Bought a couple from Wickes as they were fairly cheap. bought the 12"x 14" with the wall getting the 12". I have an 80cm worktop piece onthem.How strong are these brackets and any idea as to how much weight theycould hold. I was going to get some of those wardrobe type supportswith a 3x2 piece at the back but went for the easy cheap optionunfortunately as it was going in my shed and not the house.

A google image search for London Brackets got me this: they are anything like the ones in the article they should becomeiconic furniture pieces long after their designed sell by date. Yourneighbours will come from all over just to sit on them.I'd reinforce your shed walls if I were you.

By the age of the post you're replying to, shouldn't that be Londinium?

The wall should get the longer side, every time!

It would have helped if you had given that advice 14 years ago when the question was asked.

Yes there does seem to be some problem with the sighted on that web portal. I can clearly hear the date of the original message, so why can't a sighted person? Its not an isolated incident so I'm suspicious that the date is in an illogical place or not very well defined. Of course if their stupid software A allowed quotes and B expired or locked old threads, none of this would happen. Brian
