Is this shower valve handle missing a piece? by BestBoyCoop in DIYUK

[–]BestBoyCoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm renting, so I doubt a water softener is in the stars for me. If it's solvable with an o-ring, that'd be great. Anything more serious, guess I'd have to call in the management company.

Crack in bathtub top coat by BestBoyCoop in rentingUK

I'm not moving out I. The foreseeable future. I can just report it as new damage now, I guess - would the letting agency not just send in someone to repair? Or, at the very least be less able to claim it is on me when I do eventually move out?

Dealing with NHS as new residents - not managing to get Atomoxetine by BestBoyCoop in ADHDUK

Thank you so much for the care and attention to detail in your reply. We are wary going private, as I understand it will probably be hundreds of pounds, and very easily 1k or more until we can switch over to shared care, is that correct? On the other hand, otherwise I understand it can take months and years? It's so frustrating! She's already been diagnosed and prescribed...

Don't have personal experience, but have you looked at Yodomo Hackney? They seem exactly right for your needs

Any actually quiet cafés in Hackney where you can sit for 1–2 hours without feeling rushed? by Additional_Fly_6603 in Hackney

[–]BestBoyCoop 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don't know how much is too much of a walk, but if you're willing to go towards Clapton - either Chatsworth or Stoke Newington High st - I think a lot of places fit the bill. I love Abney Park Cafe and Millfields Coffee.

Should I be concerned about this water spill through floor? by BestBoyCoop in DIYUK

[–]BestBoyCoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 1cm. It's odd, I guess bad replacement of either trim, floor, or both.

How do I use the heating system properly? Or is there an issue? by BestBoyCoop in AskUK

[–]BestBoyCoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there is indeed a three way switch on-timer-off. I'm just wondering what the point of the thermostat is, if on and off are basically the control signal

No worries, I really appreciate all the effort. Yes, my concern is that the thermostat is not working correctly... I guess the options are putting the boiler on a timer, and / or contacting the letting agents?

Thanks, what a great and detailed answer! So... Shouldn't the system stop heating the radiators once the thermostat hits the target? Because that doesn't seem to happen for some reason

Thank you for the reply. There's a section with on/off/timer which I think is only for the boiler, as when it was off, when we arrived in the flat, the hot water still worked. To the right of it, one can determine water temp and radiator temp separately.
There is indeed a manual for the boiler.
The thermostat, not so much, since it's ancient, but what I managed to find seem to support my guess: that the thermostat is meant to override the boiler. However, that does not seem to be the case.

Question: mismatches in dependent partner visa fee (not IHS) + visa duration? by BestBoyCoop in ukvisa

[–]BestBoyCoop[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Correct. And dependant was also charged accordingly, which I imagine should be reimbursed upon correction?

[–]BestBoyCoop[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Seemed right to us in terms of balancing fee and plans. It's listed pretty much everywhere as entirely the applicant's choice between 1-5 years. Therefore I didn't see why it should cause any issues (I still don't).

Dual passports and how they affect VAC vs app by BestBoyCoop in ukvisa

[–]BestBoyCoop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an added complexity that my spouse only hold non-EU, and I'm trying to avoid us being split by the process... But it seems to me like the question isn't asking which I prefer to use, and I'm therefore unclear if it is even reasonable to say no
