please
Please is a word used in the English language to indicate politeness and respect while making a request. Derived from shortening the phrase "if you please" or "if it please(s) you", the term has taken on substantial nuance based on its intonation and the relationship between the persons between whom it is used. In much of the Western world, use of the word is considered proper etiquette, and parents and authority figures often imprint upon children the importance of saying "please" when asking for something from an early age, leading to the description of the term as "the magic word".

Hi
Is the Eco button for the heating of the radiators, or the domestic Hot water?
The reason i ask is there is also an E setting on the Hot water control Knob.
When i had a Baxi(old house), the domestic hot water always had priority. which seems logical. How does a worcester bosch handle it...

I’ve moved into a flat with L&Q and the cheap plastic toilet seat has already come loose. I cannot figure out how to fix it for the life of me, I’ve never seen anything like this before. I have no access to the underside so I can’t just tighten it like I usually would. I’ve attached some photos...

For a 1700 x 700 or 750 bath I was going to either buy Carron, Twyford or Duravit. I want a strong one that...
