Defo not smoggy, more country Durham. We have a couple of subs in Trimdon who sound much the same as that.

Enforcer is fine, being 2 way its a different league in terms of quality and reliabilty from 1 way. Swerve visonic.

OP means the variable levels of radiated heat energy as well you know. OP - iWise are fine, despite being Risko.

Lots of this on youtube. Personally I prefer watching kids falling off scateboards and crushing their knackers on a handrail. If Matt was to actually sit on a fence it would probably have to conform to some sort of standard.

Do they send the photo out with all NIPS now or do you still have to ask (genuine question, not been caught for 10 or so years [touches wood]) ?

It amazes me the number of people who dont park in gear.

Whats your young-un hoping to do Norm?

assuming he wrote the contract for that too!

I like the fact that whoever saw this thought the best thing to do is take a picture.

Am I the only one thinking Id love to have a go on the water slide?

Could come in handy here sometimes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27902634 I wonder if the BBC would have published the article if the show was not in London?

lol.

Not a puffball fan, but I would like to see them get out of the group.

Gross, you drink from the carton?

This is on the public side of the forum, let me know if you want it moved to trade.

I dont know the machine as there are lots of rebranded ones about, but you're probably right about it being 8 ish years old. It has one hard drive of 250mb so small by todays standards and the noise will amost certainly be the fan. If it works and you're happy with it then fine but a new DVR with current CMS would be an improvement.

Go with the upgrade, also bear in mind that for the quoted price they will almost certainly have to go round every detector to fit resistors (for compatibility) which will add time to the job. So its not as simple as a straight swap.

Im the same, I blame my old man as he instilled his values in me. On holidays as a kid he would be on the phone to the office everyday, and was one of the first people to have a mobile phone outside of the M25 which was a car batt with a motorola handset on top. Matt I think you need a deputy, someone keen who can take the strain a bit. Either that or (not being rude here) but live with the fact that you are someone elses deputy. Learn to delegate. There's no sense at all being as plugged in as you are. Edited to add, Kin QFA.

I hope you've changed the code!

nice one Phil

Id say you're in without a doubt. Re the standards, dont forget you pay that annually for access. There's nothing wrong with them being done by 2pm IMHO if they've seen everything they need to see to make an decision, in fact Id take that as a plus. Next time they visit make sure you have loads of questions for them/him - pick their brains and remember that you pay their wages, and take him to any sites you're working on and need pointers. Ive found that customers are impressed when their site is chosen for inspection, and I always follow up our visits with a thank you letter letting them know their system passed, just as a courtesy.

I like Kensington, so that's where I usually stay. Plus its on the circle line so Kingscross, Kensington, Tower etc all easy to do for a novice like me. And I absolutely dont do buses.

Stay in a posh hotel in Kensington.

DLR goes straight to it, got its own station. I found it alright and Im a public transport novice. Presumably only a problem if you have to go right across London.
