Only on the cold, though I almost never use the hot.

I'll look at finding a wire or sth. I reckon I can take it from here. Thanks for your help.

Added a picture of the tap. May get round to a video (can't do it now)

The only faucets I’ve ever seen without an aerator are the basin farm-style spigots that have become a recent fad. All others should have one equipped when sold. That’s an important distinction to make because many people remove them without replacing them, usually due to poor pressure or not wanting to be bothered to go buy another one. Your faucet could be missing one for that reason.

The bathroom tap downstairs clearly has an aerator, but it's a completely different model.

I believe it's the only one. It's only recently started to sputter. It's like the water supply gets blocked momentarily.

Do all taps have aerators? The water on this tap - when it's behaving itself comes out in a solid stream, not like a shower.

Ah, maybe it's a laminar aerator. I can't see any such thing on the tap. I'll try to get a photo of the tap.

The water from my bathroom tap comes out at an angle (as though I had my finger over the stream). The direction of the water changes as I turn the tap. It also makes squealing noises and sometimes sputters, making loud knocking noises when it does.

It behaves better if I run the shower at the same time. If I tighten it shut really hard, sometimes it will return to normal for a bit. I mostly stopped doing that though cos the seal broke and had to be replaced.

What's wrong with it and how hard is it to fix? I have zero plumbing experience.

His voice act was breaking there. A little tired perhaps?

So the supermarket can't see your card details?

I mean, why bother with the loyalty card? Can't they just track the payment (debit, credit) card?

 

Can't they just track everything you buy using your payment card?

Our attention's (largely) on the wrong thing. We need to acknowledge the mental health crisis and start acting on it right now. We're currently arguing over whether to buy plasters while continuing to stab ourselves. No of course we shouldn't be paying all this money to manage poor mental health, because people shouldn't be this sick in the first place.

I give it to Burnham that he's focusing on communities. I think that will improve mental health.
