    Had a panic yesterday. Got in the shower and the water was hot but the pressure very weak. I couldn't work out what would cause a drop in pressure but would still let the boiler function.

    Turned out to be a burst water main in the area.

    I had the same thing the other day - turned out I had left the tap on in the sink next to the shower. In my defence it was very early...

    Puts my birthday trip to the Pisces fish and chip shop in Surbiton into perspective!

    Happy birthday!

    You'd better start planning ahead for something spectacular to do on your 60th!

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Off to doctor shortly for a long consult.

    At least they're doing the tests, and hopefully there will be some better detail from him next time ...
    Hi Folks.

    I've not been about this past week or so, due to my 60th Birthday celebrations :D

    I rented this place for the week.

    Blimey! What an unusual place and no wonder you need a break now :beer:

    Congrats on the insignificant ;) birthday :T

    If I rented that for a week I'd host ... 0 dinners, 0 lunches, 0 afternoon teas and 0 kiddies parties. I'd have 0 visitors, but I'd climb to the top of the tower :)

    Happy birthday!

    If you mentioned it on here, you'd have at last one visitor :) Who might even come armed with afternoon tea (and a bottle of something sparkling...)

    :)

    Speaking of afternoon tea, I spent a very nice afternoon with a friend having Afternoon Tea at a local posh hotel - I'd promised her it as a birthday treat back in summer so we thought we'd get round to it before Christmas! :D

    Yum yum.
