Water only has to...

    Do many workplaces not allow mobile phones ?

    Had a customer with a small chain of restaurants in the Herts area that had phone blockers installed. Even though ilegal he let all managers know that regular customers could get baby sitters & alike to call the restaurant. I personally agree with no phones in places like this & not a lover of...

    Heat pump installation costs

    Might have your elec tariff wrong, but my tariff is 6.6p off peak & 0.25p peak & 9500kw works out at £198pm if all on peak. With off peak & battery's a lot less. I'm with Good Energy. & they paid the £50 to move, plus no questions on how i use the electric. IE: Must have an EV for battery...

    Heat pump installation costs

    Personally i would ask around with what a heat pump cost to run. I would only be installing it if i was saving money on gas or electric. Quite often a heat pump is top up with another fuel, IE: electric. This will always be the most expletive fuel as it needs gas/oil/coal to produce it. So, at...

    Cracks under Steel Beam

    Personally i think its better to block off the cavity & shutter it & poor in concrete. Your guaranteed to get a perfect pad stone bridged across the cavity & spreading the load evenly. But even if using pad stones they should be bridging the cavity like image to spread the load.

    Interesting Regulation of Yesteryear

    Got to also remember thing change for a reason. Many appliances in a kitchen where often 3kw & i personally wouldn't put a 3kw appliance on a plug & would hard wire it in to a flex outlet plate. Plugs & sockets can often get warm & hot at 3kw = 13.4A at 230v. Thankfully many appliances are 2kw...

    Rich tax-dodgers were bluffing

    Agree! cant remember which country, but it was when the eastern block country's finished their wars & wanted to keep any rich people at home. Everyone was taxed at 20%, then after 30K it dropped to 18% & so on to 8%. They also gave the same person a extra 0.5% tax relief to each person they...

    How do you see your self politically

    It costs between 10-15K to look after one of these prisoners, why they never sorted that Ruanda deal as just about any African or Indian country would do it for a 3rd of the price of the UK & still make money.

    Out building - shed

    A tiny bit more expensive with SIP's, but a 5 times better build & a lot quicker than making it out of studwork. My vote is for Mrrusty. I just put up a 9x6 shed compleatly built by me & cost was around £1300 with concrete base & a shiplap finish.

    How do you see your self politically

    I basically miss trust the lot for promising the earth & then apologising for why it hasn't happened with lessons in avoidance of important questions asked. I have the same opinion with councils & police. I wouldn't help anyone of them. NO:1 & family is the best ones to look after.

    Where’s my electricity going!?

    Not sure why a lot of forums do this. I have missed out on many post on other forums. You would think it should be the other way around where you tick a box if you dont want to hear / get replys.

    Heat pump installation costs

    Out of curiosity, have checked if you need to have other work done before you qualify for a heat pump grant. When we enquired, we needed to upgrade our insulation & fit solar to qualify. But this was a few year back.
