    Possibly the most expensive household bill.....

    I pay the same as Mr Eeevans.  :( I forgot about the extras that are on top of the council tax; garden waste @£75 / year and the parking permit which has just gone up £60 because I drive an evil diesel @£165/ year. Have to agree about not feeling like I'm getting a good deal with them and I...

    Possibly the most expensive household bill.....

    Food Council Tax Utilities BT Fourth place for me. Yes, it's a lot of money but haven't had a problem with my BB ever and sit on the edge of space at 80mbp/s.

    This months PE Rag.......

    Perhaps they are trying to distance themselves from real electricians and focus on "installers" .  Would be a shame if some twonk is going round C1'ing splitcon though.

    HMV... General non-scientific straw poll as another retailer struggles..

    Tesco have buying power, they can buy whatever they desire so probably bought millions of albums in the run up to Christmas and now are trying to get shot. HMV are probably tied to a label or distributor that sets the prices. Amazon don't give a monkey's, selling CD's isn't profitable. But...

    HMV... General non-scientific straw poll as another retailer struggles..

    More ranting.... There are quite a few of these shops that deserve a grizzly end, with MD's jumping from the highest of ivory towers into a job in politics or  to be the manager of a Tesco express. Useless councils again, with a lack of wisdom and foresight destroy the very foundations of...

    HMV... General non-scientific straw poll as another retailer struggles..

    Not surprised in the least, tbh I thought they were gone for good anyhow. Brutal fact is that this business model doesn't work anymore. You can't expect some one to think of a CD they might like, then jump in the car & drive a couple of miles into town, find somewhere to park & then...

    In Car Power Inverter Problems.

    Inverter sounds like cheap Chinese bolocks to me, sorry to be pessimistic, had cheap inverters on works vans that just die randomly before. Best to invest in a pure sine wave inverter from a reputable source.

    The new scam?

    I live close to the North circ, I understand the environmental impact as my son's who both have been affected by what they call seasonal asthma and a lot of other kids in their school are also affected. The thing is the areas around the North circ used to be industrialised but all this was sold...

    Screwdriver bit research

    The Robinsons seem to be common with ducters & dryliners when using self drilling screws. They rarely cam out and are good at driving screws high speed into sheet steel metal and sometimes the thicker stuff. they aren't that common sadly as I think they are quite good. Found a 6mm flat...
