The only thing that will deter them is the fear of being caught. That's not gonna happen, is it?

I doubt they would "fear" being caught by the police 
strait out on bail ,court date months away while the police /CPS decide not to do anything ,drop the case

Some scrotes have done mum's place over again, and nicked her safe.  Sod all of value in there, but it's gonna be at least £2k for a new front door, and then the emotional costs.

I suspect the old bill will muster up enough enthusiasm to give her a crime number.


The police really need to get a better handle on this shit.  Sat with thumbs up arses only encourages it to happen more.

Have you considered fitting a couple of alarm bell boxes with flashing LED front and rear on all the time
(not an alarm system if too complicated for her)
video door bell ,TAPO one is subscription free  (micro SD card) and very good

My second wife was Lorraine. I used to constantly sing 'I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone'. She wasn't amused, miserable cow.

Ex's for a reason

Yes, it makes sense. I've had to educate my family with regards to my advancing years and learn to say no. They get used to it, eventually.

Ive started down that road myself. It aint easy, but has to be done. Cant be the family brick forever and ever. 

indeed ,i'm too accommodating and take too much on and need to say no 
saving friends and family time and money is costing me time and money 

I've made a start though 

I think a lot of kids assume that Mum and Dad are a permanent fixture and always there, then all of a sudden, they aren't. SWMBO had a minor stroke just over a week ago and that made them sit up. Luckily she got away quite lightly but has weakness on her left side which seems to be slowly improving. Early days though.

Hope things improve and it's a speedy recovery 
it's only a month till Christmas  Who's going to cook the turkey 
 

Welcome back Dave, hope things go well for you.

Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serios.

thanks 
Just life's 'ups n downs'
I seem to be too busy putting fires out all the time, rather than getting ahead and preventing them, though many are unavoidable/beyond my control anyway
if that makes sense

Part 2 has more adjustment options for your ball 

Going to ask the dumb DIYer question now....

What does Part 1 and Part 2 refer to? Are they some portion of building reg's?

Part 2 is water regs WRAS to do with not siphoning back into the mains water supply if water pressure fails or the tank over fills above the ball c**k 
also check valves on mixer taps and outside taps etc

part 1 is not worth fitting anymore IMHO

Well I did. 

in breach of WRAS 
The water police will arrest you and throw you in jail the canal

Also, a polyethene sock can be fitted to the outlet (to quieten the water when filling)
