Used to be ok when i was a regular many moons ago.
Will be populated by jobsworth pious keyboard wa*"#rs, especially the electical & plumbing boards where they bitch about interpretations of their regs. They'll turn a thread about replacing a tap washer into WW3
(don't know of any other forums like this do we ).

Just ask here, it's likely someone here will have the answer.

Thanks all, Unfortunately a lot of forums are full of people who want to cause an argument or tell you the equipment you have is no good and you need to have XYZ at ££££ mainly just to show off or pretend they have it. So I was looking for people who had experience them for themselves.

Always happy to offer advice if it falls under my remit. 40 years of f/ups within the building industry gives a reasonable insight😂

I've had a foot in both camps, I'd like to think predominantly the latter after 40 years
The best lessons can be learnt from the biggest f/ups

When i was in the internet marketing malarkey, many moons ago, one of my clients was a builder down in the South East. Part of my job was writing articles and press releases, so anything news worthy was of interest to me. This client rang me up and told me he's being featured on an episode of Cowboy Builders "Excellent! Are you the cowboy or the builder rectifying the mistakes?" I asked.
