I've put in an appeal but it takes 20 days for the outcome. But if you don't pay fune in 14 it doubles. 12 hours ago, scottsdad said: I parked in Stirling today. The ticket machine was broken. Called Ringgo, and got an automated message saying to download an app. Decided to chance it. Didn't pay, and got no ticket. I think Ringo has been doing odd things during the last week - I use it a lot for work and last week found that (even for small transactions) I was being asked to confirm the £1.80 with RBS. Later I went on the web site and was asked to alter the password and reconfirm my personal details. Might have just been me, but perhaps their system was compromised and took a day or two to sort themselves out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 For some reason when the water of the flat next to mine is turned off, ours goes off as well. Unfortunately next door is having work done to their kitchen. So my water is off. Gone over and spoken to the guys and obviously they didn't know it was the case (why would they? It's a terrible system) and they'll turn it on as soon as they can. Still annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the cutoff anywhere close to the y pipe, and if it is, could you have cutoffs installed after the y instead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every house should have an internal stop cock surely? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every house should have an internal stop cock surely? Pretty certain it's a legal requirement that mains water goes straight to the kitchen from the mains. The neighbours really shouldn't be able to turn off your potable water supply from their flat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the two flats once have been just one? If one big flat was split into two and the work done "on the cheap", they might have left just one stopcock for two flats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the cutoff anywhere close to the y pipe, and if it is, could you have cutoffs installed after the y instead? When we moved into our first flat it was one of 8 in a block. The shut off valve was actually in the street so when we had to turn off the water it meant cutting off the whole block. We quickly had a shut-off valve installed just inside our flat for our convenience but from time-to-time we had to suffer when someone else turned off in the street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
