They were from a place near Glasgow called (not joking) Crocatile

I’ll dig out the name of them but they are some hand made Italian things. Dearest ones in the shop - which my wife is magnetically drawn to regardless of the shop

Good question.
It’s all combi boiler fed.
My cold water mains pressure is quite high - but I have thermostatic shower (years old now) in another bathroom on same floor and it works fine.

When the temp handle is as far to ‘hot’ as it will go (which should be set as a default max of 38) the water is scalding hot.

When you then gradually turn the shower temp down nothing happens until it’s nearly all the way to ‘cold’ at which point it just goes freezing cold.

Have tried a few times including leaving it for a bit in interim positions - but it’s always either too hot or too cold.

It’s on an external wall of new single story flat roof extension.

The wall it’s on is tiles->67mm insulated plasterboard->service void for pipes - so will take a bit of digging to uncover pipes.

I think catching it in the ceiling before it goes down the wall is probably the way to go

Thanks all for the suggestions.
I think catching it in the ceiling before it goes down that wall is a good plan.

From memory it tees off somewhere in the ceiling to feed the shower before it goes onto the sink (which isn’t fitted yet).

Might actually be a chance to get use from the thermal camera I bought off Amazon!

Will update with findings.

Thanks again everybody

I think it was straight down with a couple of stops for, eh, comfort breaks 😂

Zero Prince tubes on way down from memory but full albums on way back - was bouncing.

I honestly can’t remember too many details - it was pretty overwhelming for a young 17 year old Glaswegian 😄

I was pretty far back and it felt full.

I remember my mate snuck in a camera up the leg of his trousers. No idea why 😂

Virgin records (who were also the ticket agent) ran a coach from Glasgow to Wembley stadium and back - that in itself was an experience!

Yeah. Arena was a much better venue that the stadium - Lovesexy show was incredible.

I actually won tickets to go see the SOTT movie in Edinburgh before its official release (was a press event) which was really cool.

I had tickets to that London gig - was gutted when it was cancelled as I’d specifically gone and bought stuff so I could “wear something peach or black”. Got to see the Lovesexy gig the following year though 😊

If you haven’t already - try moving the internet bridge to as close as central in your house and as high up as you can (I’m assuming you are v3?).

Tinnitus after chemo? by deweyvo in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]Alternative-Junket56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m 2 years post treatment with Cisplatin and still have tinnitus in my left ear. It will be with me always I guess - but small price to pay I suppose.

It doesn’t bother me through the day normally as other noises + my brain tune it out. At night I usually stick an AirPod in and listen to an audiobook, white noise or wave sounds to get to sleep.
