LOL I thought you`d like my comment Eric ;) I am sometimes known to make/think of daft comments sometins in reply to folks - I have a weird sense of humour! I am particularly fond of "False Logic " although some of those conspiracy theorist seem to take a fact or apparent fact then apply...

Hah I like that, charging from a public toilet, are we now to use urine as an electrylite in our batteries?

I have been to jobs (Rewires example) and yes seals were already missing so I informed owners then rang the suppliers, they wera always ok then, Often I`d completed the rewire before they attended to reseal, this might have ever so slowly tempted me request a reseal even if it was intact and...

Robots (and computers etc) can do amazingly fantastic things providing that they have been designed and programmed with intelligence (including a large dose of commom sense) by humans overseeing things and mitigation against of the law of unintended consequence. This new art of "Artifical...

Yes thats true Mottie, I was talking in a general call into a shop to buy something sort of situation, whislst there are some very good reasons for online selling it can be used unfirly by some as a sort of buy and sell or buy and return phillosophy which I do not think it was actually intended...

Awwh nawty securespark but then yes I get what you saying too! LOL. Two ways of looking at this, thats the problem. In this particular instance yes a good solution and some firms might have a policy of being happy to take non-faulty goods back and get a refund and everybody happy and it makes...

Not things I`d be thinking of myself but as I have seen them then some folk like them so its another choice if needs be.

Can you still get those light fittings of sizeable circular size that will readily plug into a BC or ES lampholder - I`ve never been keen on them meeself but some might consider it I suppose!

why do I have an aversion to sockets etc in cupborads? well firstly some folk reckon than cupboards and wall units say in a kitchen are not part of the building fabric so that makes it a no no - I do not follow them on that idea because unless they are purely temporay I think they are usually...

I do not think I ever saw a triple red & earth maybe it was too expensive. "I pointed out he had red to com at both switches" yes indeed Eric and in my experience I reckon most do that for some reason too. Quite possibly in the days of conduit in homes the L feed to com on one switch and L...
