[The Sheriff]

My fault, for being lazy in the first place. I had to remove the toilet pan to remove the wooden floor I had laid a couple of years back. Of course, the steel screws I used to fix the toilet had rusted solid and I very quickly rounded off the heads trying to remove them. Anyway, long story short, after about an hour of rocking the bog back and forth, forcing implements underneath whilst closing my eyes and waiting for the "CRACK!!!", I got them out and did the job.




Are you ready for this? I couldn't be arsed going for brass or anodised screws, so I've used steel ones again 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Sounds like you did a crap job.

You tight sod!............................

You have no idea the work that is involved when moving out of social housing, Lizzie. All the work I have done over the last thirteen years has to be undone. I have to turn it back into the shithole I moved into, or they will do it and charge me a fortune.
Light fittings removed and replace with pendants, carpets (only a year old) skipped, laminate flooring skipped etc, etc.
They can fick off if they expect me to remove all the tiling and worktops etc.

A woman I know spent £6000 on a beautiful new kitchen for her council house. Eighteen months later she moved and left it in situ.

Ah, now I see Steve!  Yes, I have seen that around these parts with council property. A friend of mine moved and they had done their home up to a lovely standard. But the council insisted that they had to take up all their carpets, change the lights back to the standard ones, take down all the lovely curtain tracks, curtains and blinds, etc, etc! The council made it clear that if they didn't, charges running into hundreds of pounds would be applied! I know this is not an isolated case and it is now standard council and housing association policy.  It is just bloody stupid!!

So my sympathies to you Steve!

I have paid my rent up till ten days after we move. So, I will be returning for a day with a large skip.

I suppose it depends on how enlightened the council is, Lizzie.

It's crazy to rip out a virtually brand new designer kitchen and then replace it with something made of chipboard.


Why are you moving out, Steve?........Stress...Stress....Stress.

Elf and safety. Most councils still believe the shite. Mine is a housing association, btw, but same difference.

Bass will corrode too s/s is the correct ones to use, I always use them when I fit bathrooms.

Yes. Stainless steel sounds good. The other ones sound a bit fishy to me.
