    what do people think of her partner being allowed to stay out longer? I wonder if the same helping hand is given to other detainees or other people on licence who are planning weddings et al in similar circumstances. I find this very hypocritical. If it had been mr average, he would be told...

    Subsidence?

    sounds a little sinister. Could it be the case of a seller patching up some bricks that show signs of subsidence? I guess it would be hard for a surveyor to spot subsidence if some recent cosmetic repairs had been carried out...

    Subsidence?

    Maplin switch timer

    Hi, I bought a Maplin timer that replaces a switch. I've taken the front cover off the current arrangement and I am a little confused. This double switch feeds two outside lights on a dusk till dawn sensor. The Maplin switch has three terminals. I don't understand why there is a brown...
