Was going to suggest this. Cheap to install and fixes the problem = no brainer.Dujon wrote:I think this has been mentioned before, but why not invest in some fly screens (some call them insect screens, which is more appropriate)? Does no one sell and fit them in your area? If not it sounds like a market worth exploiting.Gooner Girl wrote:Damn fly's buzzing around all the time. Summer and open windows is a nightmare.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Because this, in Britain, is a very minor problem ?
It's pretty irritating when one buzzes around but it doesn't warrant a construction solution.
Now, those dangly plastic strips my mum used to have draped and over her door ....

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Got a new sofa delivered today, they managed to chip the paint on my newly decorated woodwork and tried buggering off without me noticing, not best pleased!

Yep I went out after them, then phoned the shop and grassed on them. They came back to take pictures, funnily enough knew where the damage was without me pointing it out! I've not heard anything back though. The woodwork can be fixed easily, it's the fact that they tried to get away with it that's annoying.

No, actually! I got a new phone though the insurance this morning, I could have sent it off to be repaired but the excess was only a tenner so thought I may as well pay it rather than go 2 weeks (!!) without a phone. Lost all my phone numbers though

Headline for the Times today - "Hundreds perish as heatwave takes hold".
It makes it sound like one is tripping over bodies who've dropped dead in the street!
