    Kitchen Island Socket Installation

    As you're in Glamorgan I assume that Welsh rules apply and so it will need certification/notification (whatever the right word is).

    I assume Madrab meant " should not be an issue".

    Meter reading help

    I really can't agree with that, has there been a typo? Do you mean right (rather than left)?

    street lights and EV charging points

    They're certainly deemed to be big enough around me (near Pimlico tube station), there's one in the lamppost outside and several in the street as a whole. Also I frequently see cars being charged, from a lamppost, in the Chelsea and Battersea areas.

    Concealed Gas flue in listed building

    I believe you'd be better off asking this on the Plumbing and Central Heating forum (regrettably you'd probably need to explain, again, how you got to this query).

    Can I turn down the central heating temperature on combi boiler if I have TRVs?

    Apologies, I've been away from t'internet. Yes they were clear that this is irrespective of any other thermostats (room or TRV), I expect you've got this message from the others well before now.

    Can I turn down the central heating temperature on combi boiler if I have TRVs?

    The PM programme on Radio 4 has been talking about this and, as long as you've got a condensing boiler, they were recommending a Flow (i.e. as the water leaves the boiler) temperature of about 60C. they seemed to be saying that that's a setting of about 3 on a Worcester Bosch boiler on the CH...

    Tracing / fixing a damaged spur

    Usually a cable has some info stamped on (usually only) 1 side (its a sod to read especially in a dingy loft), an example I have is: CMK BASEC ELECTRIC CABLE BS 6004 6242Y H 2 x 1 +1mm² 300/500 V CE 2019 hopefully others will say if I'm guessing wrongly, but I imagine it starts with manufacturer...

    uk 13A 3-pin plugs

    They were certainly making them in the early 70s, I'd reckon no later than 73.

    Can I replace unswitched single socket with switched?

    13Amp socket is fine. It looks as though it's got a metal faceplate so as long as that's earthed OK (along with the earth receptacle) then you're OK.

    Forum Update

    My memory is that I used to hover over my moniker to get a drop-down which included Logout, now I have to click on the moniker. I'm using a Windows PC. When replying, clicking on the Preview button doesn't seem to do anything and the "Watch Thread" options aren't clear (do they still exist?).

    Todays Wordle confusion

    Apparently it was fetus . I'm pretty certain R4s 6 o'clock news yesterday claimed that was the UK spelling, D'oh.

    Connect 3 Core and Earth Cable to extractor with LNT

    Looking at the only twin brown I've got (bought from TLC) both browns are the same (to this DIYers eyes) and are white cored with the brown on the outside only. Edit: Supplier corrected.

    I'm not clear what you're trying to tell us, as that's a repeat of part of the initial post. Have you tried Sunray's suggestion?

    Landing and Bathroom Switch Question

    Yes, an Intermediate switch is a special type. Looking at Sunray's diagram, to the right of "LANDING" the switch has 4 terminals which either connect black to blue and upper red to lower red OR black to lower red and upper red to blue. An Intermediate switch can be used as a 2-way or even a 1-way.

    Single or double pole fused spur

    Previously: I reckon Bernard's recommending Switched, as with Unswitched you'd only be able to remove the fuse which leaves the Neutral connected.
