who were in favour of EE immigration, job centres are having to employ polish interpeters due to the high amount of polish claimants which have been left (like the rest of us) out of work. The only difference is that they: a) were happy to pay 50 quid in cash a week and share a bedsit with...

thanks. the space inside is tight. but the problem with a potential frost would still be there?

Hello, I have a feed to an outside tap which branches off about 1m after the kitchen stop tap. The pipe its on feeds the kitchen sink. The pipe to the outside tap is about 20 cm long. It is an old house so I suspect it is not up to water regs standard. A surveyor mentioned i need an...

Hello, I have today lifted the decking area surrounding part of my house. This was bodged and erected over square slabs. Some of the surface area is made up by a concrete slab on which an outbuilding was built (this was demolished ages ago). My question is can i lay gravel over these...

hello, have you got any leaks in the loft? It may not be as bad as you think. Are you sure it isn't something like a gutter or drain pipe moving? anyhow get a few people down and don't necessarily believe the ones that tell you you'll need a new roof.... had one of those at my house...

thanks for the advice. I would not mind killing a rat with a pistol, i am just concerned that a squirrel could get caught in one of those traps. I know many treat squirrels as vermin but imho they are nice. Today i've removed most of the decking and yesterday i got rid of bird food, is it...

http://www.trap-man.com/rat-trap-multi-catch-humane-rat-trap.htm do these work for rats? We have some rats in the garden but also squirrels and birds. I want to kill the first but not other little animals that come to our garden. I know traps are better than poison but i was wondering...

how old was your previous meter? did you ask for the replacement?

Hi, I'd like to know what happens if a customer does not allow his supplier to change the meter once it has reached a certain age. Can the supplier just leave the old meter and declare it unsafe? I've moved into a property and i'm pretty sure the meter is past the sell by date. There is...

Hi, http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj111/rickb_2008/100_9500.jpg I'd like to move the waterfall and replace it with bricks so that the wall is integral. I've removed the pond so where you see the pond now it's just flat ground. However the waterfall is still there. How difficult...

thanks for all the replies. I thought the roof did not need replacing. I've already fallen for this trick once, having been told i needed a rewire when there was no need. At the time I did not know much about wiring or regs so i fell for it. A few extra sockets upstairs and a new CU with...

I've had some roofing work done to my roof (chimney removal) and i was satisifed with the work. However the roofer told me i need a new roof and i would be throwing bad money at it if i did any more repairs to it in the future. He reckons the felt is keeping the water out and it is now...

thanks, thats reassuring. i think i'll take the plunge and get them down here.

Hello, I have a 9 year hold worcester bosh boiler. I need to have it serviced but i don't know any Corgi here in manchester. I thought of getting Worcester to service the thing and they would charge 115 quid. are these guys all right or are they likely to "suggest" a new boiler? Any...

christ, never though that even a diy forum like this would be so frigging politically correct.

what a sad t..t you must be, posting on a forum on a friday night at 110 in the morning. Ar you that imbecile knows it all type that posts on the elctrical forum?

i know. :( and i also know that barristers and solicitors are the ones making all the money out of this mess.

do you love it?

your point is valid, but the way law is structured at the moment you have criminals getting away scotfree and a compensation culture society. Who do I hold responsible for this? The mass increase in law firms around the country who are there to make a profit. How do you stop this? By reducing...

my solutions to cut crime in this country? 1) cut mass immigration 2) nationalize the legal system, make sure that law is a non profit entity 3) introduce emergency laws that restrict the influence of civil liberty groups. points 1 and 3 could be applied temporarily until the situation...
