George,

Having just seen your lit kitchen picture again, what's the thing in the middle of the floor - looks like it's a section designed to be removed or lowered.

(and I won't see the filth coming, should I get raided in the early hours!)

Even if it gets me banned from the forum, I have to say I think your choice of words is objectionable. We've probably all had our problems with the police, but on the whole they make the best of a bad job. These are sensitive times, and business leaders need to set a good example.

By all means express your opinion.

The comment was said in jest.

However, for the record, I admit I have little respect for the police force (although I have every respect for individual officers), due to the corruption (ie corruption = filth). Over the last few years, we have witnessed a number of serious offences carried out by the police, who have then closed ranks to protect the perpetrator, covering up the crime etc. Even the 'I'PCC is guilty of brushing things under the carpet. Killing an innocent newspaper seller for example, cold-blooded murder of an immigrant on a subway train, and the latest blunder, which has triggered an enormous wave of riots across the country - by killing someone they considered a local trouble-maker, justifying the murder by claiming that he'd shot at a police officer - when in fact the bullet lodged in the police radio (which we are led to believe was shot by the 'trouble-maker') turned out to be police-issue. Whereas I doubt the police were aware that the murder would cause mass rioting, I have to question whether the delay in getting greater police numbers into London to deal with the riots may have been politically-motivated by the chief of police in an attempt to reverse Parliament's intention to substantially reduce police numbers. There's nothing like a short war to safeguard military funding, and I guess the police may have been tempted to do likewise. The politicians certainly think the police were too slow in reacting. Personally, I consider a politically-motivated delay - which put the lives of both law-abiding citizens and police officers on the ground in serious danger, lost shopkeepers their livelihood, caused huge amounts of damage, and which will inevitably increase insurance costs for everyone - to be a 'filthy' misjudgement.

I will set an example, not in towing the line and ignoring inconvenient facts, but in questioning the ethics of an organisation which is above the law.

Anyway, back to kitchens.....

I have seen people using LEDS called flexible LED strip, it seems so slim that it can be applied on anywhere in the car, but the installation shouldn't be too complicated tho'

That's what I used on my kitchen (picture earlier in thread), but I bought 5m length from ebay much cheaper.
