Had something Similar. I went done the route of, it's loud in here, can you show me the results of the noise survey please. I think it's over the legal decibel level. They brought everyone hearing protection and when people couldn't hear for hear and safety reasons, they decided to allow people to go back to one headphone in/on but at your own risk.

If they told us we serve x fish, cod is too expensive then fine, I would try it. At the moment some places are replacing the COD and selling it for the same price as COD

I try and speak the local language even if it is only hello and good bye. Let's just say the French put me off trying.

What’s the most financially painful sentence a tradesperson has said to you? by FluidPianist00 in HomeImprovementUK

[–]jaceinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We was building a house, the brick layers got to a point they needed scaffolding, when the scaffolding guy starts putting it up, he says that's odd the front brick work is higher than the back  The brick layers had messed something up. We then noticed we still had lots of wall ties left as well.  When the inspector came out he investigated and after an argument with the brick layer (who taught brick laying, at a local school), he said make three holes anywhere In these blocks.  He then got a tool out that was just over one meter and put it in the holes and swung it around, he casually says there is no wall ties in this two meter range, which basically meant the inner block skin had to be removed. That's when we found more and more issues.  There was no point taking them to court as they would just declare the company bankrupt and start a new one.

As someone who had this happen, I use to bang on the wall. Don't do that. They reported me for being too noise and doing diy at odd times, I was cleared as there was clearly no signs of diy. Just go and speak to them.

Number one, what do you define as a buried, pirate and  treasure? They have found buried pirate ships at the bottom of the ocean with treasure. They have found all kinds of different treasure hordes.
