I'm not saying that at all. OK, I agree that citing Bulger was perhaps over-extreme and alarmist. But I get the feeling that being protective of a child in such a scenario is seen by some as a bit odd and pathetic! Your initial, rather sarcastic, comment being a case in point.

I went in there with my small children and one of them weed all over the floor. The staff were very helpful and not unfriendly in fact they acted like it wasnt a problem. And they cleared it up.

I think I might try this as a litmus test for friendliness around ED. How do staff react to child weeing on floor.

MightyRoar, what a good test! And we don't have to limit it to our wonderful Lordship Lane; no! We can take our weeing toddlers to Heals, Fenwicks and Harvey Nicks too and see how graciously they cope.


Eventually we could compile a guide, like the Michellin! This is a great idea - any publishers out there?!

    • 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!
