    Thanks for the advice. I will check.

    Masonry adhesive

    Right. I had thought about No Nails but thought this stuff might be better. However, reading the small print, I think it is pretty much the same but a bit dearer. I'll go with No Nails then as I already have a new cartridge. Thanks.

    Masonry adhesive

    Some coping stones on my low garden wall have come loose but not all of them. The ones that haven't come loose cannot be persuaded to come off and the cement course under the loose stones is not in a hurry to come off either. Therefore, to refit the stones without removing the cement course I...

    Removing green algae from fence

    I have seen various tips on how to do this and many suggest using a pressure washer. However, I have also read that using a pressure washer can damage the wood and can wash out preserver from pressure treated timber. After cleaning, I will be applying a wood treatment but want to get the fence...

    Wall basket liners

    My wife has been trawling the web a bit more and though she had found what we wanted. However, when you go to the sites, the liners have been discontinued. However, found plenty of rolls of jute for making up liners so might make a cutting template for my baskets and make my own liners.

    Wall basket liners

    We have always used coir type liners in our 16" wall baskets. However, we do find that they take up a lot of planting space and wanted to try something thinner this year. Ideally we would like to try the jute/wool type but they all seem to be designed for round baskets. Has anyone adapted these...

    New expanding hose.

    My expanding garden hose recently split. However, considering I bought it not long after these hoses first appeared, it hasn't done badly at all. It hasn't been treated particularly gently either. When I bought this one, there was not really any choice, however, now there are dozens. They seem...

    Pressure washer power control

    I chucked everything when the old one died so won't have the compatibility issue. Thanks for the warning though, its worth knowing.

    Pressure washer power control

    Thanks for that. This is obviously the way they do things now. I am looking at the K3 Home edition which doesn't seem to have the display on the handle which is fine by me. The more expensive K3 Power Control has the display on the handle.

    Pressure washer power control

    I can't really fault my old pressure washer. It was an old Karcher K2 which was an Ebay return. Lasted over 12 years with less than careful handling so can't complain. However, I now need a replacement and I am quite happy to get another Karcher. The question is, how is the water pressure...

    Smart gas meter not being read

    Maybe, but I would like to see the figures they based their £5600 estimate on. Probably the ones that Eon used to try and charge me over 7 grand for a few months gas!

    Smart gas meter not being read

    Just a (hopefully) last update on this issue. I sent Octopus the pictures they requested and they said they could now go about the process of getting my gas meter communicating correctly. Shortly after, they emailed to say they were now receiving remote gas meter readings and attached an amended...

    Smart gas meter not being read

    Yes they should. However, today I have had an email apology from Octopus stating that they were using the wrong units. They want photos of my gas meter front panel so they can correct this at their end and thus correct my previous bills accordingly. I will also be bringing up the issue of remote...

    Smart gas meter not being read

    Sorry John, that statement of mine wasn't very clear. What I really meant to say was that my old meter read cu ft and this was reflected on my old statements prior to my smart meters being fitted. As soon as the new meters were fitted, my statements went to cu metres. Even though I was still...

    Smart gas meter not being read

    That's interesting. Originally I thought that my gas meter wasn't sending readings to the electricity meter either. However, I am getting gas readings on my IHD and a check via the Citizens Advice website showed the gas meter was sending out readings. In some ways I wish the meter wasn't sending...

    Smart gas meter not being read

    My old meter measured in cu ft and my old EON charges were based on cu ft readings. Once I had the new meters fitted, my statements went to cu metres as expected. I didn't expect to regress back to cu ft 12 months later. Very odd but hopefully being sorted out.

    Smart gas meter not being read

    I wasn't going to mention the other issue I am having at the moment as hopefully it is in hand. But after seeing someone had said that they trust their billing to be correct, I thought I would just mention my other issue. Although we are mostly gas, we do try to keep our consumption down to a...

    Smart gas meter not being read

    Thanks for that. I'm not moving anything now. Now I realise that my electricity meter is getting info from the gas meter (because my IHD is updating correctly), I will be contacting my supplier.

    Smart gas meter not being read

    Thanks very much for the Citizens Advice link, I was not aware of this. I did a check via the site and it says my gas meter is working correctly in smart mode. Therefore the next step will be contacting my supplier about the problem. Its just nice to have a bit of prior knowledge before speaking...

    Smart gas meter not being read

    OK. Thanks for the info. I just wasn't sure of the protocol with respect to the flow of information. Specifically, I didn't know whether the data from the gas meter was relayed through the electricity meter to the IHD or whether the gas meter communicated directly with the IHD. If the IHD picks...
