I was in the builders merchants this morning funnily enough buying some materials and got back and received the e mail , Forwarded it on straight away to the them and they will forward it to the supplier. Basically the builders merchants are blaming the supplier for it , all they did was order it for me and it was available the next day after it was delivered. So I'm not entirely sure who would be responsible for it , Supplier I guess ?

Plenty more photos if needed. The top photo shows the colour sample EverBuild ( manufacturer )sent me via E mail this morning) They also stated that they only have one shade of grey and have not changed it,as stated by the supplier. Although they do now sell an all weather wet and dry product. IMO the colour match is closer to buff than grey.

But this is not a mortar product , hence me using it and I have taken plenty of work down due to an architects instruction . The last example would be on the "Athletes village med centre " on the Olympic site where a colour difference was visible over a lift of scaffolding. The supplier of the premixed mortar was responsible for it and was counter-charged by Bovis who was the main developer on site. Thanks for the input.

Not received anything from TalkTalk at all. I would phone them but the customer service is appalling.Think I will ask them via email. What packages does this apply to please ?

Still working on my 10 posts ( some don't seem to be adding to my total for some reason ?) Anyway I have contacted the manufacture and they sent me a colour sample via e mail this morning of the actual product once set. Its more of a match to the buff sample than it is the grey. So I am thinking its a mix up at the factory and has been packaged wrong. Once i hit the magical 10 I will post the images.

I used to love going to the pub with friends for a night out on a friday. Now we take turns and have an evening around someones house. I actually prefer it now , since I smoke and the prices in London pubs are extortionate these days. I can buy a bottle of nice wine or 5 tins of lager for a fiver in the local shop.Wouldn't get any change from 20 quid in a pub for that. Very expensive to have a good night out in London now.I'm sure its the same across the country.

Aww keep trying Danielle. I know its really hard to do. Think of all the extra clothes/shoes/handbags you could buy with the money you save . Best of luck !

Ssssh Dotty , don't encourage him .Hes bad enough already lol . Anyway the brandy and port is for me

The probation service offers both preventative ( through rehabilitation ) and obviously custodial types of service. If we do privatise it what will come first : Profit or quality of service ? Not everyone in prison is necessarily a bad person. Everyone deserves a second chance in life after they have served the sentence. Rehabilitation must come before profit in my view.

Just out of curiosity what's wrong with Microsoft ? Trusting google with your information is like trusting a strange dog not to bite you lol. Microsoft Office is the best on the market. I'm a Chrome user by the way ( Dev builds and use Google drive as well ) EDIT : had to remove your link for your post due to my low post count.Sorry san_d , hate to edit peoples posts like that

This country will end up like America. Money driven and run by corporations. Basically what will happen is that we will have huge corporations like BlackWater ( USA) running things and if you keep up with current events in the US and Middle East.....we all know that will end up bad. Time to emigrate to Oz it think. Shocking news , really is.

My step dad , who I care for makes me smile everyday. He has Alzheimer's but he just makes me smile with the things he says. Hes just such a character and is a funny man.Not in a comedian tell jokes way but in his mannerisms and witty (cheeky) remarks, His remark this morning was : Pops ( thats what I call him ) would you like a drink ? His reply was . Yes please large port and brandy ! I said... Its 9 o'clock in the morning mate lol He said ..... yeah, but its my day off ! Hes 85 and been retired for many years

Hope you are still on track , I have tried several times to give up but always seem to get back on them Normally when alcohol is involved lol.

One thing I would add is buy decent compressed air and not a cheapo tin as they sometimes leak out fluid when you spray. Great tutorial, Thanks

I use both , Prefer 7 ( both Pro x64 ) but will await the new 8.1 update and see what that brings,

Oppz .... just realised I need 10 posts or more to post images.When I have them I will post the images. When I went to my local builders merchant I purchased everything I would need to complete the job .Sand ,cement, slabs and the jointing compound ( along with some joists, screws and decking) All adding up to nearly £700.00. When I ordered the slabs I wanted I asked if they sold a jointing compound and they suggested "Geo-Fix" and I asked if it came in "Grey" so it would match my slabs .It cost £45.00 for a tub and would just be enough to point my paving ,around 7 square meters in total. Its in a sealed 20KG vacuum pack and you have 45 mins to use it as it starts to set after that time frame. When I opened it up it was whitish in appearance, didn't take much notice to be honest .I took it for granted a chemical reaction would happen with the air and I would have grey pointing the next day after it fully sets. As to why they have offered me a replacement ,I think its just to shut me up to be honest. The builders merchants have said they will get it in writing via e mail from the supplier and forward it to me. Something along the lines that they have a newer shade of grey now. I believe the supplier and the manufacturer are two different entities . I have done some googling around to see if I am the only one and have found some negative comments on amazon.co.uk complaing about the colour ( I should have researched it before I purchased it from my local builders merchant I guess) Ah, the small print ... always the small print lol. I wouldn't mind it if was a different shade of grey ,but this isn't grey at all ( not even one of the 50 shades some people read about ) Just really annoyed that I have been sold a product and have been let down by it. Even if they gave me a full refund Id still have the wrong pointing. The only solution I can think of is to use a patio sealant to try and tone the contrast down. Most likely costing £50.00 to do the job and my time. Thanks for the reply Jeremy appreciate it !

Hi first post , hope its in the right place I have recently laid a new patio in my garden and used a product called "Geo-fix" jointing compound to point the joints. I purchased it from a local builders merchants and asked for "Grey" to match my new slabs. After pointing it, I have noticed that the colour specified on the tub isn't what i have in reality. Its more like a buff colour. I have sopke to in person and e-mailed the builders merchant with photos of my problem and they informed me it was an issue the supplier would address. The supplier has told me via the builders merchant that thats the grey they make and have offered a replacement tub for free. I work as a bricklayer and know that if i cut out the old pointing ( in my own time and at my own expense) that its more than likely that i will damage the slabs. Do you think its a fair an acceptable offer they have made. Where would i stand legally on this issue please ? I have attached some photos for reference. Many thanks Sean
