    I don't think you'll see this sasguru ever again.

      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                DynoRod. I know you are a contractor but even Pimlico Plumbers would have been cheaper.

                  £170 for two hours! That's almost twice NorthernLads day rate!

                    Does this Freeview need an aerial on the roof? I forgot to mention the tiler after the aerial fitter has fallen through the roof

                      You would need a roofer not a tiler.
