First up, so glad you found the will and got the solicitors involved, now for the second part, all I`ll say is that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
Good luck

In the last two weeks I have had clients who were a plumber, a plasterer and a driving instructor. All 3 of them in their early 60's, and had been working during this lockdown. None of them had any known health issues apart from this dreadful COVID. For those who don't know, I am in the funeral business.
I know of many self employed tradepeople who only attend for real emergencies such as no heating and burst pipes in the case of plumbers and get abuse when they turn down work such as a dripping tap because people get too close.

Have all health care workers been given a injection now?

Depends on how you read what the National Park grant money is being spent on then,
By the way, wasn`t this discussed a couple of months ago?

The things you mention aren`t being funded by the 4% increase though.

Yes.
Look for ventilation grills.

Not true to all!! My daughter-in-law is the manager of a very large
plumber/electrician/building maintenance company and many of
her staff don't want to go in to some house which she is contracted
to do. She has many mental problems now for having to send
them into those places and has many sleepless nights and also tears!
She's between a rock and a hard place through trying to help people
and also trying to keep her employees safe. She can't win whatever she does!!
I`ve given it a like for showing the view of some managers
However hundreds of engineers do not feel the love!!!

Couldn`t agree more, lots of talk amongst plumbers and gas guys about being told to go into properties where they do not feel safe to do so but the boss doesn`t give two hoots.

Just a thought, following Brexit will she still be exported to the Netherlands?
Don`t see a problem providing the paperwork is in order.

Nothing worse for me than going to a customer and finding their water pump has died then after telling them which pump to buy you return to find a cheap rubbish item there waiting to be installed all because their mate said it would do the same job!

Cannot you just use a bucket?
Bucket won`t tell the angle of the pipe. Too little or too much makes a difference.

Clinometer, in basic terms a spirit level which saves me time arguing with builders and plumbers why their water doesn`t flow uphill.

We were in between houses and were renting a house from a Farmer friend. It had no central heating and we had a scatttering of electric fires of various types all over the house, One morning I was sitting at the dining room table reading the paper and Toby my Cocker Spaniel was by my side. I smelt burning and found he had sat himself too close to the electric fire and singed his rear end! Before I could do anything about it he suddenly leapt up and running in mid air for a way hurtled out of the dining room. The odd thing was he never forgot the experience and not only did he never enter that room again he associated the incident with the dining room furniture and would never enter the dining room at our next house either. A situation that remained for the rest of his life.

It is my understanding that if you run the engine for an hour at slightly above idle tickover the alternator will recharge the battery.

I think that reading this article is well worthwhile:

Whilst I don`t believe everything on main stream media I believe even less from the local papers.

Media muckraking? Hardly helpful at this time.
Did you read it? Anyway, I disagree and think it raises valid points re workers and conditions they are working in.

It’s about time the UK enforced a visitor daily road tax to all these foreign trucks who come over here.
who don’t pay for nothing..No road tax .. No fuel.. No overnight parking charges. No fines... Etc etc..
When the shoe is on the other foot when we go over there.. We have to pay for everything...Just think of the extra millions of pounds what could be going in the UK pot for every vehicle over 3.5tonne arriving in the UK 🇬🇧
And coming out of every purse to pay for it.

There has been two or three oil leaks of late. One resulted in numerous EA vehicles coming together in Brundall marina a few weeks back.

At this point I would of pointed out that chrome show`s up fingerprints a lot more than brass and I wouldn`t want my darling polishing door handles every day.
