I agree with this 100% - what I can’t fathom is why government has such a short term view and a complete inability to see the usually obvious consequences. The list of blunders when some outcomes are obvious is startling .
We are being manipulated. Petrol price rises then the 5p off the tax was never fully passed on . Government will ( has to ! ) intervene at some point . But I guess they like it to be real bad so they come along as the hero’s and save us all in our moment of need .
Surprised they expect the sink to just go straight to the wall I.e no rubber packer or similar . As my tiles are not flat I might put exactly that in there .
I’ve just renewed my octopus go . Off peak up from 5p to 7.5p ; standing charge doubled . Still ; I think a lot worse is to come for people whose contract expires as we approach winter ….
Finally got round to this .
Had to sink ( pun not intended ) the bolts right into the wall leaving a fixing that’s too short . Thickness of sink is 30mm - barely that on thread left let alone washer then nut . Presumably I simply need a longer threaded bolt .
Wouldn’t surprise me at all . Or they suddenly take stock and remove Cantilevers , non curved glazing , reduce glazing ; tell architect to stop using clients money to full fill his own ambition.
