    Radiator Bracket

    Can anyone tell me how to sort this? My father has had a radiator fitted to his wall. Unfortunately his house is 300 years old and the wall is rather crumbly.

    2 WAY SWITCH WITH A STRANGE SUPPLY

    Can anyone advise me? I'm removing some wiring from my garage before it's taken down and replaced with an extension. I've removed some outside lights which operate from a 2-way switch. Here's where the strange bit is that I've never seen before. The switch in the house is part of a 2 gang...
