Are you talking only about the liner that will be in the chimney breast? Or also the rigid piece of flue connecting it to the top of the stove? Burning just wood?

Many thanks for the reply (and sorry it's so late!). Still not done as weather hasn't been kind, but hopefully soon... I think I likely will go for the cheaper bitumen option, but I'm reading conflicting things as to whether a primer is needed for bitumen paint. You say you think it is...

I don't understand what you mean...

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/may/05/readers-reply-which-conspiracy-theories-have-been-proved-true Various CIA involvements over the decades.... Weapons of mass destruction... In fact, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that the US (and therefore the UK too) are far...

I wonder what Copernicus would make of all this?

A look into Andrew Neil's background, views and affiliations can be instructive...

I think there was discussion of how to do that in the first page or two of this thread. Mostly went over my head tbh! But you might find some useful tips there?

Great post @Yorkieguy Hadn't heard of Elmer Wheeler so will look that up, thanks. Is that where the phrase Wheeler Dealer came from? :) Edward Bernays is another fascinating figure from around the same time, dubbed the father of PR. Most famous for his PR shenanigans in increasing tobacco...

I'll restate how much I detest some adverts... But I must add that basing a decision on whether to use a company on how annoying their advert is seems arse about face. Surely their human rights record, political bed sharing, sustainability, monopolising practices, tax avoidance, etc etc should...

I found the fiesta advert, I think! I don't watch enough TV to know how it compares to car adverts now, but suspect you're right that they'll not have car details like this has. Must say though, a bit woke back then to show a woman driver when the majority of drivers were men. So perhaps some...

The questions aren't digs btw, more food for thought and opening of the discussion...

Maybe if you both lend your marketing strategy input to them, Xero could be worth even more that the billions they're currently worth? Perhaps they're hiring? ;) As for the race sensitive folk above, what would you consider a good white to people of colour ratio to be? Should it reflect the...

@ey_tony - I’m curious as to when adverts were ever quality and would love to hear which ads you’re referring to and/or which era might be cited as the “golden age” of “quality” adverts. Similarly, @guineafowl21 which adverts used to be more successful at extolling the virtues of a product and...

Hi I was donated some "corrugated iron" sheets and have been using them for a couple of years in a makeshift shanty town style array to cover firewood. I want to build proper wood shelters before winter and plan to make use of these sheets. But I'd like to clean them up and protect them as...

Perhaps I've misunderstood some of the points being made here, but if you walk into any wood stove shop I think there'll likely be more steel stoves than iron. What sets Dowling apart is not that it is steel, but that it is bl00dy thick steel. Sorry if I've misunderstood. On that note...

Don't know if "revealed" is more acceptable than "exposed", but here's a less click bait titled and less YouTubey discussion of the matter in hand:

I've had a quick look. Thanks for that, learnt something today :) I'm not convinced that there aren't ways around having to declare, but at least it's something. I don't think it changes anything with regards why someone "in service to the country" - as he likes to remind us - is accepting so...

I'm not a fan of such click bait titles either. Can't really stand the whole YouTube culture. But sometimes you have to play the game. If you run a market stall but hate towns and cities, there'd be little sense in setting up on a mountainside. Mainstream media calls the shots. Alternative...

And Jonathan Pie along similar lines but with the added humour!

I'd have to have a look at arrest numbers, convictions, etc. for ER and the like. I'm not doubting you, I really don't know... But in terms of equivalence and comparison, a quote from Wikipedia: "The campaign, led by key WSPU figures such as Emmeline Pankhurst, targeted infrastructure...
