    They use a special "make a cupboard look like a ballroom" lens.

    Bathroom's tiny.... so tiny you can't open the door without it hitting the loo seat ... and fat people can't close the door behind themselves as once you've stepped in you have to be slim to get the door back past you :)

    To be fair, they don't usually make that bad job of taking the photos. They know what looks good.
    As you say they can make a cupboard look huge! :eek:
    I've got a feeling that most people who are interested will come and look. The photos are only so much use.

    Sorry the trim broke Pastures... I wonder if they have changed the manufacturer this year. Not out to suggest duff merchandise to you. What with that and the unavailable hat, you'll never listen to me again.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Just ordered an indian .... not been to that one before. Somebody started an indian thread somewhere ..... and it's been on my mind and so I have to have one :)

    I hope it's good.... nothing worse than being disappointed and, so far, I've not found one that is good locally.

    Pickup is in 15-20 minutes and it's a 10 minute drive there.

    This is the problem - you've failed to attain the very high standard of recommended products that GDB's achieved :)

    It's not a biggie.... £4, two usable bags even with the bits breaking.

    This is it - people are just checking if it's painted lime green, got a black kitchen and is it the age/look of house they're most interested in.

    I would suggest it might be quicker and easier to just phone him?
    I know phoning is a bit of an anathema, but at least you'd get hold of him.

    OMG - you mean like .... actually speaking to a person?
    Blimey, you don't know me well do you :)

    It's a bit late now... probably the time to have done that was about 6.15. And I'm off to pick up a curry now.

    Yeah! You and your suggestions, Viva! Humph! :D;):D;)

    Now come on, you've got to make it a hat trick! (No pun intended!:D)
    What's your third duff tip, then? :rotfl: :D;)

    Square wheels for the car?
    Bladeless scissors?
    A self-winding looroll holder for people with paw-crazy cats?........


    .......:think: :think: Now, there's an idea I could take to the Dragons' Den! :rotfl:

    Well, that's why I said phoning is a bit of an anathema. :p;)
    See, I do know you! :p

    PN, if you post a photo of your boiler setup "elsewhere" then some NP might be able to advise you???
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    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.     :)

    I'll live. Chap whose door I'd have banged on just to top up water is out too, spotted that when I went for the curry.

    The thing is .... I know what to do ... but have a fear of turning it/doing it too hard in the wrong direction and it all just going Pete Tong.
