Why bother?Can I ask a question - should we be building more VMIC facilities in the UK for vaccine (and mAB etc. etc.) production:
Home - VMIC
Leading a new era in vaccine development, to protect and improve lives in the UK and beyond. Find out how we can help you.www.vmicuk.com
Perhaps one South Wales, one North East, one Glasgow, one Ireland (somewhere straddling the border)
Can I also ask to answer that from a pure engineering view, and not political etc. (Otherwise I'm on the wrong forum here)
Ignoring the politics, the Indian plants make perfectly good pharmaceutical products which we use all the time. Obviously it would save on transport if they were made locally, but I suppose it depends on what raw materials might then need to be brought in to make the end product. The end product is small and light to ship.
Obviously it might have made sense to build plants locally months ago to have enough product, but why local and not abroad is a political question.
Not much chance of matching up a replacement cistern for this pan the customer broke it trying to repair a leaking doughnut one turn to many on the bolts and he got very wet 🤣, carpet in a cloakroom not a good idea? I had a box of Malmo flooring left over from another project so put that down , then fitted a new toilet struggled to get anything decent from my supplier in stock so ended up fitting this Ideal Standard pan from B&Q 5 year warranty on it quality components in the cistern £116 which is a good price looks alot better in my opinion. A bathroom refurb to start Monday. Cheers Kop

Screwfix do similar or the same, Ideal Standard Della Close Coupled Toilet Dual-Flush 6Ltr - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/ideal-standard-della-close-coupled-toilet-dual-flush-6ltr/6779j it's a few more quid.
Fitted one recently, nice bit of kit, it's rimless too.
I hate the plastic bolts that come with the cheap tat cc wc's they don't have a back nut to tighten the bolts to the cistern!
Aye, I like to attach the bolts to the cistern first. I normally have a couple of spare sets on the van to replace the plastic ones.
I agree with the above. Makes things easier.
Shouldn’t they be connected via a flex ? Most of the ones I’ve done say in the mi connect via a flex
There was nothing in the instructions. It’s in a ceiling grid so can’t move but I will give the tech line a call on Monday to check 😇

tries to light then goes out so my bet would be electrodes as if condy shouldn’t be getting to spark as fan pressure should kick it off
but then again when was it last serviced (proper)
Hello Dan,
Been victim of 1st lockdown but afterwards it did start to pick it up. I do most aspects of domestic plumbing and heating work.
Sometimes, business gets slow down for a week or two but then getting back on track. I suppose everybody feels the same.
have a nice once

A bit late in the day as it's afternoon now.
Just to say that despite the 3rd lockdown I'm still able to ship my AGA Barrel lifting kits anywhere in the UK or worldwide.
The kit is wrapped in a waterproof sleeve and can easily be sanitised on arrival. All kits have been packaged for 4+ days, further reducing the slight posibility of contamination.
This kit takes the strain out of lifting the very heavy barrel out of AGAs for servicing the burner.

Oh yes, I've got a date for my Covid jab in 10 days time!
Great thread. Personally I'm very content with life. I'm only in my second year but business is good and growing. On a personal level I'm only working 4 days as I take a Wednesday off to look after my son. So working less but more productive and spending more time with my boy.
All jobs we wear a mask but still most customers don't. I'm based in Central Scotland, cases are relatively low in this area.
I hope everyone is taking care and making the most of the situation we find ourselves in.

5 oil boiler services (warmflow combi, mk 1 worcester heatslave, danesmoor, mk2 worcester heatslave and a warmflow combi) and a new low pressure sensor on a grant vortex combi.
Have to return to 2 of the customers on Friday. 1 new radiator and a new kitchen tap.
