  1. Thanks I did. They've said that without seeing it, that after taking account of their call out rate and the cost of replacement parts which could be anything that it's probably going to be cheaper to buy a new one
  2. Although the automatic ignition on my gas oven packed up a while ago, the gas still worked and I was able to use the oven. Now for some reason, the gas has stopped working although the 4 burners and eye level grill still work fine. What is causing this and, assuming it's repairable, what's the likely cost for it to be repaired? :help:
  3. thanks - think i've found what I'm looking for and should know for certain by Monday whether it's available.
  4. I'm looking for educational resources on the Great Sheffield Flood - particularly a mock up of the area - does anything exist anywhere? Thanks
  5. I need to buy a camcorder for video interviews - 90 minutes minimum duration as well as recording workshops or other activities. Harrisons now only sells a Sony which retails for about £200. I've also just been advised that Nikon's camcorders are superior to the Cannon in terms of lens sharpness etc. As I know nothing about camcorders I'd like some advice on the best to go for and how it compares with the Canon http://www.johnlewis.com/canon-legria-hf-r46-hd-1080p-camcorder-3-28mp-32x-optical-zoom-8gb-wi-fi-3-touch-screen/p435728?colour=Black. Would I be better advised to go for this Sony camcorder https://outlet.sony.co.uk/shop/Camcorders/High-Definition-Memory-Stick/HDRCX280EB.CEH.A Willing to pay up to £200-£300 + a further £50-100 for spare batteries, memory cards, camera case, tripod and memory card cases from 7dayshop.com Many thanks
  6. Under this new regime of DBS checking is the hirer required to obtain DBS check with evidence of certification from a freelance consultant who has been recruited to work with vulnerable people? ie, do we need to see the actual certificate? What is the correct procedure to follow? We've checked on the relevant websites and it's a massive puzzle. Thanks ---------- Post added 08-10-2013 at 13:43 ---------- Now sorted
  7. Thanks for all replies. Will be contacting ACAS for specific information to the situation in question.
  8. Thanks for your reply. It's a startup in the process of setting up all that sort of stuff. Any pointers so that I can help them develop a good practice model.
  9. What is best practice when managing a complaint made by an external party about an organisation's employees. Are these employees entitled to know the basis of this complaint? What rights does the subject of the complaint have to know the content of any emails or other documents in relation to their conduct?
  10. HHeeley City Farm run this sort of service. They have an admin charge which is fairly reasonable. There are loads of these organisations all round the country. http://www.heeleyfarm.org.uk/page/id/6e5df1d120923d0fe497e2590b17a729/Heeley_City_Farm_DBS_(Formerly_CRB)_Service/
  11. Ta ERROR = "country" to read "world" and replace the rest with "would grind to a complete halt within days without engineers."
  12. Noted but unsuitable for organised school activities.
  13. Thanks - that's really helpful. Are there any other sources? I also need to produce a more complicated list of technical engineering terms and then find ways to explain them in the context of KS2 and KS3. Is that possible?
  14. I want to find a list of engineering terms which link to the National Curriculum Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. Any suggestions of where I can find this sort of detailed information? Many thanks in anticipation.
  15. UoS does a DSLR camera course - should be easy to enrol on it because of the change in regs. Also think there's something doing at Hillsborough or Sheffield College. For the position on fees, it's best if you dont have any qualifications because that will mean you'll have to pay the full wack and that's quite steep these days.
  16. go to harrison's cameras on london road for advice. quite a specialised area.
  17. Thanks for all your help. I'm now sorted out and glad for the advice re inspectors.
  18. Thanks for the link - I have seen it and cant get my head round it. I'm looking for the most cost-effective way to travel from Prestwich to Half Edge Lane (M60) and arrive by 8.45am M, Th, Friday and from Prestwich to City Centre on Tuesday & Wednesday. Advice from experienced Manchester travellers much appreciated. TIA
  19. Got to go to Manchester next week and am having difficulty getting my head round how their fares system works. It looks like I'll have to use bus and trams so would like to know the most cost-effective way to travel around.
  20. any thoughts as to where I could find this sort of information much appreciated. TIA
  21. I need to fit double glazing only snag is the windows which I want to open are about 8ft from the floor. Any ideas about type of window openings I can use without having to use a ladder to open the windows? Much appreciated.
