I hate it when we ban stuff the way Germany and France do, especially speech, clothing and other forms of free expression. Britain has a proud history of being more liberal and individualist, less bureaurocratic and conformist, than most European nations. Britain was where excommunicated people...

I think 'grossly offensive' (e.g. telling bad taste jokes) is a reasonable synonym for 'gobshite'. *shrug*

EDIT: nm, someone already posted this.

That 'gap' is called the reveal. It's useful both for practicality and superior appearance. But if you really can't fit your new architrave into the space then you can do without a reveal, in a pinch. The seam won't look as good, but most people are too busy looking at their phones these days to...

Thanks guys. Hmm, I actually really like those!

Can you put a regular pendant light in a bathroom if it is outside zone 2?

9:1 is very weak. You should probably go over it with 1:1 to get a more opaque undercoat.

Can you reuse plastic compression fittings? Like, I want to fit a new basin, can I reuse the old 32mm trap?

Uh, Google says the GDP of the US is $18T, and for the EU it is $17T, so the EU is smaller. Per capita figures are $57k for US and $36k for EU, so even smaller still. Author got his numbers wrong?

Because they live in the same country as us, on the same streets as us, speak the same language as us, and are under the constant scrutiny of the Twitter autists and the most ruthless tabloid media in the world.

What does that even mean??

But we have a better chance of discovering MPs' dirty laundry than of ever discovering MEPs' dirty laundry.

OK consensus is falling on the side of furniture first, vinyl last, because the furniture will last longer than the vinyl. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/vinyl-on-bathroom-floor-work-around-furniture.331237/

We'll never know how many duck ponds MEPs buy.

Uh oh, now I don't know what to think! I suppose it makes it easier to replace later, without leaving remnants under the fixtures?

Is it usual to fit your floor covering before fitting bathroom furniture like vanity units, or fit it afterwards and cut around everything?

No I bought the tub new-old-stock, no fittings.

Question is in the title! Having trouble finding a bath waste for my new freestanding (but close to the wall) tub. Can you cut chrome ones to length? Or where can I find a white plastic one that can be cut to length?

Usually it is the coverage, not including the tongue. But there's no guarantee. The building trade is basically s**t when it comes to specifications, so you have to enquire or examine everything. You're doing well when a timber/building supplier lists anything more detailed than: Wood for...
