I had a last minute request from Mrs S to put a socket in the dining room. The dining room has a laminate floor, so I had to take a spur from the hall socket then run the cable through the hall wall back to back with the site of the new socket. So, I put a single box in the hall wall where the...

Think I've mentioned on here before about this, but it's getting worse... Which? magazine held an investigation into it and found that some students cannot buy products at lower prices because they are not eligible to apply for a card at their age. It used to be that the "savings" were modest...

This is our hero cat. We were offered him at 10 weeks and, because someone had promised to pick up his brother and repeatedly failed, we were offered him too. The other day, I did a really stupid thing. An absolutely absent-minded, but nevertheless, really stupid thing. I made myself egg on...

...to be decisive! He is, you fool... He's told you to sling your hook!

Put a question to Argos regarding the Hisense A6QTUK vs E6QTUK as to what differences there are between them. Get the response, I have asked our supplier and there is no difference. In which case, why? Why do Argos sell 2 TVs exactly the same with different model numbers, but more...

I have a mirror cabinet in the bathroom that has two 18W fluorescent fittings in. One by one they died, so I want to swap them out. The actual gear has died, so I'll be taking the fittings out and sourcing LED fittings of a suitable length to replace them. But what would be the equivalent in...

Just been to the Post Office to send a 60g package in a jiffy bag. Said I needed it there fairly quickly. She said "I can do next day?" I said "How much is that?" "9.25." "And it gets there in the morning?" She actually laughed. "No. If you want it there in the morning, it will cost..." Get...

https://share.google/ZIPTDHJNKhKes5hLn I think there's only two ways to sort this out. Don't serve alcohol on planes. Breathalyse every passenger at the gate. UK passport holders who are over the UK drink drive limit get refused boarding with no refund, or the airline sets the limit.

Is he being selective?

We don't wire lighting circuits in 0.75 flex.,.

This must be about 10 years old now. Went to put it on one day and it was dead. Checked the socket, fuse and lead continuity, as it was squashed where it was pushed back. They are all fine, so it's not a simple supply issue. Any ideas, before I call someone?

Parents in law rang the other day with a query. Their boiler had gone off overnight, and following my previous advice,they discovered the boiler MCB had tripped, so they reset it. There was still no power, so I talked to them on the phone and said I could point them towards changing the 3A...

First time this year. Will do the interior another day.

He says Chagos handover is an act of great stupidity. Yet previously, when meeting Starmer at the WG, he had agreed it was a good thing! Then, to add to the ridiculousness, Badenoch wades in and agrees with Trump!

Need to replace it. I have looked on Fleabay and Azamon using various names, keywords etc... have found similar things for metal lockers like you'd find in a swimming pool changing room, but nothing like this. It's off the back box on my mobility scooter.

While tidying up papers, we found the invoice for a couple of nights for a brief stay after our wedding. Two nights in a bridal suite with a huge spa bath, breakfast and dinner...£300.

About to replace our Which? recommended Indesit vented TD. It has had its bearings replaced twice before and they are failing for a third time. Which? don't recommend vented dryers any more, as they are horribly inefficient. The one they do recommend, which is at the same time labelled a best...

As some know if they have followed my threads, I bought a 58" Hisense Freely TV for the lounge and moved the 50" LG Freeview Play TV into the den. Before I had the LG, I had two old Samsung Freeview TVs from 2013 and 2014. The aerial is chimney mounted and feeds both TVs. It is split at ground...
