Ok, that'll be interesting, perhaps 1.5 £M GBP, and I'd guess that your Comprehensive cover is 5 x this amount (£100/m) .. but I'd really like to know...., it would be interesting to know "what it really costs" in the UK http://www.browse.to.it/dl.jpg

I'd go for £1M... Directline in the Uk are quite good, about 15 -25 £ GBP / month (do I need to insure that the electrons flow, or do not flow.. or what..??!!)

yep, on EST at the mo... (eastern time) no "melt downs" yet...

it's definitely switching the phase (live) - just checked (on the "problem" upstairs hall light)

not sure, I'll think about that one, will use the "correct" neutral to check the "lights down" issue/trip...

MCB off, no 12V lights etc.. smoke alarms run off 9V batteries fans ... will check - yes there is one in the lighting circuit, I'll disconnect and re-check - borrowed neutrals, - another issue

might be.. check tomorrow, only take 20 mins...

An "interesting" one today... lighting circuit, everything turned off, (on all circuits and disconnected) but 85 Ohms L to N resistance, (thats 600 Watts), tested again with power on and verified by LED "blicks" on meter... thats the entire lighting circuit "on" - but NOT What can the "load"...

This is a strange one, but may have a simple answer.. upstairs light radial is from a RCD, 18ms at I downstairs light radial is via a rcbo, 28ms at I upstairs hall landing is switched by two switches, (live) connected to down radial, neutral from ? if a load (bulb) is turned on (or a megger...

Correct! 10/10 I didn't specify at what temperature, so above the melting (transisition) point it will :)

yea, those vids (of WD-40) are awesome, bit more than butane/propane/alchohol flaming, and quite a different result, the latter burns much nearer to the can and it appears that WD-40 (probably because a liquid - but still propelled out under pressure) burns up much further and higher, "don't try...

If one didn't really know what you meant then that could be taken as some kind of complement... ;-) PS, regards your signature, have you actually tried it with WD-40 ? or is it "I think that it'll behave/react like that?" - or have you seen/tried it with say perhaps an alchohol/butane type...

never heard (about this term - troll), but wiki states/details it, I'm not.... actually wiki is incorrect ie "For example, a veteran of the group might make a post on the common misconception that glass flows over time." cite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll glass actually...

Ok, points noted - and there are a lot of them a) I do care, life is not cheap - and occurs once.... b) I don't have (to my knowledge) a terminal disease ( but life is terminal) and if I actually did, then my Insurance Company would "pay out" £xxx,000 compensation on the policy(s) that I...
