    Those safety plugs are dangerous and I would recommend anyone that has them removes them

    sANDYbAY On benefits-won't sponsor!

    We had a big argument with an OFSTED inspector about our decision NOT to have the plug protectors in the empty sockets in our house.
    We won the argument but she took a lot of convincing.

Then set about repairing all the ruddy holes and building the hat section inline with the floor pan , allso wax oiled inside the frame head ect were possible should only take hour or 2 tomoz a it will be done I traced it from the other side !! The started seam sealing all the welding and ready for coat of stone chip tomoz !! Now need some more card so on the carling
