The majority of Londoners don't drive, and the majority of Londoners look like him. The majority of Londoners use public transport to get to work https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/tube-workers-exposed-to-fine-dust-sickness-absence/

ULEZ expansion was essential they said, people are getting ill and dying, and it's all caused by older cars. Then, after ULEZ kicks in, stories like this start to come out. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/07/cooking-gas-hob-indoor-air-pollution-uk-road-study...

So when your date turns up with a reciprocating saw, don't assume the worst?

Do they sell those in Screwfix?

I bet she heard far worse banter in the changing rooms when she was a rugger bugger.

Not according to Royal Mail https://www.royalmail.com/compliments-form Postman or postwoman, so why can't it be fireman/firewoman/firefighter, use whichever you prefer? I suspect the 'person' in question doesn't like being referred to as a man or a woman, but she does look like a fighter...

You can probably find a replacement top in the same style. But you'll need to cut it and iron-on edge it. As stated, another second hand one would probably be cheaper. If you can transport it or score free delivery...

That's perfectly reasonable if the builder hasn't built what he agreed to build. The OP did say in the first post that 24sqm is what the 'agreed documents state' Yes he might be one of 'those' customers, but the builder refusing to reduce the price after building a smaller structure than...

Make sure it's not worth more in value unmelted. There was the story of that bloke that sold £15k worth of nicked brass instruments to the scrap dealer for £61! Or find a dodgy pub and ask anyone if they want a cheap Christmas present for the missus.

For the bin, unless you use it for storage in the garage or something. Depends what you want it for. If it really is just the top that's damaged, you might be able to dismantle the top section, and replace it with something else. Wildcard option! Plywood top, then tile it.

Then the builder should put him on the payroll as project manager. We can only answer questions based upon the information given, we can't second guess what the builder's side of the story is, but if they used the word 'miscommunication' then that's code for f***up.

Are these single thickness walls?

That's not the clients problem, the client is paying a price for a completed product, and as it stands, they are getting an eighth less product than they were quoted for.

It's an eighth of the floor area, so at least an eighth of the quote, plus a bit more for the hassle.

She only tells you that out of kindness.

If you bought a 55" TV and they delivered a 48" TV, you'd expect an exchange or partial refund. If pep411 has a quote or written agreement that says 6x4m then where does the miscommunication lie?

Of course it is, you hold a level on it and adjust it until it's where you want it. The weight of a bag of sand on the end of a length of wood stops it from going anywhere. Plus you can jam bricks and rubble down the side as a wedge.

Maybe the builder put in foundations at 6x4m and brickie built the wall in the middle of the foundation, as it should be. It sounds like you have negotiation room for a discount, but if you don't have drawings/quote then you might not get anywhere. Sticking the insulation on the outside is...
