Where ?? & who's Mr n Mrs Lez
...that I have been up to the MIL's to meet the gardener who is razing everything to the ground for £240.
He has quoted the gardening co 6 hours, but says it may take less. But its a fixed price so I don't care.
As long as we don't have to do it anymore this year that's fine. He will give us a call when he is done so we can go see the result.
I just hope the old bat doesn't make a nuisance of herself. She's an incorrigible old flirt.
I hope hes not beating about her bush.
Looking good there Kev

Ordinarily it would seem like a good idea but the Sky+HD box does not cater for any form of dish pointing, or LNB Diseqc switching for that matter, or extra channels outside the Sky channel line-up in a very user friendly way. Having said that it is the functionality of the Sky box which keeps us with Sky, recording two channels at the same time as watching another plus all the catch up services integrated in the planner so they can be recorded to the HDD like a normal recording, to watch at any time. It's hard to beat really and using a receiver without that is like going back to a hand cart in comparison.
Also all three services we are watching, Sky, Kabelio and NOS have their own access cards which can't all be inserted in the same receiver at the same time, so really a dedicated receiver box and dish for each one seems logical, or at least an LNB each if a couple of them can be got on the same dish.

I was slightly surprised that the original oven had a plug/socket and I used the same plug on the replacement oven. The plug said 'max 3680w' on in and the oven is rated 2700w so that seems OK. The socket is on a dedicated breaker.At one changeover of tenants in a house we used to let out, the new tenants discovered that the previous ones had discarded the gas cooker we left them and installed an electric one. ( The previous ones moved out and the new ones moved in on the same day, we were nowhere near, might even have been on holiday!). They immediately installed a proper single feed for the cooker.
One thing, the previous peeps put it where the fridge used to be and just made up a 3 pin plug to plug it in with.
Other thing, when we got to it we discovered that for some reason, and this happened long before we took over the property, the fridge plug was not on a plug ring main, but on a lighting ring main!
Yet it still worked!!!
The messing about with cookers by tenants you mention is a bit hair-raising though, in theory there is not a lot wrong with a fridge plugged into a socket on a lighting circuit so long as it has an earth, although unorthodox, because a fridge is usually drawing about 200-300w and the lighting circuit would have a 5A fuse or 10A breaker. If they had plugged a cooker into that though I'm amazed it worked! A cooker circuit should be 32A.

Edgar's gorra drink problem. Historically eye drilled a hole in the side of his pot to try to control this. When he moved to his biggerer pot he never said there were no holes int bottom. Yesdi when watering him eye noticed his saucer was still dry. Eye gave him some more then realised so drill some oles int base.
It scared me witless when I saw what had happened, and when I had to take the second tenants to court (for missing payments and damage to the place) he was there waving the old melted plug around as if it was somehow my fault.
The judge(s) saw straight through him (he'd split up with his partner by then and managed to think I was to blame for that too!) and granted all the monies I was owed, but we never got a penny off them, as usual.
Tenants
some are fab but some are poop.
Rain predicted and extant here too, lots of expected over the next few days possibly weeks.
Yuk!
