate you can save. That's why all the cars have their lights on in the daytime in the bright sunshine. Progress will save us ....

    New Lamp Posts Everwhere since Covid ???

    Is it just my imagination or have roads and pavements in the last few years become pegged with millions of new lampposts ... there is for instance a stretch near rottingdean where you could drive with a sea view now grey pegs along the length, same in many other roads of all sorts. Arrived when...

    Defense Minister talks about Conscription

    What's the point of defending the country when the fanatical goal is to erase the native population? Perhaps it's to replace the remaining British men so that the coffin is irrevocable? Russia ! Ever heard of hypersonic missiles? Start with something manageable like the bread maker on that...

    Flashing Sash Window

    Hi, am looking to redo the flashing on the sill of a triple sash. Perhaps someone can give me some advice. I'll get a small butane hand-held torch for brazing and practice a lot. The plan I have is to cut three trays braze on any upstands and join them together somehow. For the overlap between...

    Before Angle Beads

    Was watching some guys rendering a wall the other day thinking, a 3 year old could do that. Is this really what adult men do in 2023? Was wondering how people made corners before angle beads ? Perhaps somebody knows? Anybody still take pride in being able to plaster without assistance ? ( I am...

    BBC Top Gear won't return

    The rainbows will be toasting champers tonight, perhaps they'll bring out a black version. It's important to destroy all of the culture of the British people, it helps with the emptying and filing that is happening. But then again Nature has a strange laws, something like fight or die ... can't...

    What Ridiculousness

    I couldn't care less, I think the English are committing suicide, but that's their own foolishness. I am not defending her, she just seemed like she was more normal. As for that stupid Sky interview you posted with totally insincere fools interviewing the answer Truss gave (just for the record)...
