    walk or not ?

    Walk straight on in all cases, cos they're probably just regular Joes and if on the off-chance they aren't, I'm trained in Martial Arts so I'd have a good chance of causing enough confusion to do a runner.

    Footings in chalk

    Hi all, I'm new here so hello to everyone, hopefully this is a simple question to answer. I'm putting in footings for a conservatory, the soil under my house is chalk and its only about 6 inches down. If I have solid chalk to lay my footings in do I really need to go to the regulation...
