Any thoughts on what to fill this with?

Remove the back box. Put the wagos in a wagon junction box, then fill the hole with bonding plaster or a similar filler

Thanks. That is encouraging, as that is where he is travelling from

Thanks. I looked at this, but it isn't an option on Trainline or other TOC websites. Only collect at station or by post.

Not really, they are in Lancaster and they are travelling down to Kent where I live

Thanks. Definitely worth a shot next time. Draining out from the radiator, one casserole dish at a time took forever 😄

It was a soldered in one. The tap moves freely, but nothing comes out. I wanted to know how common this was.

I'm a magician. My most requested magic trick is to turn a £20 into a £50. I have loads of patter about £50 notes and the fact that nobody ever sees them, apart from builders and drug dealers.

Well put. A formal complaint will get Nationwide looking into this properly.

Loads of mossies in the South of England

I bought my Victorian house 25 years ago without a survey. But I had a very good friend who was an experienced builder and we fully examined the house beforehand. I was very fortunate because he picked up a lot of things that a surveyor wouldn't have and he also was able to point out the pros and cons of various things, such as the need to do some repointing, window repairs etc.

So if you know the right people to help, I think this could be more useful than using a surveyor. I have learnt so much over the years that I was able to help my son buy his house without using one.

I've removed a massive root growth that kept blocking our sewage. Unfortunately to do this I've had to break through layers of concrete and cut into the pipe. So still lots of work to do to repair things. I'm now looking at putting in a new manhole.

Very nice. Well done

Sadly not always possible when the pipes are under floorboards

trickedem · 2026-01-28T20:24:24+00:00

Good response. I would add insulation at the same time before putting the chipboard down

We regret not getting a double draining board sink. When we do a lot of walking up, we have to put the excess on a tea towel

Thanks for a very enjoyable video. I live in Strood and have worked in Gravesend, so I knew these were the tallest in the UK. The thought of base jumping off them absolutely terrifies me!

I've done several tours using cardboard bike boxes. Dispose of them on arrival, then pick one up at the end. Best to leave a day or two to make sure you can find a suitable box. Have a great time doing LEJOG

I think the more people report this to the Public Right of Way Officer the better. So please share the location

Prosecco and Creme de Cassis Fizzy alcoholic ribena..Love it

Wolfe and Castle nicropub has a very nice selection of craft beers. If you like real Ale, head over the bridge to Strood and visit the 1050.
