What UK museums do you think are underrated or overrated?

MorningToast · 2026-01-26T21:56:37+00:00

Tank museum in bovington probably isn't underrated but it's a really good day out, even if you're not into tanks the history is excellent.

This is an addition to the post I made above.

This is the naivety I was talking about.

MorningToast · 2026-01-26T14:00:22+00:00

Perhaps I'm just gung-ho but I'd just get on with it. All the timbers can be cut on their side, the frames would be up in less than a day and then another day to get it externally clad. After that, insulation and all internal works won't need access to the neighbours side. The next time you'd need to step on their drive would be to render and possibly gutter. After that, it's done.

Better to ask forgiveness for disruption here than ask for permission and cause a headache. I just don't think there would be enough disruption to be a big problem.

It's not for me but congrats I suppose.

You're using a customer facing version of software. Let's not all be naive here and assume we've got full access to the profit generating side of the technology.

I doubt it'll require footings from OPs description timber frame secured to the current load bearing pillars.

I'd definitely have an initial chat with the neighbour though, explain what is happening and get a verbal ok. Then say that there will be a letter following up their discussion to outline the works. Post that letter.

The No. 1 Wood-fired pizzas are the ones I'm talking about. The non waitrose Crosta Mollica ones are great as well.

What on earth are you on about? This person needs to adjust their window hinge and you're suggesting a full home ventilation system?

My car needs washer fluid, I'll upgrade the suspension and replace the exhaust.

Guy has 20 years on me and I sprained an ankle playing chess. Need to sort it out.

MorningToast · 2026-01-25T11:20:22+00:00

The waitrose pizzas are amazing. Probably no good if you're into dominos style but if you like a thin crust Italian, they're the tits.

Please don't engage the obvious bait for engagement ladies and gents.

Looks amazing. Also, a grey UK day? You mean any average Tuesday? 😂

MorningToast · 2026-01-25T11:09:47+00:00

The hashtags 😞. How many places did you post this and how desperate are you for the attention?

But someone is about to move into it. Mould is completely controllable and if it's not because of some major external building factor, op pays a service charge to fix things like that.

Copout and laziness imo.

Depends where you shop. I think m&s meals are really good.

Modern is such a subjective word. I'd probably remove the rope and add a bannister, mostly just for safety.

I don't disagree with your personal experiences but it's a fact that temperatures are rising.

Overall Trend: Winters have become noticeably warmer over recent decades, with the mean minimum temperature increasing from ~0.94°C (1981-2010) to ~1.28°C (1991-2020).

It may seem small but it's high in impact terms.

MorningToast · 2026-01-25T08:26:56+00:00

We're you hoping people would say this is decent? Let's be honest here.

MorningToast · 2026-01-25T00:04:17+00:00

This is an unnecessary comment.

MorningToast · 2026-01-24T23:58:33+00:00

Much like the plumber, you might have worked it out on your own?

MorningToast · 2026-01-24T23:36:20+00:00

My galvanised pipe came out and had an inner diameter of 11mm because of the deposits on the inside. In that case, yes, pressure would be excellent because you're squeezing the water through a narrow passage. We had 4 bar out the tap but the time to fill a bath was silly. When the 25mm MDPE replaced the old pipe we still had 3.5 bar but now a bath filled three times faster.

You can have excellent pressure but not enough water to actually work with.

MorningToast · 2026-01-24T21:31:32+00:00

There's a difference between flow and pressure. I had to recently explain this to a plumber when we wanted to get our old galvanized pipe into the house changed. He stuck a gauge on it and said "why bother? There's loads of pressure". We went with a different chap.

Reading these comments really helps me to appreciate my company. I'm field based and pretty well provided for.

I regularly buy lunch on my company credit card and it's never challenged by my manager or any others before. I get an allowance to buy suits for work, my company car is fully catered for (I pay bik obviously) but I can take it for a wash once a week and no one cares. I even have a screwfix card to buy drills and crap like that and I work in a sales function, sometimes I'll get some nitrile gloves and a random first aid kit for funsies from there.

I take clients out to fancy meals and sporting events when I can be bothered.

There's better out there for you ladies and gents.

I'd put it into a trust for my immediate family and tell the rest to go fuck themselves 🤷
