I called James yesterday after finding this thread as I was need of an urgent plumber after the person I had previously booked failed to show.

James came around a few hours later to help fix the problems - fixed everything needed in very short time, new waste fitted to a sink, isolation valves on pipes leading to taps, leaking waste on a different sink, leaking valve on a new radiator, plus organised his colleague to connect a new gas hob.

Wholeheartedly recommend - was pretty much the most efficient plumber I've ever come across. Plus a very nice guy. He'll be my first call next time I need someone.

Edited out as it was a silly question?

Interesting report above.

Seems the "poor signange" has been replicated by other councils. Money spinner.

Well said TR

Playgrounds need to be open, young children. And parents standing around chatting, provided they socially distance, are doing nothing wrong unless it was a pre-arranged meeting.

You'll have a fantastic time - I did similar about 10 years ago. In an RV perhaps you won't have too many issues, but watch for police, specifically along the pacific highway, as it was easy to speed. San Luis Obispo was a fun college town, and the country roads/mountain roads up to Lake Isabella were brilliant.

There is a large pet shop on the way into East Grinstead (A22) (Pets at Home) that had mice and other rodents for sale when i was in there a few months ago.

JohnL, are MOT's required currently or are they postponed again?

Pretty sure they were totally renovated 5 or so years ago. Last i saw they were great.

Thanks for reporting!

TW very kindly offering to send someone to check my place on 26th Oct.

If you are experiencing issues, and have the time, please call TW so they realise it's a local problem affecting many.

I'm on hold to TW...

Ok, good info, thank you. Could very well be.

Water pressure very very low again in the last 1/2 hour or so...same area, Underhill close to Horniman end...anyone else experiencing the same?

In all honesty, if I were the landlord I'd be happy he's gone and not worry about the extra day and the cleaning.

Hello, also very sorry to hear.

Could you say if the shed was in the front yard or the back yard?

Some ovens use a standard 13amp socket, some are hardwired into (I think 30amp) a higher capacity circuit. It will say on the spec of the oven. If it comes with a cord and a plug it will use a 13 amp socket. Happy to be corrected but that's my memory of when I replaced mine. It won't need any specific clearance above betwen the hob, they are all insulated.

Wish they'd put some kind of barrier on Underhill Road...

Just cut a hole in it for a straw...

Completely agree, I'll avoid buying at any places charging prices as such.

It's taken most of the last 3 months to register for click and collect / home delivery, as Sainsburys was prioritising vulnerable. Fair enough.

Then, on my first click and collect order, 50% of the items turned out unavailable after I placed the order (placed about 3pm for a 7am collection the following morning), 2 items were missing, and one item expired the following day. I must admit I'm fairly unimpressed.

I may be wrong, but I thought post was still the legal method for communication in matters such as this, not email, so it may be that you have not been officially advised of the bill. Someone with proper legal knowledge will no doubt know!

I quite enjoyed it. He does seem the eternal optimist, and happy, which make up for some shortcomings in my eyes.
