I'm not sure how you know what kind of charger to use. The vendor seems to consider a 'smart charger' to be essential (whatever that may be). I also didn't understand how you are showing the battery photo if it's inside a sealed unit.

Wild guess...

Yes, I thought the rules had changed; but you didn't mention the need for an inside check valve either. An inside shutoff would also useful for freezing weather. My outside tap was put in long before the latest rules so I really need to look it all up.

And most outside taps include a built-in double check valve to prevent backflow.

A few years ago the NHS published a document addressed to all people who were a part of the NHS ordering them to remove any such plastic pieces. I delivered a copy of the document to our local surgery as they appeared not to be aware of it. The next time I attended, the offending items were...

As long as it isn't in the bathroom, and you are sure you are doing it right, you can do this yourself totally legally. Eric used to work as an electrician for pay, and seems to want you to give money to an electrician, but you only need to pay money if you don't know how to do the job yourself.

It didn't used to kill me that often...

Not according to Prysmian. Where did you get this 'information' from?

Not going to be particularly helpful, but I have experience of replacing the oil tank a few years ago now. They said we couldn't replace like for like because the neighbour had just built an extension (with planning permission) 1 metre from our tank, so we were not allowed to replace our tank as...

Seriously, I believe you are over-thinking it. My guess is that you did the cable change and then mentioned it to somebody who scared you into thinking you were going to jail for doing it. Assuming you did nothing stupid in routing the cable, it is probably something any of the non-electricians...

You have that back to front! In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the character Mr. Data's name is pronounced "Day-ta" (with a long "a" sound), and he corrects others who use a different pronunciation. A well-known scene from the show addresses this directly: Dr. Katherine Pulaski: "Dah-ta...

If it were me I'd cut the ferrules off.

BT phone only (no internet) using VOIP is £30.20 a month plus pretty expensive calls, or £48.20 including calls. If you are in certain categories there may be a discount on that.

It's like arguing with Karoline Leavitt. You use lots of convincing words but they're all slightly off-topic. I'm done.

This is the only place in your complete word salad that you even attempt to respond logically. Once again you are saying that overloading the cable is acceptable, but not overloading the connector. How can you justify this? A corollary of your position is that, if you had to replace a section...
