    PayPal or izettle or a different mobile card terminal

    I have a fixed terminal which costs around £240 a year to rent. I also have an izettle for emergency use if the broadband fails or for anyone who insists on paying by Amex. It works really well and if the charges were anywhere near the fixed terminal costs then I'd use it all the time.

    Dacia Duster

    Although I have an awd car, my next car will be 2 wheel drive and I'll fit snow tyres. The difference is stunning, I can go just about anywhere in the snow and ice with impunity. The downhill and braking performance on snow are brilliant, and 4x4 doesn't make any difference to that.

    Granite worktop cutting for beginners

    I did mine with a circular saw with a diamond blade. Only a straight cut mind. I also backed the saw in to avoid chipping and her indoors was cooling the blade with water. :shock:

    Wacky new form of measurement.

    I used to be a computer operator, the IBM laser printer we used was calibrated in mm for width and inches for length, so we'd print on 305mm x 12" stock. No idea why though. I've just ordered 35 6"x2" rough sawn joists, 4.8m long.

    Frames for School Art Projects using a Compound Mitre Saw

    Before power tools we just used a plugging chisel, so the above suggestion of holes plus plugging chisel should be perfect.

    Composite decking

    Thanks for the replies, especially rafezetter and tfrench, I think I'm sold on composite, I'm doing a 10m x 5m deck, and I can't be pineappled with maintenance, so I think traditional wood is out. We're staying for at least 10 years, so longevity is important as when we do come to sell the deck will...

    Electrics question for new boiler

    You cannot have two means of isolation. In a normal setup the feed from the consumer unit goes into a fused and or switched spur. The load side of the spur feeds a "central heating wiring centre" (basically a glorified connection block). From here wires go to and from the programmer, boiler...
