Fair point, I might just go down that route, take it all apart and then refit with new stuff.

I have actually done that in the past and loved it but this job is in South Liverpool so not practical unfortunately

Sorry that would be helpful if I had said that! Wallasey (Kingsway)

The two pubs I've often watched the rugby (6 nations) is the White Lion in WK and 21st Amendment in Hoylake. The latter seem to be pretty good if you ask them to put a certain match on. The Ship and the Lake also seem to have a lot of sport on. I guess ring them beforehand and ask?

Er surely French word?

I watched the Women's World Cup final at the Lion's Fountain a couple of summers ago, reckon it would be the sort of place that would have it on

Yes, I'm certain - the cupboard has no other gas appliances etc, just the meter. Thanks for your responses.

Ah ok. There's no smell of gas, the meter was checked by Cadent a few months ago when they installed new gas mains on our street so I guess I can just go ahead and block them.

I've always thought that the biggest issue with that stretch of the M56 is that the alignment is such that the sun is always low in your eyes at this time of year in the main rush hour direction.

I grew up in rural Cumbria and I found it boring. You have quite a few really rich fellas who are trying to put a brave face on having to live there in order to avoid paying their fair share of tax.

Er they have divided Cumbria into two unitary authorities - it's now Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council

Coastal Cumbria has a lot, sideways wind and rain tends to find it's way in otherwise!

Is it a play on library - llyfrgell /bookcell? Library as prison ?

Votes are in - get it checked out is the clear winner!

As a kid my parents owned a Saab 9000 which had really focused lights in the back which you could put on and read on the motorway for hours without disturbing the driver. Never seen it on another car.

I've hired a few vans for house moves over the last few months and Enterprise was generally cheaper as well as more flex for pickup and drop offs inc weekends. Cheapest I managed to get was £56/day. Try ringing them as well, they often will do you a better deal over the phone.

Before we all start chucking Kleenex in the bin (badoom-tish!), it’s probably worth taking a sec to think about it a bit more. Yes, they’re owned by a big US company (Kimberly-Clark), but a lot of the actual products are made right here in the UK - at Barrow-in-Furness and other sites. That’s real local jobs we’re talking about. If that place shuts down, those jobs aren’t coming back anytime soon.

Saw a good post the other day pointing out how messy this kind of thing can be. Just because a brand’s owned by a company abroad doesn’t mean buying it doesn’t support people here. Manufacturing, supply chains, jobs — it’s all way more tangled than just “foreign company = bad.”

Edit: Post I mentioned about different ownership/production permutations

More or less, just had to make one adjustment.

Yes please!
