    Winter of Discontent (202)2

    Ive recently done some work with caf rail and they have been forced by the unions to remove most of the automation within the controls of the cab (apparently with a few simple upgrades to the network trains could easily be fully automated), and remove the cameras and screens for the carriages...

    England and Wales, formerly Christian countries

    Common consensus is that Christianity is bad, it is touted ever more and people are very vocal about it, to the point where Christian beliefs (non same sex marriage, no abortions etc etc) are no longer considered to be allowed. LGBTQ+ make a big deal about how bad Christianity is and some in...

    Help - New Rads Wont Heat - Kids Not Happy‍♂️

    Most likely there isn't sufficient flow to the rads cos of the 10mm pipe, the connectors of white flexible pipe are very restrictive, by the time you put the insert in the pipe and the restriction caused by the connection pieces especially on 10mm pipe you'll find that there is quite a chance...

    Thanks Valspar

    yeah it is strange, i'm not sure what the setup is with B & Q whether they have much of a say in the paint provided or not. to get b & q away from dulux they must have offered either a stupidly cheap price or given them more control over the paint mixing process

    Thanks Valspar

    I've only used the top spec valspar (they do 3 from memory) It worked fine, no issues and the coverage was good,.my dad also painted his whole house in valspar but he went for the middle one and highly recommended it. Valspar are owned by Sherwin Williams and valspar themselves aren't a new...

    Cancel Sky

    When I cancelled 7 years ago it took me an hour of them passing me from pillar to post, then eventually I got to a guy who was asking a ton of questions how I watch and what I watch, then asking about my family and what they watch and do I really want to cancel. I was nice and polite for a...

    What to replace a British Gas 330+ with and where to find someone to do the work ?

    On the note of priority hot water. I have a small 200ltr open vented tank, we've got 1 bathroom and 3 of us use it in the morning, the shower is pumped so it burns through water in no time, I'm first and I love a long shower (some of my best thinking is done in the shower) so tend to use most...

    What to replace a British Gas 330+ with and where to find someone to do the work ?

    Do not go for a combi boiler, it just will not do what you need it to be doing. As muggles stated, a good efficient boiler and a large invented cylinder will likely be the way forward. Modern cylinders are really well insulated. Only downside is you have to use an installer who is g3 certed...

    Some oil companies grumble at the idea...

    Evidently you don't understand it. Peak oil is a hypothetical theory based on the oil running out. You are determining that the reason the oil is controlled is to prolong the point at which we hit peak oil. This is the bit you don't seem to understand... This notion you purport to believe is...

    Some oil companies grumble at the idea...

    It appears you definitely do not understand it. It's an outdated hypothetical theory, which has missed many many supposed peak oil dates. It is now believed that the switch to greener sources and the wish to reduce global warming will make this theory defunct. There is plenty of oil in the...

    £7k a month benefits?!?

    By keeping people poor it keeps the rate of inflation down. Bank of England are actively seeking to stop businesses expanding and wants to force shutdowns and redundancies, they want people to lose their homes as it means the common man has less money to spend which gets a hold on inflation and...
