    London cyclists dropping like flies

    Road is Tamworth Road, B6540. The section I described is Sawley Marina towards the A50. Streetview is from before they put in the cycle lane signs. They did alot of flood defence and ditch improvement and widened the path into the bank while they were at it, giving the cyclists a chance to...

    Opening up chimney breast

    Definately get a guard, if you should allow a child to die by absence of a fireguard there will be a ten pound fine. (according to my 1920's home owners guide...)

    Post & Beam garden motorcycle workshop

    Harlows Timber, think they have sites all over. Actually charge timber yard prices and stocks are good, Wicks and B&Q are a joke. (Although wicks is handy at 7pm...) Sit and draw what you want, then work out how many lengths of what you want in advance. You may also find that getting...

    London cyclists dropping like flies

    To add some balance, cyclists that don't use perfectly good cycle lanes are very annoying. On my way to work there is a B road with a fantastic cycle path, do they use it? No, they slow traffic or force dangerous overtakes, the road isn't wide enough for cycles and two lanes of traffic...

    London cyclists dropping like flies

    In my experience, London is a horrible, filthy place. I hate it. It is this way because there is too much traffic. The standard of driving I've witnessed is terrible, so incredibly agressive and general awareness of surroundings is nil. Although I believe driving standards in general are...

    Pony tails on men!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I like to think I'm making the most of it while I have it, my hair is part way down my back. Usually have my hair tied into almost a 'bun' at the back, keeps it out of the way. Not quite a pony tail, but... It's funny as loads of people think I'm Spanish / Italian(!)

    Heating bills - a fairer way?

    It's in relation to scale, huge private companies also have a gigantic culture of waste. If the system is setup correct from the off, most of the waste creation can be avoided. I work for large international company, the culture of waste is insane. Conversely, my partner is in the public...

    Heating bills - a fairer way?

    Not suggesting it should be directly central government controlled, however; removing the profit motive is likely to benefit. The energy free market has failed, some things don't lend themselves to such a system.

    The missing window

    Hahaha, that's brilliant. I can imagine the conversation between husband and wife, "John, where's that window with the horrible net curtain, it's looking manky, give it a clean" I then imagine an assortment of random holes in the kitchen wall to find said window...

    Heating bills - a fairer way?

    Nationalise it. Remove profit for shareholders, base 'profit' yield on projected investment, shortfalls to be met by government, because; afterall it is national infrastructure. While we're at it lets do water, telecoms, 'public' transport, insurance and banking. (look at the recent...

    Garden office - are you allowed to build corridor connecting

    Instead of an enclosed corridor, why not build a covered walkway? It'll still be cold, but you won't get wet.

    Change Outside Toilet to Inside Lobby Building Stipulations

    Strictly speaking you will at least need regs on the opening, i.e. that it is correctly supported. "Porches" under a certain size do not need any building regs as long as they are separated by an insulated (read; external) door and where there is heating it is independently controlled...

    Need advice putting on a shed felt

    2*3 = 6 not 5m pitch, overlap and overhang will mean you'll want a third run, So you want 3*3 = 9. What type of felt you want depends on how long you want it to last. I just bought some 20yr 2-layer (underlay and capsheet) for my 4.5x2.5m shed. Wasn't cheap, but I don't want to...

    Right of access to the neighbour’s land

    I can't believe this is still going and the OP still refuses to let himself be helped. It's a bit like when college students try to write an essay from yahoo answers(!) As this is still going nowhere fast, I offer an anteater: :mrgreen: (it is however, a great reflection...

    Right of access to the neighbour’s land

    Firstly remove your location that is publicly displayed, then post a reasonable description of the issue. You don't have to say "bob, 52 of 37 nightingale crescent, le371pq is a right miserable git who won't let me in his south facing mature garden to maintain the guttering of my 3 doored...

    Pruning a neglected silver birch?

    I agree, the whole block of gardens looks better for having it and it would be sorely missed, especially as it breaks up the view of the elderly flats nicely. There is no intention to kill or remove the tree, just get it looking it's best. I don't want to prune it, it's not even my tree(!)...
