some people simply are more sensitive to insult than others, and there's no reason why their feelings should be less important than yours.


This is the big problem, of course these people's feelings are just as important as everyone else's, but at the same time, it saddens me that people have to feel censored.


I think BBW has been a bit out of line once or twice, but I just get so scared of living in a world where people can't speak freely for fear of offending. A bit extreme perhaps, but it's not a huge leap from one to the other.


What is the old saying, something like "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it". (sure that's badly quoted), such an important thing!

Censorship / freedom of speech have always been political hot potatoes - it's not a road I want to see the forum going down.


A lot of it is common sense though isn't it (otherwise known as self-censorship)? One golden rule for me is to not hide behind the anonyminity of the keyboard i.e. don?t post something that I wouldn?t be prepared to say to someone?s face.


Some of the things I?ve seen here on recent weeks (albeit the last few weeks have been mad) have just been rude. They don?t need censoring ? just some basic good manners.

Yes GG but you are dealing with builders and other such individuals, If you ever had the misfortune to sit in a site hut at tea break you would know where I am coming from. My father was a site agent for 20 years and I used to work with him during the school holidays. The conclusion that I made from that experience was ****AVOID**** that vocation like the plague.

What giggirl said.


And....I was very irritated by some of your posts BBW because you were clearly having go and being rude and obnoxious on a personal level and you wouldn't have dreamed of speaking to someone like that face to face and it really annoyed me. As for your craving for attention I find it very sad.

I'm all for a bit of banter and a sense of humour but what you might find funny other people clearly dont. Behave, be nice and we can all get along.


Big Bad Wolf? I don't think so. More like the The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Don't worry Giggirl. I'm getting back in my box now and Jah is going to nail it shut.

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      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.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By yaymukund · Posted

      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!
