It's all about minimising the amount of skill needed. If you just nail plasterboard up (not terribly securely in some cases) then the only bit that's skilled is applying the skim. Whereas getting multiple coats of stuff on a wall or ceiling requires a much greater number of skilled person hours.

Corona MK 2, that takes me back a few years. Back in 1976 a colleague had a sideline buying up Mk 2, 2 litre Coronas, 4 door models. He was shipping them out to Karachi (in his native land) where they were in high demand and commanded a premium price. Until the market collapsed when they had a change of government regime. I bought a Mk 2, 1.9 litre off him, a 1972 model which had belonged to a senior West Yorkshire policeman. At 5 years old it was a good motor. At 7 years I had to swap the cylinder head due to a burnt out valve. And gave it a full respray (done on father in law's driveway. At 8 years I scrapped it due to excessive body rot. No different to any other car of the period though, and I loved that car.

Any of you know anything about gas ovens - as in kitchen ovens? Was at my dottir's today, they have a double oven and heat escapes from the top of the door. There are small gaps between the top edge of the doors and the body of the oven. Rubber seals along the bottom, sides, and a couple of inches at each side of the top edge. Unlike my leccy ovens which have a seal all the way round the door where it meets the oven body. Just want to know if this is normal for a gas oven? doesn't appear to be anything missing.

Used to have one years ago but I don't remember mine doing that. Does she have a carbon monoxide detector

It does make me wonder what happens to the burnt gas from ovens and hobs. I've never had gas in kitchen appliances, always had leccy.

A pic of the back of our house being built back in 2007. If these are the sort of blocks you mean, yep they are being used all over Frogland still and yep a total pain in the rear if you have to drill into them to try and affix summat to them.
I think they are supposed to have good insualtion qualities, with so many hollow cavities.
