#*?#@?!! health and bloody safety
Seen it all now...
Just bought a couple of made to measure roller blinds on the internet and very nice they are too. Except for one thing. Heavy metal ball chain (no 10 gauge, aka 4.5mm balls) - good. Ball chain connectors - special "breakaway" safety type because apparently, somewhere, some numpty has hanged themselves on a roller blind. Guess what - they breakaway when you roll the blind up (but are OK down). Anyway - ebay to the rescue for some proper connectors: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290968897608 Top right - yes I know, 80p each - but what can you do?? And for anyone who does not know what I am talking about, this is the crap useless item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/k/261159298233 If I vote UKIP tonight, will they put a stop to this nonsense? Enquiring minds want to know... ;- |
