Ruffers, know what you mean. Weaseling is unethical, disrespectful and doesn't actually work any more as people got wise to it thanks to Tony B Liar's world of spin. Politicians should stop listening to any head of comms who tries to tell them the truth is a technicality.

The doors were always meant to be open as they were designed as a replacement for the old Routemasters which had conductors. No conductors = closed doors = no movement of air, given that the new ones have sealed windows and only feeble air-con.

At least because there are two stairwells, people do not congregate around the middle door (back door on conventional buses) which is my bete noire.

Please be reassured I'm not one of those people. I was merely mentioning that I'd be away and so wouldn't be able to attend one of their pointless and dull meetings.


And yes, the 'sleeps' thing enrages me too. Must cool down...

Why is it obscene? According to what I've read its origins go back to Scottish English in the 1500's.

    • 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!
