How did your kids do in their exams? Have they got the grades they wanted?
Seems like it has been a bit of a shambles this year to be honest. I do feel sorry for the kids.
Hopefully now the government is letting the teachers give the grades it won't be as bad now.
I heard BTECs are still not...

We have a couple of threads running on the other forums. Trying to get people to give us a bit of an update weekly on how things are going for them in their trade. Thought I'd do the same for this forum too.

Morning Everyone!
It is Easter this weekend and a lot of the kids are already off!
Have you got any plans for the long weekend?
Are you going away, if so where? Are you doing some DIY, if so what is your project?
We are not going anywhere but having a nice lunch on Sunday!
Happy Easter...

Started a simple website and forum. No ads on it. Had to get approval from Nominet (the UK Governing Body for Domain Names) to even register the domain and launch the website. They don't want misinformation knocking around on their domain names.

I thought I would call back in after a long forum holiday , a lot of new names but quite a lot of the usual suspects are still here, I hope you have all been well in these crazy times .
Hi,
I have quite a few plumbers in the family and wondering what to get them as gifts (men ages 35-45), bit random but do plumbers like copper jewellery/copper bracelets or is that bit of a stereotype.
Hi everyone, Quick question
Hows everyone getting on with not being at work ?
I've had a few pals inform me that they are still working in domestic properties but staying 2m apart from customers and having as may external doors and windows open as possible.
Wondering what everyones thoughts...
Worcester Boiler. Really annoying.
All works as it should fine in normal use. However have to go away for a couple of weeks at a time. I put the boiler in holiday mode 5 degrees it's very unlikely it's needed to kick in. When I come back the boiler pump motor is often running even though it was...
Why does my shower keep running hot and cold
Just tried commenting on a new thread and my response needs approval. Why is this? I've been here years.
Hi All,
I want to start offering finance options to customers and wondered which providers is best. I looked into Kanda but wasn't impressed. Which ones would you recommend. TIA
Hi,
Not sure whats happened here.
The forum is basically unusable due to Google Ads.
I open any page here and Ads cover content, there is Ad inserts everywhere. I report them as covering content but makes little differance.
Close the Ads and large page content shifts occur whilst trying to...

Do I need a connection to join a euro basin waste to a 40ml bottle trap? If so what size?
Neve seen it before but this happened to mine over Xmas, a 6 year old £1000 Siemens front loading washing machine that disintegrated and I couldn't get parts for. Before that my old Hotpoint lasted 17years. Tell the old lady to stop doing the washing at 30 degrees and give it an empty hot water...
Thermostat controlled shower is only just about warm at max setting , taps are running hot , tank feed system not combi. Can anyone help. It’s Aqua Lisa.
I have a transit custom which I use for work (plumbing and heating) but also for taking my bike to track days. Does anyone have any idea how I can keep my van neat and organised? It always seams to be messy. I don't really want any racking because it will make it difficult to get the bike in...
UPDATE: Plumbers apparently not meant to be going to customers homes unless emergency callout?!
This was after further questioning to the prime minister. I'm trying to find the actual video or article for you.
Hi, I have an unvented water heater which for some reason every year causes me issues.
At the end of 2023 I noticed that the pressure valve gauge was going up when the water tank was switched on. My local plumber came and re-pressured the expansion vessel as it was flat, afterwards we tested...
Hello Everyone. I'm back! It's been a year since my original post and I still haven't managed to resolve the mysterious water usage in my home. It's driving me nuts as I just can't figure out what's going on and Thames Water aren't interested. I've attached some screenshots from over the...
Giving money to charity is something I don't do, I do plenty of free work for a couple of local non profits. (I also don't post about politics)
But, I gave a contribution to the Ukrainian defence forces fund here (after taking advice from my son who says its kosher)...
