Well.....
Loose tile fixed with sealant , magic sealant
Joiner (I use the term loosely) said old door wasn't thick enough so off he went for a new one
Joiner back with new door, 35mm just same as the one he said wasn't thick enough
Anyway, door fitted and he went.
Inspector called to check door etc and said it wont do..... It creaks like flippin eck and theres a 6mm gap at hinge side and it's flush at lock side, also he cut too much off top of door exposing the cardboard interior

I remember watching my Granda fitting a noo door in their kitchen, he used an old penny as a gap gauge for sides and top ...
 
...when walking to get the paper this morning I stopped at a "designated crossing point".
A motorist on the lane nearest me stopped at the crossing to let me cross.
As I stepped into opposite lane a prick in prius charged into the road from the junction and nearly hit me, if I had not jumped back I would have been run over. His window was down and he waved and called out "sorry mate".
I called back "sorrier when you've run me over you fecker". I was a bit cross. :mad:

A "Designated Crossing point" is either a Zebra crossing or wherever you see a dropped kerb with those little square pavers with the round braille-bumps on them (for blind people to feel with their feet). The highway code was altered to re-establish the priorities at all junctions. Right of way is:
1. Pedestrians.
2. Cyclists.
3. Motor vehicles.
So as I was at a "designated crossing point" the first driver stopped to let me cross, the second one did not.
 
As we enter a new era with our American cousins. We can expect food supply and technology in increasing yield. Will we also witness the beasts have the upper hand.

So which sort was it then?
I know all the rest, just wondered if the concerned derrick managed to not see the black and white stripes, or the dropped kerb and bumps you felt.

We have a ton of these sorts of fings near where we live, in the UK. Plus unused cycle lanes and all the other palaver.
We have to use "defensive driving " and "defensive walking" techniques at all times.
Happens a lot in Frogland too now. Peeps strolling along with their eyes glued to their phones, stepping off kerbs wherever they feel like it. Sooooo many 30 kph limits.

The video brilliantly shows how you have to be flipping telepathic driving nowadays.
