I have never poured scorn on anyone on this Forum.


There are always people cleverer than me as I lose track of new technology.


Being now unemployed / retired I like to share what knowledge I have .


I have just offered my advice.


This might not always of been a solution to a problem.


But maintainance is always a sequence of proceedures to narrow down options to a final solution to a problem.


Maintainance was always the bug bear of telecoms companys because it did not produce a profit.


Contruction engingeers installing new systems made money/profit.


people do not like paying for things that should already be working..


so many things can be fixed by individuals for free with just a little help.


It does not cost anything to fix most problems, only a persons time.


Sometimes this time is invaluable and justified and I am not saying that these people


do not deserve what they charge.


It is like anything. If you need a builder or a plumber, then you have to pay.



But building , plumbing , electrical installation requires quallifications and


computer maintenance does not. so anyone can learn.

You have to be aware and adhere to many regulaitions reguarding


Water Pressure.


Water Feeds and flow Non return valves..


Drainage


Soil pipes.


Earth Bonding. Requires electrical qualification.


There are as many regs for plumbing as there are for electrical work.


Each water Authority seems to have there own rules.

    • Just wanted to let you all know that Dulwich Antiques is serving free takeaway coffee (Old Spike), tea and hot chocolate all day every Sunday. We’re open today till 5pm.  Dulwich Antiques, 3 Upland Road. Hopefully see you there! Rachel & Conrad 
    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
