  3. Trumpy usually Tweets against the truth...
  4. Depends where you work I guess. A tucked-in shirt a defo no-no, so has to be a tailored hem otherwise you look like a scruffy git. No socks, even short ones look wrong. Length just above the knee, turn-ups look smarter. Tricky thing to get right is the shoes, need to be a cross between formal and casual, Camper do some nice hybrids, but not for everyone...https://www.camper.com/en_GB/men/shoes/chasis/camper-chasis-K100282-002

  11. I remembered the thread but didn't realise you were the OP until I found it. Thought it was last year, how time flies!...
  12. First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out? Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out? Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out? Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me?and there was no one left to speak for me. Never again Uncleglen. Never again...
  13. You're making a habit of this Doc... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1714179,1714531#msg-1714531 Where did you end up going to?
  14. I've just realised Sue that with that option there is an issue with your pull-out shower screen. I've never seen one of these, but presume that it slides into a cupboard/void/pocket behind the wall? Would you be able to repositon it ok? If not then you would have to replace it with another type of screen/curtain. Also, the large shower valve looks like it is currently centred on the bath, moving the bath would make it off-centre. I don't know about you but that would jar with me and I'd have to move the valve too...:)
  15. Access from the ceiling was my first thought, but it would be extremely difficult to take out the floorboards as they are nailed down from above into the floor joists. The bath will also be supported on some of the floorboards either directly or indirectly. Opening holes in ceilings usually creates a lot of mess in the room below too. Sue obviously wants to keep the existing look and arrangement, so perhaps the best solution is to pull the bath forward as far as possible towards the towel rail (which I think you will have to do anyway to carry out the repair), and then build a matching boxed-out shelf along the width of the bath, to provide easy access for any future problems. It's also a nice feature for scented candles etc during those romantic baths...:)
  16. If they have to remove the towel rail and screen, so be it, much better to do that than knock a hole in your external wall. If someone has designed this layout for you, I'd go back and ask them what they think should happen. It's been poorly thought out, after you go to all this trouble to get new taps fitted, you could later get an unrelated leak in the pipework and you're back to square one again. They should've fitted wall mounted taps and spout on that boxed-out wall with the removable shelf i.e. easy access for repairs!...:)

What tends to happen is that there will be 2 copper (or cheaper plastic) feed pipes coming up from the floor void, in the area below where the bath taps are. Modern bath taps usually come with flexible 'tails', these allow for a bit of flexibility/movement for connecting to the fixed feeds. They would only need a gap big enough for a hand and wrench to work in, so if you can pull the bath forward about 4-6 inches, that should be enough for a hand to reach down and do the necessary. This is how they would've been fitted originally. The idea of creating a hole in the external wall is just crazy, and whoever suggested it, avoid at all costs :)...
  18. How did the taps get fitted in the first place? :)...
