Even if it's a solid brick wall... a lot of these old houses have pretty crumbly brickword, covered in layers of equally crumbly plaster which have been built up over the years. If your house is anything like mine, you'll need large screws (80 or 100mm) with matching wall plugs. That should ensure that you're screwing deep into the brick.

Yeah... I've been there. Ended up smashing out a large chunk of crumbling brick and plaster and filling in with cement. Then re-drilling when set. That held it!

    • Thanks, Pugwash. Probably James Barber? If that's the case, would he/they not have also set up some system for maintaining the information on the boards? Maybe they didn't care when they were (sadly) voted out, but I would have thought they would have made sure something was still in place?

    • Hi. I’d like a recommendation for a driving instructor please? Manual car. Ideally patient and not costing the earth.    thanks in advance 
    • I wonder if anyone can help.  My age 16 child has been forced to leave school due to prolonged ill health, onset after Covid.  It’s incredibly isolating and I was wondering if they are any local clubs (art perhaps) for her age group, or just meet ups in the area- perhaps other children out of school/ home educated who would be keen to meet.  Anything very active is out of the question- so sports wouldn’t be possible.  I’d be very interested in speaking to other parents in my position about how they manage.
