Some people are just entitled idiots and hate the fact that they have to live close to others. Ideally, they'd like to have large houses with space around them, but for whatever reason, they haven't got them, so consequently have a chip on their shoulder for all eternity. This means that these...

It's potentially up to 16 years old. If it were me, I'd treat myself to a new one. An early Christmas prezzie!

There were at least two of these on the market in the 80s. I remember seeing this one with the cover that slides on. The other is here on flameport's website. https://flameport.com/electric_museum/plugs_13A_BS1363/TL_screwless_UK_plug.cs4

So far, I believe the plane touched down too far down the runway. Initially only the right main landing gear and the nose landing gear made contact with the runway. Only much later did the left main landing gear make contact and the plane touched down proper. But by now it was seriously running...

What is there to lobby for? Test equipment manufacturers are on the ball and are kept abreast of all the changes so they can bring up to date equipment to the market in good time. But there are no changes test-wise regarding RCD types, so existing test equipment is still valid for the job.

If you didn't know, why would you have advised that the fan could be connected as you did? I no longer wish to have ridiculous conversations with you like this.

You sound just like Winston. You tell me. You're super confident the fan does not need one.

:ROFLMAO:

When you said this, I feared for our furry little friend... Images of eric firing up a power tool and yelling "Yippee-ki-yay mother f****r!" sprang to mind...

You are not tied to using EE. My 90 yo Ma is in exactly the same position; she is with Plusnet, they are not offering VOIP, so she would like the freedom to go elsewhere. She is out of contract, but all the emails and conversations she has had with them are carefully constructed to steer her...

Yes. Way back to the 14th in 1966. Before that, the 13th, in 1955 only allowed half.

I forgot to say that another common method of wiring a ring final in the 60s was to do the GF as you would normally, but the upstairs sockets were just spurs off the GF RF.

Now, now Winston... We're not abiding by Euro regs and standards here, we are abiding by BS7671. Also, an accessible isolation switch would be useful for maintenance and convenience, rather than having to traipse to the CU in order to isolate the whole circuit. Chapter 53 refers.

It was often done in houses where there would be switches near the bottom of the stairs for the hall and landing lights and one near the top of the stairs for the landing light. So you'd tap the live feed off the hall switch for the landing switch common downstairs, run a T&E up to the landing...

In Miami. Overshot the runway by a large margin, crossed a road and ploughed into a carpark. 5 dead and 5 injured. https://share.google/dyBPR1nURC82CWSY0

I wanted to replace all the cheap nasty stuff in my gaff with Crabtree, but getting hold of it is tricky now and expensive. So I went with MK. As for MK being slim, the original Logic sockets had two plate thicknesses. The deeper plate sockets were designed for 25mm boxes, the slimmer were...

Yes. Death of a great brand. :cry: Crabtree, Volex and Britmac have gone too, as Electrium have decided to concentrate on producing only electrical power distribution products. Crabtree were very good. Another sad face emoji...

Our next EV has V2L. Although I dread to think how much range boiling a kettle for a brew would steal...

Yeah, that's right. 14th Ed. A40 "...Not more than two socket-outlets, or one twin socket-outlet, or one stationary appliance, shall be fed from each non-fused spur." The 13th Ed. stipulates "...not more than two socket-outlets or one fixed appliance..." No mention of twin sockets. I know...

Jenrick spent a good chunk of time slagging off the Tories. Many of whom defected to Reform... Work that one out. As for the way they presented their planned tax-free personal allowance, you'd think they were offering everyone the full 15K, where in reality it was just an increase of 2.5K to...
