IIRC there are one or two plumbers that post on here very occasionally,

There will be 3 along as soon as they've finished their tea :wink:

Have you tried switching it off and then back on again.

Have you tried switching it off and then back on again.

We had a message from our IT staff to tell us that despite all the years of advising us to do this, we were now being advised not to - but to 'restart'. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it does it.

Oh you’ve signed up to the ‘Restart Package’ at £14.99 a month have you ?

I'm given to understand that [MENTION=26444]Wrong Direction[/MENTION] can do a passable Edelweiss at a push. [MENTION=25123]SIMMO SAYS[/MENTION] should be able to confirm :thumbsup:

I can confirm [MENTION=26444]Wrong Direction[/MENTION] is starting a large bath/shower room refurbishment including tiling next week.
I do know the words to Edelweiss tho unlike him :moo:

Still waiting for the shower enclosure that was ordered a month ago, on the basis it would be ready for collection in a few days….I’m hoping WD will do a better job than the previous guy :whistle:

I had last week off for the misses and my birthdays, haven't been to plumbase this week to chase up, haven't had a call from them so guessing it's still held up somewhere, will go tomorrow and see what's happening

Talk to Steve at Worthing Plumbing & Heating. Always been spot on for us, turns up when expected and does a very good job. Put our boiler in 3 years ago and has done other bits like sorting taps and a shower refit. If you do contact him, tell him the bloke from Hill Barn Lane sent you :D
