    Ideas for protecting drain pipe from parking mishaps?

    I wonder what you can hang from that bracket? Hanging basket? Punchbag? Wind chimes? Church bell? Inflatable chicken? Something that is visible to the driver, and that a car can hit without doing damage

    London one of safest cities in the world

    It's curious isn't it - what the facts are, how we make sense of them or not, and how that relates to our particular cherished positions - I very much include myself in this. Here's a surprising piece from Fix the News - I'm sure someone will have the time to find the underlying research...

    High Gas Bills - Worchester Bosch and Tado

    You could try just heating the rooms you're in. We don't heat empty rooms, and we don't have heating on at night. We keep doors closed between rooms whenever possible. Even though the tank is well insulated, we only heat water shortly before we're going to use it. I think our condensing boiler...

    Can I snip these wires and embed in the wall?

    I'm wondering what the wall construction is? If it's plasterboard, you might find that you can pull the cable out if you first remove the plaster around each end of it.

    Whats App

    My WhatsApp number is the same as my decades old pre smartphone Nokia number. So you might be able to set it up with one of those, assuming you have one? Or maybe borrow a smartphone, put in your mobile SIM, setup WhatsApp, then put everything back
