  1. In all my time self employed, I only ever issued hand written invoices, never sent any statements, and never used expensive accounting packages. I accepted cheques, cash and bank transfers. on 2 occasions when I did not get paid, I used the small claims court to good effect. I've never paid up front for work, and if my contractor is not VAT regd, then I've bought materials myself rather than pay him to get them. You have to do an awful lot of work if you have little 'cost of sales' (materials etc) to breach the vat threshold.
  2. Grow old quicker and get your bus pass, then it's free😃
  3. No, If the flow is matched to the load, then that is efficient. However, with an uncontrolled heat source, that need not matter.
  4. Whilst you may have 28mm connections on the back boiler, your pump needs to be matched to the available heat capacity and the radiator output, so a smaller pump will be more than adequate. What rating is your back boiler?
  5. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A that I did not use for some months, and when I tried to recommission it, I had exactly the same problem, to the point that I ordered another tablet. Within an hour, I got some life back in the Galaxy and fortunately was able to cancel the replacement. One tip I would give is that when you have finished your session, hold the off button until you get the power off message. They seem to consume a fair bit of power doing nothing if the display just goes off.

  7. It probably will, as while sitting at home "working", you don't really get to know what's really happening in the outside world.
  8. Even if the filler is 1 1/2", if you are filling with a 1/2" hose, the breather is more than adequate. When the taps on the Thames, before the ridiculous modifications, used 1" hose with a decent pressure, the 15mm breather plus the area round the filler did not cause a problem. What connection do you have between the filler and the tank?

  10. If you consult your boat records on the CaRT website, it will tell you the details. I.I.R.C. examiners no loger issue a paper cert, just on line by email.
