  1. hi pauline - your message inbox is the small envelope icon at the top right of the page
  2. you mean further down the road almost near the junction with bestwood road
  3. been asked by a friend if anyone knows the whereabouts of a former doorman who worked the doors at cafe royal - Steve Blanchard - looked a bit like Burt Reynolds
  4. Service Valve / Stop Valve and Hydrant on wall with Ordnance Survey marker next to them
  5. could be a stop valve or air valve - washout fire hydrant - there is sometimes a small marker post with some letters on it adjacent to a wall for example SV AV WO FH
  6. usual dig out for boundary boxes in the footpath - thats probably why it cant be done so close to the tree
  7. the internal stop might be underneath your kitchen cupboards behind the kick boards at the base of the sink unit or in the corner of your kitchen - if you have a cellar they are sometimes located down them too the external stop tap chamber would be bricked lined so i cant see how the tree would affect it - i carry a special spade issued by stw for digging out the soil in the external boundary boxes and if the tap has broken off ive got a tool for isolating the water too if i cant isolate the water - severn trent have sometimes fitted a new external stop tap at no cost
  8. @LizzieM - every property has a internal stop tap but there has to be enough clearance for a meter to be fitted immediately after the stop tap if theres no room on the pipework internally they will locate the external stop tap and check to see if you have your own independent one and not shared with your neighbours usually located in the footpath outside your property new boundary stop taps are plastic and have large round black plastic covers and a meter can be fitted onto them - old style stop taps are usually located under the cast iron square covers in deep narrow
  9. some cracking films on the channel

  11. things to consider regarding water meters if theres more bedrooms than the people living there , if theres only 2 of you living there and you know you dont use much water - it might pay you to go on a meter , you stay on metered for a year and then if its not for you it will revert back to unmetered severn trent will take into account your council tax band and use that too , you will be billed 12 months as opposed to 8 months the easiest option for them is to fit one in the boundary box if it only supplies your property
  12. Happy Birthday Margie
  13. Looking east down Zulu Road from Pearson Street. On the left, opposite the cornershop, is the shed used by Mr Hufton as his cobbler's shop Street plus Shed combined post
  14. not the same characteristics as Nissen Huts but would make a nice man cave
