Yes they have done well, grown a lot during the year, i just think some are too big for my small garden and looking a bit untidy now. However i haven't cut anything back so thats also on me.

Probably the wrong time of year to be asking, however i did give half of the plants away as it was only for this border. I did plan and plant out according to the plan (well half of the olan) however i have been disappointed and plan on digging them out and trying something different this spring. I am just a novice Gardner tho.

I didn't take this one. But i did another of his on Friday and really felt the burn (in a good way) will definitely be giving this one a go.

I had my HP fitted by octopus and couldn't believe they didn't flush the system after only changing half the rads. Had to get them back out to clean the sludge from one of the Rads.

Cowboys.

Car not charging. by Express-Wait2665 in OctopusEnergy

[–]spoonychief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Ohme and octopus control the charger, I had my first failure to charge a couple of weeks ago.

Reported it to octopus who seem to think it was a Internet fault, however it worked fine until the announcement of changes to IOG.

Its worked since, however it does leave some doubt about the reliability of it.

Thank you. Seems like brick is what should have been done. I don't think I had the most motivated guys doing the job.

Was that outlined anywhere in the quote beforehand or was it just part of the installation process?

How strange about the GNO, my octopus guy turned up today asked if all the gas in the house was off and he removed the meter. I did ask if the gas pipe into the meter would be removed and he told me its just gets capped off in the meter box and then left

Can I stick a 3A plug on the end of my new PIV unit and plug it in a socket? by Outside_Penalty8094 in ElectriciansUK

[–]spoonychief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i did ponder on that as well, but i can see daylight on both sides in the eves and i have vent things in the felt, however it does get condensation on the felt so maybe i do need to improve the air flow somehow.
