    shower cubicles

    I agree. I'd prefer large format tiles, 1200 x1000 level access tray, Matki frameless door, hansgrohe mixer (run off a good combi NOT a poxy pump (I despise all shower pumps and I despise pumped wastes even more) or a megaflow (I hate them also)

    Do you realy like what you do?

    Yes, I bet being payed £Xmillion completely ruined the pleasure of playing football for the the likes of Wayne Rooney and his mrs :cry: And I don't watch pornos on a regular basis, but the male actors display of pleasure in his craft looked very convincing :wink:

    Do you realy like what you do?

    Kvasir - I hadn't thought of that :) even though I have had jobs where the work itself wasn't much fun but the people and the job satisfaction made all the difference...example - after leaving school, I went to work in a gang tarmacing for Fitzpatricks. It was hard work, from 7 till 4, like...

    What am I saying? :oops: It's NOT o.k to charge me duty on fags and drink - I pay higher healthcare premiums as it is!! AND I'd rather the roads were all toll roads so those who do 100k miles a year in 4x4 mitsubishi pay their fare share - not just the same as a single mum who drives to tesco...

    Getting quotes

    It seems so many of us miss your points...maybe you don't make them well enough? or maybe you just don't have a point... just an attitude problem?

    How Good Is Your Spelling

    Maybe your spelling was only brought into to it because the content was unasailable - a last ditch attempt to discredit someone whos got them banged to rights... A bit like someone calling a person fat because he beat them at chess :wink:

    Getting quotes

    Softus - What if like me you happen to know several good plasterers, half a dozen good sparks? is it wrong to ask for a quote from each of them? The rule never said "Choose only on price" didi it? Most who quote for work accept their time may be wasted with a healthy nothing ventured...

    Hot water no heating

    I was indeed refering to the grey knob on the boilers control panel that controls the CH level. Have you checked any roomstat you have?

    Hot water no heating

    first - Controls/settings on boiler, roomstat set too low, timer set to CH off, check the pressure in the system (on the guage on the boiler ) and bleed any air from rads.
