Cleaning windows?
I live on the 4th floor of a block of flats. The management company won't pay to get the windows cleaned. The windows are velux ones with some kind of safety catch on them so that you can't open them more than 10cm. I don't think there's any way to release the safety catch without damaging it permanently. Anyone have any…

hot water in the cold water?????
SOMETIMES when I put the cold water tap on in the bath, hot water comes out for a wee while then goes cold. Is this a bad thing? It's gas heating we have if that makes any difference.
