who is this cazzo of mike ashley?

He’s the owner of Newcastle United.
Been their 10 years and is possibly the most disliked owner of any football club in the English Premier League.
A billionaire who buys businesses, strips them of all dignity and assets and bullies those associated into thinking he is helping them.
A real cockney bastard! ( ie born out of wedlock).

@Paul C. is the man to ask he's an encyclopaedia

British standards 12 years ago, when I first started were useful reading.
12 years later, I think they're very outdated and impractical in places.
If the writers really engaged with the industry's leading fixers instead of dictating their own take on best practise, it'd be far more relevant...

Still, if you can, read it and absorb it.

If you wanna re-mortgage and buy them, you or you can veiw them for by following this:
British Standards no longer available at Newcastle Library.... But here's another way. - https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/british-standards-no-longer-available-at-newcastle-library-but-heres-another-way.83947/

Newcastle didn't have the funding to keep going. Other libraries have them but going through manchester was by far the easiest way.

Morning all. A while back I posted this thread about how to access british standards after Newcastle Library stopped doing them:
British Standards no longer available at Newcastle Library.... But here's another way. - https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/british-standards-no-longer-available-at-newcastle-library-but-heres-another-way.83947/

Thing is, Manchester have them, but they have now blocked access to anyone not associated with their Intellectual Property Centre. So on the hunt for a new way.

New way to do it here: https://www.tilersforums.com/thread...-british-standards-for-free-these-days.89724/
