    elliemoo I have astigmatism and have had my eyes lasered successfully. My best advice would be do your research. What part of the country do you live ? I had mine done in Liverpool but the guy who did mine now works in their Manchester clinic and he is excellent. HTH :)
    I think I must have had my eyes lasered by the same surgeon as you about 6 years ago. The day after I had perfect vision in both eyes, and still have. I could see better the next day than I had been able to with contact lenses or glasses.

    :grouphug:

    Does it leak immediately, or only after it has been raining for a while?

    Think after it has been raining a while.
    Think it may also depend on the wind direction.

    When it is dry, have a look outside and make sure your drainage holes are not blocked. They will be right down close to the ground under the flared out skirt bit. What could be happening is your hollow conservatory frame is filling up with water (because it's not draining away) and eventually its cup runneth over...

    We used to have that at my parents house. Driving rain from the south would always come in above the patio door. Think it was bridging of the cavity wall, not entirely sure why, possible mortar on the wall ties or some other method of getting water across the gap.

    Is the leak on the glass or the brick?

    Some kinds are actual holes. The others are a small gap between two laths of plastic.

    Evening everyone. Bit spooked after watching Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows part 1:eek:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I have no idea which Harry Potter was the last one I saw, probably the second.

    I've been watching Donal MacIntyre and the anti-semitic gangs around Paris. Looks lovely, quite shocking. The police seem to be operating an entirely racist stop and search policy.
