Not all bad.
HI All, Our kitchen lights have failed so we got an electrician out. He arrived & sorted the problem out within 2 minutes (faulty transformer connection).

No chat!!
I've been glancing on the site for any chats, and up to, there's been hardly any chat whatsoever since the new system has been up and running.

Removing a radiator - advice please
