    This is clearly Climate Change (man made of course). The Road Tax increases next year should sort this out.

    Likewise I've been very impressed with the builders that did our loft conversion (and I don't usually praise builders having been on the receiving end of some awful experiences). They came highly recommended and will have another recommendation to follow them to their next job!

    The builders don't come 'till Monday, I've had to wait 2.5 months for them to get round to my job due to their other commitments. That being said I approached multiple other builders who gave me stupidly high quotes or simply never bothered to quote at all.
