Further to the moderator pulling the thread due to it degenerating into something it didn't start as, and the many requests for continuing the jolly theme:
We are back
This time no risque photos or otherwise Non PC stuff this time please (well at least try)



Radiator undersized for the volume to be heated. Corner cutting tut tut.

Haha, top effort on the gas bottle!

As an aside, what was the reason the last one was pulled, was it just the dirty horse pic or did I miss something. Just for future ref so I don't fall foul of something smile.

A snapped cambelt can cause valves to meet pistons and snap the cam shaft carriers off in the head - wrecking the cylinder head. The cambelt and tensioners should be replaced on or before the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Happened to two of my 1.8D vans a few years ago.

Shining example of potential dampness in older property constructed lower than surrounding levels and giving rise to penetrating dampness. Oh dear the poor owners - silverfish everywhere and potential wet or dry rot.

Excellent depiction of the lack of vertical alignment of mooring posts indicative of shoddy coastal management.

Low pitched roof

A classic case of window blinds too long - poor measurement before ordering I suspect. Oh dear.
