To celebrate the opening of their 200th store, Screwfix challenged shoppers at their new Heathrow Industrial Estate store to test their skill by drilling 30 screws into a block in under 60 seconds, with the fastest getting their name into the Guiness Book of Records.
A challenge that is easier said than done, but speediest driller on the day was Adam Smith, so he is now a Guiness World Record holder! Congratulations and well done!
With the news this week that water bills are rising by up to 8.8% in England and Wales from April, with an average rise of 5.7%, we can all take a look at what we can do to reduce our water usage and keep our bills down.
Here are some tips on easy things you can do in the home:
Look into whether having a water meter fitted would be better for you – it doesn’t cost you anything to have one installed. If you have more bedrooms than people in you home, you may well be better off with a meter.
You could also look into installing a grey water recycling system to enable you to re-use waste water from baths, sinks and washing machines, to flush toilets and water the garden.
