First ever batch of wilko pilsner. 1035-1005 so far so good. Bottled 2 weeks ago but there is a white residue in the bottom of the bottles. How do I stop this from happening?
White settlement?

Simple answer, you don't... that is what's called bottle conditioned beer!
When you primed with sugar the yeasties eat that sugar to make co2 and leave a little sediment behind. There's nothing wrong with it and its actually good for you. Of you do t want cloudy beer just decant into your glass carefully and the sediment should get left behind.
99% of commercial beer is force carbonated and then bottled. And a lot of it heat treated to kill any remaining yeast. Which apparently can impact on the flavour of your beer.

Brewing without a hat
As far as I am aware, all commercial lager will be filtered, pasteurised and force carbonated so lager drinkers will not know that the sediment shows it's real beer. These things aren't done to real ale and there are some bottle conditioned ales available in the supermarket that will have the sediment. Home brewed beer usually has the sediment but you can avoid it. I think you need a corny keg that the beer can be left to clear in and then force carbonated. You then fill the bottles from this. In practice the sediment isn't an issue - you just need to pour carefully and leave it behind.
