Could do with borrowing a tall ladder to clear a gutter

I have a 2-3' section of gutter on the corner of my Victorian semi (I'm in a flat) that's blocked. It seems crazy to pay ?200 to get someone out for 10 mins of work I can do myself...


If anyone near Tritton Road has a ladder I can borrow I can leave a deposit/show you my driving license or whatever makes you comfortable in return for a bottle of wine!

I don't know if this would work for you. If you can drop a long string with a weight down from your window you could then tie the string to the end of a hose and pull the hose up. Then get someone on the ground to turn on the hose and you can clear the gutter without a ladder. This is what we have done several times in the past but obviously you need access to a hose and water tap at ground level.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
