    They are registered with the UKAS accreditation service. Seems like a lot of faff just to pretend to do asbestos tests for the last 16 years (Companies House data). It's not like a guy who asks for some plaster in a brown paper bag who then tastes it...

    'Normal working'? I work normal hours, they're just compressed. The annual leave purchase thing is the annual opportunity of a straight purchase of additional weeks off for a cash deduction from salary, T&C of employment aren't varied.

    SHS, you are travelling down a goldmine of surreal humour at the moment and I fear that the stump of candle on my miner's bonnet is guttering :o

    Replastered house is looking awesome (ok, so it looks like a !!!! tip, but the hall looks so much larger now!) Very excited to see it all finished.

    £21.37 spent on paint, I now have 12.5l of bare plaster paint, fingers x'ed that's enough :eek:
