Defence cuts probably, they'll be sending troops out with catapults and rocks next.

Typical "jump on the bandwagon" way that many industries operate. There is that much crap written on the labels and outer packaging of food these days that I never even bother reading it. I know what is good and bad for you and that's that. I don't need a "traffic light" indicator of how much...

Whatever you do don't sort out your cavity walls then have wall tie replacement work done via anchor bolt insertion. In some cases wall tie replacement = anchor bolts between the wall layers. So out come the big heavy hilti drills and off come the backs of the bricks from the inside face of...
