Actually the company John Lewis which owns Waitrose is entirely owned by its employees and the profits are shared amongst its employees in an annual bonus where they all receive the same bonus as a percentage of their basic pay.

True and point taken, I suppose I mean that 18 degrees with underfloor heating will generally result in a warmer room over all compared to heating with radiators as the heat is throughout the whole room not just near the radiators I would also say that although I am not an expert IMHO ASHPs...

Setting the underfloor heating to 21 degrees seems high to me, generally underfloor heating doesn't need to be as hot as radiators as its a more efficient way of heating. Also with a well insulted house it should not take as much energy to get the floor back up to 18 degrees again.

Is it not just a case of heat rises?

But it was G4S who failed to provide the number of security personnel requested by Government not Government failing to request enough security staff from G4S

Trim or plane down both sides by about 5mm

I hope you have sorted the source of the damp which caused it all to go rotten if not chipboard would be a very bad choice as it will not last long in damp conditions. I would always go for Ply for flooring if not using proper floorboards as its much stronger and more stable than chipboard.

Would a cat flap in the cellar door not be easier?

I suspect you may wel have to lose some of the lower part of your window to allow a proper joint between wall and new roof. Which will not be cheap and may well compromise the look of the whole thing. It seems like poor design work to me.

I am not an electrician but that seems a reasonable price to me

Manipulating the fibreglass ???? I'm no expert but don't they form the fibreglass in place, so it fibre and liquid until it sets so no problem with manipulating it anyway. Personally I would be tempted to just put lead over the existing valleys (after removing any cement and replacing once...

Totally idiotic mistake to make its obvious to anyone with half a brain that tied up like that the branch would swing towards him once cut.

IMHO if the plaster board is dotted and dabbed onto a solid brick wall then you want to drill holes and use screws long enough to reach the brickwork (with appropriate rawl plugs) which should give you a nice solid hold to support to weight of your TV. Be careful not to go too deep as you do not...

You will have more than one local councillor quite possibly there is another one from another political party who will be more than happy to take up your case with the relevant council officers and in the process no doubt expose the apparent corruption of the original councillor

Because plasterboard is not designed to be painted and it will look crap

Gloss should not clump and drip if you are a half decent decorator but I do prefer the look of satinwood myself

Why not just no more nails a couple of thin strips of wood to the aluminium?

Rates for electricity from Solar PV are going down rapidly (halved in 2 years) while rates for Electricity from gas are going up quickly. At some point there will be a crossover when renewables become cheaper than electricty from gas but if we don't invest in renewables now then that will never...

Your electricity bills are so much higher only in a small part due to FITs the vast majority of this rise is due to increased gas prices (gas being the main fuel used for power stations in the UK) and other fossil fuel costs. The benefit of the FITs scheme even for those not having a renewable...

No I don't agree the FITs are totally unrealistic they add a tiny amount to people bills (and of course this is only because the power companies pass on the cost rather than taking it out of their profits) the increase to bills because of FITS in negligible when compared tot he increases due to...
