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.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
