    Liverpool Man Sentenced

    He chose the wrong time and place to have his Michael Douglas 'Falling Down' moment.

    A bit of good news...

    This isn't the bit that Brexit voters cared about, and they don't now. It would've happened sooner if we didn't have "bloody difficult" Theresa and "oven ready" Boris doing the negotiations. It seems like this headline has been proven wrong...

    Getting a new worktop, sink and taps.

    No one's suggesting a £100 cowboy, but there are always variables, we don't know if this is South Kensington or South Shields.

    Getting a new worktop, sink and taps.

    Get some quotes, I don't know of any chippies charging £1000 a day.

    Insulating and waterproofing external bathroom wall

    Marmox multiboard, available in a variety of thicknesses. If you put heavy tiles on it be sure to use adhesive and the proper fixings. Basically follow manufacturers instructions.

    Damp proof course ??

    Probably not, unless there's a specific issue at this point.

    Is this Asbestos or Cement Board

    Suspect, treat it as if it is.

    Add joists or sister existing ones?

    You probably don't even need an end bearing. Sistering the joist, with bolts/nails at appropriate centers, will help to prevent the original joist from deflecting in the middle, under the weight of the tub. The weight of the bath won't cause the timber to shear off at the ends.

    Lining a cast iron gutter with uPVC gutter

    Would make for a better bodge.

    Immigrants built Britain

    I know that heating engineers can be a bit up themselves but even that is a brag too far.

    Immigrants built Britain

    I was referring to the Normans, they, plus the Romans have had probably the biggest influence in the direction of this nation, our customs and cultures and the way we live our lives today. But neither were invited, or came here on friendly terms.

    Lining a cast iron gutter with uPVC gutter

    The joints are too lumpy, so it wouldn't sit nicely in the gutter, they would overflow over the sides, rainwater would get in around the sides, wind would dislodge them, etc etc. I'd agree with repair, just do the bits where it's leaking, standing water isn't a huge deal in gutters.

    Spying on a visitor

    Is this for baby monitor? Naughty puppy? A teenager on crack? Wife snagging the milkman?

    Immigrants built Britain

    Yes, British was built by immigrants, foreign invaders wanting to control us and replace our way of life with theirs.

    End of jury trials?

    Well, an old lady vicar is not allowed to sit on some steps campaigning for peace without being arrested. I suspect many of this 'backlog of cases' is just people who have caused no harm to person or property, they are probably awaiting trial because they dared to express an opinion.

    End of jury trials?

    Just another erosion of our freedoms by this lot, the right to protest, ID cards, and now this. Dangerous precedents are being set.

    ULEZ

    People don't spend every hour of every day living and working in one location next to a busy traffic junction. They move around, they travel, they commute, during which time they are exposed to many other sources of pm2.5, so they are not magically breathing in cleaner air all the time, they are...

    ULEZ

    No, Khan. I'm referring to the expansion, which Boris was against.

    CH Pump Problem

    I'd go back to the valves. In the past I've taken a valve head off to see if was working ok and assumed it was, only to find that the spindle was stiff and only moving when it felt like it. If the valve bodies are as old as the pump, they might not be as smooth as they should be.

    ULEZ

    No, that's not my intention. My point is that the argument for ULEZ expansion was weighted against older vehicles and completely ignored these others factors, which people are still exposed to. You walk around London or any other city and see the amount of people that are vaping, smoking...
