  1. Underground water leaks are not always obvious, it depends on the ground conditions as to whether the leaking water comes up or goes down  and or around, unseen.

     

    I used to do do commercial building mainteneance and got involved on several sites where it turns out there had been fairly major leaks for years and in one case costing the site owner around £20000 extra per year. That's how much the bill dropped after the leak was found. All commercial water supplies are metered, the exception being sometimes when a domestic property gets converted to commercial.

     

    Local area Meters can show average use in that area which can be compared to other similar areas, like on my estate and highlight possible leaks.

     

    Individual meters can be used to deduct usage of those properties and in conjunction with local area meters pinpoint high usage / possible leaks.

     

    The meters fitted nowadays are in place of Severn Trent stop cocks in the street, so as a customer they have no obligation to notify you and you have no right of objection to it being fitted.

     

    Using it to charge you is a different matter and in the future is likely to be compulsory for all properties.

     

  2. Brew, did you not have a letter from Severn Trent.?

     

    I had a letter last year saying they were doing work at the ends of the roads on the estate I live on in connection with a trial for leak detection.
    They dug holes and I assume fitted a meter at the end of each road as there's a new chamber in the pavement.

     

    Then at the beginning of this year another letter saying they were fitting meters on some houses on the road, they've fitted meters to mine and 2 others, on a road of about 30 houses.

    The contractors said they're just given a few addresses in each area, they don't fit meters to every house.

     

    Here's part of the letter,

  3. They're Stalkers B -K
    They get notified when you post anything up on here.

    You can opt to prevent them following you.

     

    I've got followers on the Jigsaw website.

    Why anyone wants to see what jigsaws I've done (over 300 so far) is beyond me.

  4. Quote Phil Mayfield,,

    I couldn't get black pudding from our farm shop last Saturday. Someone had just been in and bought 20!!

     

    Maybe they had  prior knowledge of them being Outlawed soon and were stockpling??

     

    Oh Crap, can't say "Outlawed" as Outlaws were usually white Male and should now be represented by all Genders and all races.

     

  5. I'd not heard of them either CLIFF TON till I googled electric trams Nottingham.

     

    I found them wanting the track sections on the road to be finished in weeks not years like in Beeston laughable.

    Do they not realise all utilities have to be removed from under the track route, where they follow the route and those across the route relaid in ducting as they won't be accessible in the future and that has to be done one utility at a time.

     

    Just a list of the obvious ones, Gas, Water, Telephone both local and National Trunk network cables and others that can't be mentioned, Cable T.V, Electric (both local distribution and H.V distribution), Foul Sewers, Surface water drains.

     

     

  6. In the ((very) long) time it would take to get the Electric Tram route(s) finalised, finance sorted  and Legislation for it through Parliament, the City council would have plenty of time to open up the Thurland St tunnel for visitors /tours and recoupe the costs.

     

    Is it actually a City Council proposal or just the thetram unofficial group, who's thoughts on how fast the new network should be completed border somewhere between totally unrealistic and fantasy.

  7. NO.

    Still fake.

     

    2 clues;

    The NHS UK don't use the term Covid travel certificate

    NHS UK call it a PASS

    And the NHS would not give a deadline

     

    NHS Northern Ireland do use the term

     

    I've just sorted out all the tests / bookings / paperwork etc required to travel to Spain /from Spain for a couple of friends and Covid travel certificate  doesn't ever get mentioned.

     

    It may appear identical to the NHS site but it's all fake to con people into parting with money, well actually parting with Card details that can be used or sold on elsewhere.

    It will also ask for other personal info "to confirm your identity"

  8. Even if it is easy to fake a Lateral Flow, a positive outcome will have consequences for the rest of the household and will need an immediate follow up PCR test.

     

    If I was in a household where anyone tested positive with a Lateral flow, whether a child or not, I'd want to see another test done in front of me.

  9. Yes I've got 3 cards in total, but they aren't any use for proof of vaccination.

    You can get proof of vaccination either by phoning 119 or using the NHS app or online.

    Printed copies are only valid 30 days.

     

    A couple of friends have just had the paper version via 119 for travel to Spain.

    Only took 5 days and that was including Xmas.

  10. There was  previous planning approval for 10 flats, (Jan 2014)

    That may have expired or may have been preserved by some initial work being started before the expiry date.

    Also another for the same scheme in June 2017.

     

    Total Reclaims are doing the demolition, according to the planning application.

    Their methodology, as submitted in the  planning application for demolition, stipulates hand demolition initially due to the proximity of the neighbouring building, extract below,,

     

    Slight correction on earlier statement, now removed,
