I think the guy has a sense of humour. |

Do keep in mind that the 'Merkins use the term "shagging" differently to its common UK understanding http://www.goshagging.com/ I suppose that both are "dancing" though.... -- ..andy Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

They don't currently seem to have a rating he http://www.bfrc.org/Search_by_Performance%20(Outward%20opening).html Which is odd, because they did when I looked a couple of weeks ago, as confirmed (at the moment) by google's cache: http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:gWuRpARnz8UJ:www.bfrc.org/Search_by_Performance%2520(Outward%2520opening).ht ml+double-glazing+BFRC+rating+planet&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd= 1&client=firefox-a ( http://tinyurl.com/rhre3 ) Perhaps the fact that they were rated as "Band E" for energy efficiency is related to the lack of appearance in the 1st link ...? FWIW the house I moved into a year or two ago has some Planet Double Glazing products. They're ok I suppose. The patio door could do with being a bit stronger though - it wobbles and flexes alarmingly if you swing the door open too quickly. Nowhere near as nice as the ones we had put into a previous house though (they were Rehau I think). HTH, Jim |
