Greetings book clubbers,


Thanks to every one who came last nights meeting, lively and interesting. Nice to see old & new faces.


Our next book is The third Man by Graham Green:

Our next meeting is on the 22nd March in The Clockhouse at 8.00pm.


There is a spare copy in Rye books.


Look forward to seeing you.

Greetings book group.


Our next meeting is still in the Clockhouse on the 22nd March. Only problem is the Blake room and the snug are both booked. They have offered us two tables at the back of the restaurant area which will seat 8 maybe 10 at a push. The alternative is bringing the meeting forward to the 15th, but several of you cant make that date. So I propose we meet on the 22nd as agreed and enjoy the thrill of different surroundings.

I think we could have a book group meeting at a bus stop and it would still be fun.


The Third Man is very short, do you have an idea of another short book we can also do before the next meeting?


We can discuss a trip to Banh Banh in Peckham for some time in April.

It?s cheep & cheerful and very good food.


Till then


Chick

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
