    They still are. Ascot may have gone, but you can still buy instant gas water heaters. I sometimes wonder why more isn't done wrt to having 2 appliances, one for CH and one for DHW, each optimised for the specific task.

    You're a fellow human in personal stress?

    If you like sauerkraut, I can heartily recommend the Vadasz brand. They also make kimchi, and great pickled cucumbers. Everything I've had of theirs has been good, and nothing like the mass-produced stuff in jars and tins. Just don't be alarmed if you buy a tub and the lid is bulging...

    It would have been common in those days to have had an Ascot above the sink?

    lighting adapter to 3 pin plug

    Dunno. A size which was OK with a 15A fuse for protection? oops - my apologies, for some reason (I'll try blaming the heat) I thought the ebee/mikehammer sub-topic was 30/32A circuits.

    lighting adapter to 3 pin plug

    It matters a great deal - before we had fused plugs circuits were 15A radials with unfused 15A plugs. The change to 30A ring finals necessitated changing to fused plugs. With an unfused plug it also protects the power cord. What size would such cords have to be if their only protection was...

    Insulating my ancient living room

    I only have experience of the previous generation, older-style Masterseal sockets. It would not surprise me at all to learn that MK have cheapened the product to the extent that it was now shtty. Sadly an inevitable consequence of people buying on nothing but price.

    We didn't need the rules before we had the rules because until we had the rules plug-in solar was not a practical reality worth bothering with, but once we introduced the rules to make it a practical reality we needed the rules to regulate it?

    Fitting an isolator between meter and consumer unit.

    Is it a circular dependency? We didn't need the rules before we had the rules because until we had the rules plug-in solar was not a practical reality worth bothering with, but once we introduced the rules to make it a practical reality we needed the rules to regulate it?

    Take out the word 'solar' and you're basically describing the plug-in garden power systems that were created to "bypass" Part P.
