Hello. We've got a Baxi Main Combi, fully covered by D&G for yearly service check and replacement if clapped. We have a very small flat (all on one level): kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room. The...

We'd like to buy a reclining 2 seater sofa, and we're looking for one with a central armrest - a bit like you get in the back seat of a car, with a pull-down armrest - anyone know who sells such...

I can find several different types of corner fixing plate, but not quite the one I want. Here is a picture with a bit of my freehand on it to show what I'm after:...

Hallo. I've drilled some nice neat holes in the bathroom, but screwed up all the measurements and ended up with 4 holes, all far too big for any rawlplug or screw I've got. Is there a solution on the...

What did Panasonic replace their DMR EX75 series with? Or if there's a less complicated machine, any recommendations? I don't use it for TV recordings (I have a Virgin TiVo box for that). I only use...

I've got a Kindle, which helps - I can't see too well, so blow the type up and read it in landscape mode. But I wondered whether there was anything larger on the market - what I'm thinking of is a...

I have Elgato, and over the past couple of years have had average success using it, but my version (at least) seems very sensitive. I check and recheck my cables (I use phonos from the Elgato unit to...

I want a lightweight yellow anorak-type jacket for cycling - a large one, about XXXL - but Google as I might, I can't find anything. All that I get are high-vis workman's jackets, which are fine, but...

Is there any website listing specifications of Mini and Micro HiFi systems? Specifically, I want one with Audio In, and Headphone Socket - many don't have the former, and some (hard to believe) don't...

I heard somewhere that originally in the Second War, British ships stopping German vessels would allow the crew to abandon ship into lifeboats, and then sink the enemy vessel, and that German ships...

Most of the time I use Google to find things I want to buy, so I DON'T want all the US answers! All I want is UK. Fair enough, I can change it by going to Search Tools, The Web, then Pages from the UK...

Garden is muddy, I have trouble changing shoes (one plastic leg), so I was looking at this: http://www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-Pushovers-Overshoe-Pullovers-contractors/dp/B004CGFBLG on Amazon USA. They...

I mean, what do you have to look for. Loads are 3.6volt, some are 7.2volt. Does this make a big difference? What is a high-spec cordless screwdriver? And how much should you expect to have to pay for...

Don't English teachers teach it anymore? 'Haitch' is creeping into TV and radio (think Dominic Littlewood and his perpetual bleating about the "Haitch M R C"). There is no such word as Haitch. The...

I think that the modern television cockney speech, where every final T is overpronounced, is just that, television speech. On TV, an actor will say "ShuT iT, geezer." In reality, in London we'd say...

We've got a wooden decking, with wooden stairs leading down to the garden. Very pretty, but when they get wet etc., lethal. So I'm looking for an economical way to cover each tread, about 2 x 1 feet,...

Bit of lateral thinking here, maybe barmy, but I'm sure you'll tell me. My Panasonic HDD/DVD machine (DMR EX75) works well, but has a dodgy disc drive. I quite often want to burn a programme off the...

Time for a new front door. This one's been on since 1935, and is showing its age. We were thinking of top-end uPvc etc., but a lot of forums talk about doors (particularly composite) warping and not...

I want a digital (and FM) radio which can also record, preferably onto its own internal hard drive. Currently I use a DVD/Freeview unit to do this, but this has to be connected to a small television...

Taking a large old mirror to bits. The backing board was held on by what look like long thin staples - about 14mm in length, and about 4mm wide. I can see why you'd use a staple gun rather than a...
