    The EU imposes tariffs on the USA and India. If we adopt US or Indian regulations we will have to pay tariffs. Thank you for agreeing that the US imposes citizenship on people, against their will, so that it can tax them.

    Still an amateur - door fitting advice please.

    It looks like you have the door lining in place and you will be installing a piece of timber to the sides and top to hide the gap between the door lining and the wall. I was not thinking of adjusting what you have already installed but the (masking timber or) architrave. Say cut 6mm off the top...
