  1. Cracks caused by subsidence are quite distinctive. Suggest you post some photos of the cracks here and we will give you an assessment.
  2. Agreed 100%. Don't go near your insurance provider. You will condemn your property to massively increased premiums for ever more. Plus you will find it virtually impossible to switch insurers in the future.

    The fifth?

    As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab. Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.
  4. A set of 3 IKEA Rationell drawers - suitable for a 600mm wide floor unit. These come with soft close runners. The fronts have a couple of dings/scratches so they may be best suited for use in a workshop cabinet - which is what I did with some others I acquired. Only £30 the lot - complete with runners.
  5. Full sheet of 3mm clear perspex - £40
  6. Full sheet of 3mm clear perspex - £40
  7. For those wanting to boycott US products, it might be useful to consider a list of brands owned by Proctor and Gamble:- Ariel laundry detergent Crest toothpaste[4] Dawn dishwashing Downy fabric softener and dryer sheets Fairy washing up liquid Febreze odour eliminator Gillette razors, shaving soap, shaving cream, body wash, shampoo, deodorant Head & Shoulders shampoo Olay personal and beauty products Oral-B oral hygiene products Pantene haircare products Tide laundry detergents and products Vicks cough and cold products
  8. When it went from £20 to £40, we started sharing a bin and increased our composting efforts. But £84 is just too much to bear. I can see this having unintended consequences.
  9. For people working from home it is essential to have continuous access to the Internet and that means keeping the Internet router supplied with power during an outage in the mains electricity supply. I started WFH due to Covid in 2020 and invested in a UPS - an Uninterrupted Power Supply - to keep my router and PC running without any disruption. This has been superb and we are replacing it because we need more capacity as both of us now WFH. The UPS is an APC Back UPS CS325 and this provides enough power to run the router and one PC for about 3 hours. It is in super condition and will serve somebody very well . Selling this for £30

    For sure! It's seems like he is injecting Trump with steroids. Trump has got even more deranged ever since Vance became VP. Having read Hillbilly Elegy, I came to see where his insular , isolationist slant came from. But he's very bright , having graduated from Yale, but he is a dangerous individual with tunnel vision. He could be "the first" - that is the first VP to be assassinated. As for Trump, he can only face a rising tide of hostility from sacked government employees and mid-west farmers whose produce is subject to retaliatory import duties by China . Watch this space.

    Yes, time to drain the swamp that is the White House.
  12. I'm looking for a used kitchen drawer unit with 3 or 4 drawers. Can be 50mm or 60cm wide.

    The fifth?

    So far 4 US presidents have been assassinated in office. What chances that DJT is the fifth? Ladbrokes have it at 9/4 that he will not make it to the end of his term. 9/4 seems good odds considering his bizarre behaviour.
  14. Thanks to those who responded. Plumber required to set up external water supply to garden at end of 5m underground run.
  15. TLC Direct in Penge do them.
  16. Must be some lurking out there.
  17. Looking to buy about 8 metres of Twin and Earth 1.5mm Electrical Cable 6242Y. Do you have a part reel left over from a job? Willing to pay.
  18. Please do not junk your old kitchen. I may be able to use some of the old units in my DIY workshop and certainly will you give something for the right size units.
  19. Can someone suggest where I can get an A3 sized color photocopy done?
  20. The Teslas seemingly will be armour plated versions of a model yet to be announced. Estimated cost is $400m!
  21. Totally agree just as China will do now that we paying Mauritius to take Chagos off our hands.
  22. I wouldn't go within 1000 miles of Musk. He is weird beyond imagination, manipulative and egotistical - just to mention 3 . His latest decision is to direct that new Teslas should be sent to every US embassy around the world to replace all other cars.
  23. UK overseas aid money has been funding gender lectures in Kenya, poetry workshops in Colombian jails and shrimp research in Bangladesh. This could suggest that it time we had something similar to Musk's Dept of Govt Efficiency - without the Musk crackpot?
  24. Bear in mind that most vehicle collisions result in front end damage and even minor collisions will destroy that sensor. Hence there is a thriving market for these (on Ebay ) going for circa £78 to those repair shops or private repairers who want to find a cheap replacement. Blame the manufacturers for sky-high parts pricing and the perps in our society who want to thieve rather than work for a living.
