In day of old

When knights were bold

And women weren't invented.

They drilled holes

In telegraph poles

And stood there quite contented

Omg! Derek and Clive?, or something like that. I still have the LP complete with puke  bag somewhere

Not a bargain, not even bought from them, just wanted to bookmark the site as they have an excellent range of adhesives.

 

Maybe it can be made a sticky?

Appliances Direct have a quantity (10) of refurbished Liebherr large (390l, 1.8m high) fridges reduced from ~£1075 to ~£750.

 

These are in A2 condition, which means possible scratches and scuffs - so think carefully.

 

But fantastic brand, and well worth a look.

 

Estimated energy usage is 75kWh per annum, so could also save you a chunk of electricity bill.

 

They are stainless steel finish, so you also gain an excuse to buy baby oil.

General tip for getting grab handles from disabled suppliers who have raised their design game.

 

I've been buying grab handles to make stairs and bathroom for comfortable for an elderly tenant.

 

I looked into this in a lot of detail when I did a downstairs bathroom for my mum several years ago, when I found the best route to things that worked but did not look institutional was careful selection from Screwfix. 

 

A key decision is stainless steel or plastic or stainless steel with a grip sleeve in potentially wet areas.

 

Mira also do nice ones, which cost an arm and a leg (£50-150).

 

I now see that the specialist suppliers for disabled / elderly have raised their design game and are worth a look. And also that Screwfix etc have a smaller range of relatively inexpensive ones in stock.

 

Here are a couple that I am just ordering - both around £20-30.

The other key point with anything like this is to have 60-75mm of screw in the solid wall eg the brick. You never know when a 120kg large bloke is going to need to grab it whilst falling.

I didn't like any I saw (appearance/material/ sturdiness) until I found some abroad, with an 'own-brand' name. Roca were good too but more expensive, and so similar I wonder if they were the same.

I tried one and then got loads as they are so good.

I came across a Wickes advert and they look the same to me, so worth a look., especially at £19, and 10% off if you can get a trade account.

 

I also bought stainless steel screws, as I have known some supplied fixings to rust, which is not good behind the tiles.

Then silicone inside the plugs, and behind the capping....good so far., and very sturdy.

Agree - looks like  agood product, especially with the perma-trade-discounts at Wickes. Personally, I would not go for the curved bar corners other than in a bathroom.

 

I like Croydex as a brand.

Had another look at it and it does seem identical. If in Wickes I will have a prod.

Each fixing plate has 3 screw points, is very sturdy, and pulls comfortingly tight.

The thing to watch in a bathroom is where you will have to drill your holes.

Leaving aside your repeated turning of my mighty thread into a soft **** movie, you should be grateful for the more intelligent female half of the inhabitants of Bristol.

 

If you had to wear something with that many interlinked straps, you'd be like a kitten with a ball of string, and would probably end up hanging yourself from the ceiling hook without even needing any help from the local dominatrix.

 

Edit (Ooops. Did I just say that out loud?)
