    How about paying less tax the more you earn? "Not so daft"

    A few year back one of the new countries formed when yugoslavia got split up came up with the idea on personal tax to pay 20% for everyone up to 15k. Then 18% from 15-25K & 16% on 25-35K. It was to encourage the more wealthy to stay in the country & pay taxes instead of moving money outside...

    Neighbour getting smells from our extractor fan?

    If you do it a better way & duct it through the outside wall, all neighbours will get it. A ridiculous way around it is ducting it up a lined chimney if you have one or an external pipe up the wall, like restaurants have to do.

    If you can get hold of one a Evolution chop saw with metal blade. I had a project in my back garden & had to cut 148 pieces of scaffold tube & i am still using the same blade. Great tool.

    Terrorist banged up for life - about time!

    Lets hope the inmates make friends with him.;) I hate the idea we have to pay a massive amount of money to keep him locked up.

    Generator advice needed - thinking of buying one for a small bungalow

    If you are after good generators, Honda & Yamaha make good quiet ones, but not cheap. Honda around £1200.00 for a 2kw & another thousand plus for a 3kw. Same with Yamaha. But i was surprised at how many good looking ones on Facebook at good prises. Good luck. PS: Hyundai is another good make. I...

    Generator advice needed - thinking of buying one for a small bungalow

    Not very expensive to do, but have a look at a geny with an lpg conversion. certainly run cleaner, slightly quieter & if you feel it might be used often?, get a 47kl bottle of gas, it will last ages, plus 20 BQ's. The other things now days is petrol goes off quite quickly. Had that a few times...

    Is adding an indirect cylinder to a combi boiler the right solution?

    Well worth checking water pressure & flow rate before fitting a pressurized system. For the sake of a £15 meter & a large bucket for flow rate. Your looking for minimum 1.5-2 bar & a flow rate of 20lt per minuets "Absolute" minimum. Not sure? but you might be better with 2 bathrooms on a larger...

    Can I replace this switch with regular socket?

    Sorry, but you dont put 0.5 , 0.7 1.0 or 1.5kw storage heaters on a 20 amp switch. You fuse them down with a fused spur fitted with a 5 to 13amp fuse.

    Electric wires cut by vermin?

    Had them at my place a couple of year back & it was my fault in that we left half a brick out for a temp sink & they climb in & up the insulation in the cavity wall in my bungalow into the loft & got a taste for my pipe lagging. "Strange" So we got about half a dozon traps & found they liked...

    Generator advice needed - thinking of buying one for a small bungalow

    I would of thought a change over switch at the main intake would be fine with a 4kw geny, But you need to make sure all heavy items are switched off before starting the geny & throwing the change over switch. And a good heavy duty plug to go into the geny from the mains.

    Electric wires cut by vermin?

    Don't forget the mice, lol. We found out a long time ago that they go for cables as its a bi product of oil & all oil has protein in it. Sorry to say, they love it can decimate wiring & even worse if its a flat roof. You need to have a good look around & block every hole & wire mesh if air needs...
