Delighted that it will stay a pub. I have fond memories of it :)

JohnL, that's an excellent idea.

Pathetic. ETA: Oh, you deleted your post. Well, your deleted post was pathetic, but sadly I don't suppose many people saw it, given the time :(6 Oh, and btw, my political (sic) preferences are not those of James Barber, but I still think he is an excellent councillor.

I would have done if I thought it would have helped :))

Unfortunately I don't like (understatement) the design of the tap levers, with those weird bits stuck on the ends, however if push comes to shove I may have to see if a plumber could combine parts of the existing taps with parts of this one, so thanks :)

Thanks I will try, but everybody I have tried so far - including firms claiming to have discontinued bathroom items - would just have got them from the manufacturer - who don't have any. I'm sure plumbers would prefer to replace things. Sadly in this case it will probably take me years to find other taps I like. I've already spent much of today looking, and in my opinion most of the taps on sale are absolutely hideous and I couldn't bear to live with them :( Picky, I know :(

I have been on the phone to them this morning. They don't keep any stock. If somebody orders the taps from them they just get them from the manufacturers. Who don't have any. I found a few other websites appearing to have them, too. I got all excited until my hopes were dashed :(

I think we should be grateful we have a councillor who is so willing to listen and to act on local issues raised, whether or not you agree with his stance on all of them. Many councillors in this country take their money and do the absolute minimum.

Yet another thread? How many is that now??

My head hurts

A stupid stupid relative broke off a vital part of my bathroom taps over Christmas (the diverter lever for the bath/shower). It was accidental but considerable force must have been used :( The taps are discontinued and the manufacturer still has some parts but (sod's law strikes again) not this one. Does anybody have any idea where I might be able to get either the part or (more likely) the tap set? I've googled, obviously. Unfortunately it turns out that places which appeared to have it in stock just get it from the manufacturer when someone orders it, and aren't aware it's been discontinued. I am getting a plumber to look at it but don't hold out much hope. There's a tiny bit of thread left on the lever, so I've been able to reattach it in a rather unstable wobbly sort of way, but most of the rest of the thread appears to be left inside the spout plinth :( It took me ages to find taps I liked, and if I have to replace the whole lot I'll have to replace the basin taps as well. To say I'm furious is an understatement. They're Heritage Fairport Shaker 4 Hole Bath Shower Mixer TSC074 (just in case anyone has a spare set hanging around - I should be so lucky). Really hoping someone on here knows of a brilliant spares supplier or something!!!

Blimey, I gave up smoking years ago. 40 a day and 60 a day at weekends. Obv this was in the days when you could chain smoke in the office. I should be a millionaire by now. How come I'm not??

That's like comparing chalk and cheese! What basis are you comparing them on? Atmosphere? Price? Value for money? Choice? Friendliness of staff?

If you do it exponentially you will very soon be bankrupt :)) ETA: Unless I've forgotten what exponential means - quite likely :))

There seemed to be quite a few places open? We had no problem at all finding a place for lunch today, and Oddono's was open had we wanted ice cream. ETA: Ooops just seen this is referring to yesterday, but Franco Manca was open yesterday and we had yet another yummy pizza :)
