Flat-packed only.
"di"
Indeed, but not the stuff sold in England, which is vinegar by comparison with the real thing.
I wish... :-)

Oops. :) Sorry, the problem with speaking more than one Latin language is that you muddle words! :) I realised in Sitges the other week that I was freely and joyously mixing Catalan, Spanish and French. Not that they care, bless them.
Absolutely.

No, no thank you, I don't think I fancy drinking something that's been "passed" by another! ;O)

You don't drink tap water in London then?
Peter
Strange to tell, no!
Bemused of Bucks. ;O)

Only when turned into Young's or Fuller's.
I think most people in London don't drink London tap water either. It tastes truly 'orrible and looks worse.
When I first got my daughter a fish tank when we were in London I couldn't understand why I couldn't get the nitrate level down below about 70ppm. Then I tested the tap water and found it to be about 50ppm so using it for partial water changes wasn't much help.
Fortunately I had access to distilled at work. I used fill a couple of
5l mineral water containers up and use those. We had lots of containers to spare as we kept one in the fridge for drinking water.Up here the water is soft, slighly acid and pretty well no nitrates, it also tastes a lot better so we save money on the mineral water. IIRC we used to buy Highland Spring, their bottling plant is just the other side of Perth.

Hmm, the beardie in me seems to remember at least one of those fine emporia of the amber nectar has their own borehole.
Peter Mine's an Old Peculier thanks.

Nah, we'd never waste valuable breath on that in Yorkshire. It'd be "do it thissen". Actually, if my Yorkshire landlord is anything to go by, it's "not do it at all".
The solution to this is to replace the old boiler with a newer model.
Hi Andrew,
If new DIY groups are created, can the hypens please be dropped. uk.rec.diy.* would show up much better when people search for `DIY' in a newsgroup name.
Cheers,
Agreed, I only found this by chance, after searching for the logical DIY came up blank
Oh, gawd, people aren't STILL prattling on about splitting the group in uk.net.news.config without having the good grace to post here and let us know what they're proposing, are they?
The last time this came up here, about two months ago, the VAST majority of regular contributors were completely against the splitting of the group.
The only people who seemed to advocate splitting the group were rarely to be seen posting in these parts.
So, what's the current state of this discussion?
Am I going to wake up one morning and find that uk.d-i-y is no longer, and noone had the good grace to let us know?

There was a thread on this a couple of months ago, and most people felt., certainly the regulars, that things should be left alone.

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl
Nope. Just someone who's never been seen in unnc before (ttbomk) happening upon the thread from September, afaics.

Yes, but they have found this place so it makes no odds to them. For ease of use for newcomers I think it should be sorted out.
