Unlikely. The point is that BT are trying to close ~80% of their exchange locations. An all-fibre access network will mean that they only need 1000 exchanges nationwide. Keeping exchanges open to serve a handful of copper users is wasteful. If you move the equipment that serves dialtone from the...

The user base for copper voice services is dying out. The cost per copper voice line is only going up, so everybody else will have to subsidise this.

Not quite nothing, see pcaouolte's post. They have to tell everybody to dial full numbers now. A dull, technical thing happening in the background is being spun as a wonderful new dawn for humanity!

Nonsense or otherwise, it makes it stand out from a million other very similar product listings, and you posted a link to it so turns out it's a good marketing strategy!

I reckon that photo shows a poster saying "Medical emergencies in the dental practice" with "<unreadable> NHS" next to that, so probably in the UK. Who knows if the OP will ever come back!

If the existing fixture is a standard size, then it's likely that drop-in replacements exist, which someone could suggest to the OP if we knew the dimensions. @ericmark see, someone appreciates you :D

Supply voltage. Electrical regulations. Standard/commonly available product dimensions.

Replies you get in forums are just advice. Nobody is paid to answer questions and you're not paying anyone for it either. Lurk for long enough and you will work out who's useful, who's a Walter Mitty, who's a waffler, who's an ivory tower/high-horse type, etc. You have to use your judgement at...

I had a newt tadpole in my pond within the last month. It has various deciduous trees overhanging it so I do as Munroast described.

I can't wait to read how it went when you tried to do it yourself.

Start by checking both registers on your meter and see if they both increment. You might need to do this several times a day at first to get an idea of what is normal.

I got a Sebo X4 Extra from charity shop for £30. Absolute bargain, solid build quality and almost all parts are available as spares. Yes, it's great at picking up cat hair.

I should think it's fairly low risk even for a novice DIYer to drill a few small holes between the pairs of handles. The "exit wound" is going to be covered by the handle, and there's already a hole anyway so there should be very little tear out. At least you know what the solution is even if...

You appear not to be able to comprehend my post, and then immediately decide I must have some ulterior motive? Says more about you than me, I think. I'm out. And I am going to be very sore if it turns out everybody else has been getting prizes for their "number of replies"!

Is it worth the effort to go from 10A to 16A charging, on a hybrid vehicle, which presumably doesn't have a particularly big battery anyway? How much time will you save on a 0-100% charge?

Make a hole in the inner leaf of the cavity below the meter box, feed your power cable through that and then bring it up through one of the holes in the bottom, connect your Shelley. This really is risky though, because there are at least three cables in that cavity which you don't want to hit...

Start by jet washing it and then live with it for a bit. Rendering shouldn't bridge the DPC :(

Followup....last few times I have run it, the pan has been dry. Can't really explain this one. Nothing like this ever "fixes itself"! I was emptying it after every run previously. At least I can put the kick panels back on now.

What happens to the tails indoors? Straight in to the fuse box? I would put it in there but you probably don't have an isolator so it's not a risk I would take, as an amateur.

My guess is that something catches the rear right corner, but the drawer passes it.
