    Round Concrete Inspection Chamber Lid - where to get one?

    Hi folks I'm looking for a replacement one of these but can't even find an image of one online, let alone one to buy. Am I looking in the wrong places and/or using the wrong search terms? Or are they hard to come buy? The inner diameter of the plastic ring the lid sits in is 343mm...

    20 Million on Benefits

    I'd recommend to anyone on either side of the debate - who hasn't come across it before - taking a good couple of hours reading up on Modern Monetary Theory. Stupid name, because it is not all that modern, is based more on fiscal rather than monetary policy, and is not a theory. But name...

    Kitchen waste - compression vs push fit for outside? Which pipe? And do I need an AAV?

    OK, great, thanks for that. Solvent weld it is then, and pleased no AAV is needed. One less thing to have to think about! On a different but related matter, I've been advised to avoid using a sink trap with stubby connector for dishwasher (before the U bend trap), as with these you hear all...

    Kitchen waste - compression vs push fit for outside? Which pipe? And do I need an AAV?

    Great - thank you very much for the super quick reply. Thanks for explaining the down sides of push fit. Is there a reason compression is never used outside? Same thing about the seals perishing or another reason? Funnily enough, I expect as you were typing that out I was editing my...

    Kitchen waste - compression vs push fit for outside? Which pipe? And do I need an AAV?

    Hi all Sorry for the long title but thought best to bung all these questions together. I'll be fitting a new kitchen sink soon and am unsure on the following... 1. Compression vs Push Fit for outside? I know solvent weld is the preferred and professional choice, but I'd really like to be...

    How’s Rachael from accounts getting on…..

    Yeah, I'd imagine so. Although to be fair she was saying she would remove winter fuel payments as much as 11 years ago. So at least she's been consistent on that one!

    How’s Rachael from accounts getting on…..

    Going against their pledge to tackle non-doms, as per post #117, is one of their worst moves yet in my opinion, and there are plenty to choose from! To quote: Reeves told an event hosted by the Wall Street Journal: "We have been listening to the concerns that have been raised by the non-dom...

    How’s Rachael from accounts getting on…..

    Couldn't agree more, on all counts. But it's a big world out there. Why should we in the UK/West get to choose which animals it's abhorrent to eat and use for testing, and which ones we can kill and torture indiscriminately?

    How’s Rachael from accounts getting on…..

    For the record, the vast majority of people in China do not eat dogs. Some do, yes. Hardly anyone at all eats cats. Whilst on the subject of dogs - in case anyone is unaware, here in the UK we breed and use beagles for testing. Their docile, loving, people-pleasing nature makes them ideal. Some...

    How’s Rachael from accounts getting on…..

    It made me laugh too :) Ignorance and low IQ have their funny side. On a more serious note, take the p!ss, don't engage, then ignore. Sounds like someone who can really rub the ol' brain cells together.

    Instead of being racist, why not explain your logic? We can have a proper conversation then....

    No I don't. Seems completely illogical to me.

    Crikey, I can't for the life of me think what you mean. Oh... Hang, on... Cows, pigs, lambs, chickens, turkeys, fish, etc... Got it.

    Vauxhall Combo Life: Can you make front seats fully recline?

    Haha - yes, good thinking!

    Vauxhall Combo Life: Can you make front seats fully recline?

    Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, a conversion of sorts for the back is likely on the cards as well. But because we're used to sleeping in the front it would be good to have that option as well. We can then choose which would be most appropriate according to the trip (where we're going, how...

    Vauxhall Combo Life: Can you make front seats fully recline?

    Many thanks for the replies. No, there is nothing behind restricting the travel/recline. So guessing it must be something in the recline mechanism itself. I've got a couple of photos now showing just how small the amount of recline is. The driver's seat is at maximum recline. I know...

    Vauxhall Combo Life: Can you make front seats fully recline?

    Hi I'm looking for a new car and one of the potentials is a Combo Life. It ticks all the boxes except for one thing.... The front seats only recline part way (maybe around 45 degree angle at the lowest?). We often go away for short breaks in the car and sleep in the front, with the seats fully...

    Rough roads - what difference would these wheel/tyre sizes make?

    Many thanks for the reply and explanations. That makes sense RE reducing the rim and increasing the side wall to maintain the overall same radius. I tend to drive quite slowly and carefully nowadays, not like I did when I was younger! So I'm not so worried about performance as such. I...

    Dacia Duster vs Jogger vs Logan Stepway - please help me decide which to get?!

    Hi Just wondered if there are any Dacia owner/fans on the forum? I'm in the market for a used Dacia and wondered if I can pick people's brains as to which I should go for... I'm trying to decide between a Duster, Jogger and Logan Stepway. Petrol only, as we do a fair few very short journeys...

    Rough roads - what difference would these wheel/tyre sizes make?

    Hi I'm looking for a new (used) car. Needs to tick several boxes, one of which is that I live in the mountains where the roads are poor quality with loads of rough patches, potholes, etc. The cars I've short listed have the following spec tyres: - 205/55 R16. - 205/60 R16. - 215/65 R16. I've...
