Not convinced you can sand clear plastic and expect a new finish after. I put them on a par with those pellets you used to put in your fuel tank. I have heard from a reliable source that if you mix up a paste using baking powder/cream of tartare or the other one & water, it will polish up plastic headlights like new.

I think you'll find that the daily mail version is not actually how it is. Niece works in child protection, and as far as i can see the parents get alot of chances. Unless it's really bad. Even then they try to rebuild things. Alex66, GrumpiusMaximus and Tamworthbay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I have had to work members of the social services child protection teams for twenty plus years now, and have produced reports for them and acted as an appointed expert on multiple occasions so have a bit of insight into how they work. In that time I have come across a variety of characters, some better than others but only one who was a complete twat. The procedures are strictly controlled and they are under a lot of scrutiny. The Daily Fail shite is responsible for tarring a very hard working and under appreciated group of people. In the circumstances described I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to give them a call, it can even be done anonymously if you wish. chaseracer, Floatylight, GrumpiusMaximus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 We had a problem neighbour in our last house, screaming at the kids, etc. The kids themselves were always well behaved on the rare occasion you saw them. It got to a point where we had to call the services and express our concerns, the neighbour wouldn't talk to anyone. After a short while, the partner appeared and started sharing responsibility for the kids and things calmed down considerably and while I never got the whole story of the situation, for obvious reasons, it did seem that involving the services resulted in a happy neighbour, happier kids, and a better quality of life all round. Sometimes, people just need help, even if they're behaving like the sorts you'd like to see take a long trip down a short flight of stairs. Of course, sometimes people are just dicks, but the services are there to help with that too. Tamworthbay, myglaren, SiC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Her kids are nearly always out playing. She won't let them in the house through the day unless for toilet etc. Then it's get away from the fucking door etc. I feel they're kind of bringing themselves up.Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had good results with the ones where you use grades of wet and dry up to 2000 and then various magic chemicals in wet wipe packets. Unless you use a UV sealer they quickly go cloudy again. In low UV areas a quick wipe over with cutting compound every now and again seems to do the trick. Tadhg Tiogar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Put new front tyres on the Merc last week.It clearly likes having its wheels off (or the smell of my money) because I drove it today for the first time since picking it up from the tyre place and a vibration under braking announced that my front discs and pads have reached the end of their life.All consumables so I'm not too annoyed, and I knew both jobs were coming, but I had hoped to spread the cost a bit.

purplebargeken Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The kids are clearly at risk of emotional/psychological abuse from family members. This in itself is ample reason to contact children's services as it is very much a child safe guarding issue. Council/HA anti-social behaviour team, there should be an allocated housing officer for each patch or collection of patches. Phone and email as email trail is trackable. Police at a pinch if you are witnessing behaviour that is causing alarm and distress. GrumpiusMaximus, paulplom and Tamworthbay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Turned my 'phone off last night to stop the myriad social media dickheads messaging me with stupid questions. Put back on this morning, 11 new messages (some with the inevitable question around 3.00am and '????' when I didn't respond in a nano-second) and the usual half the fucking price ((or less) offered dickheads. Have made three people repeat back the first line of the advert to me then asked them whether they think it's still for sale or not, then fucked them off. Some I'm just ignoring, a handful might get answers. GrumpiusMaximus, Split_Pin and xtriple 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myglaren Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 One of daughter's former boyfriends, who seemed to be a very nice bloke, seems to have copied her door keys. He has been stalking her a bit lately and she found a parcel in the house when there was no-one around to accept it. All locks to change and the one on the back door is new anyway, door only fitted recently. Not a big job but ascertaining the right eurocylinder while she isn't there and my keys don't work as she has barricaded the other doors from inside. Hadn't realised there were so many variants of the eurocylinder. He'll be in jail when the cops pick him up, turns out he has been a bad lad in the past. paulplom, GrumpiusMaximus, loserone and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
