So, if I understand it right, once a company has a Qualified Supervisor the people actually doing the install don't have to have done the 2381 exam?

You must have been unlucky! PTFE tape has always worked for me. :)

Somebody passed me some info that said that the person wasn't certified ('scuse the expression) but that the company was. That is, the organisation gets the certificate but the employees don't - unlike CORGI. This means that if you work for an outfit that has a certificate you are OK...

Yes, it's not that difficult but you have to understand your own competence and local regulations before making the decision whether to do it yourself or not. This is a UK based site so the information is only relevent to UK installations, but here...

Maybe we're all in a mega on-line version of the Weakest Link and really --tom is Anne Robinson in disguise?

The council haven't a hope in hell. You can only get done if you have been witnessed actually committing the offence. That's why they set up sting operations with CCTV cameras. This one's a no brainer.

A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter. 1 Gall = 10lbs. 1 litre of water weighs 1kg (2.2lbs in old money).

Just make sure that you know how to get out in case of a fire. It's all very well stopping people getting in but think about the other way round as well!

Dear Gordon Brown, Thank you so much for your duplicated letters that arrived this morning. I must admit I'm somewhat surprised to see that common sense and modern technology means that you can't discern the fact that my wife and I have the same address and so only one letter would have...

Recent experience with a Neff oven would seem to indicate that £40 is a reasonable deal. Make sure you don't use any oven spray near it (if you use that sort of thing). Bear in mind that your CD drive doesn't have to work at 230deg C.

No, that should be PAEDALLED. :lol:

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be eight again." she replied. On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her off to the local theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the...

Nice one!! 8)

Yes, there's an exception to every rule and the CdG is definitely one of them. Not one of their finest designs. I believe that in actual fact the flight deck is a few feet too short to land the E-2 plane (or it might be another one). Also these minor shortcomings...

I suppose you can put it down to our collective lack of vision and conservative (small c) outlook. Hats off to the French who seem to be able to put together projects and see them through to completion and end up with something usable. Minitel (early internet) was used throughout France to...

This http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15954&highlight= may help a little.

The spray arms are driven by water pressure. If there is any blockage at all they won't rotate. http://www.dishwasher-care.org.uk/best.html#works

I was a bit too young to take much interest in this but it was around 1961. I remember talking to a "man from the ministry" once. He was talking about a recent scheme to employ young people to build dry stone walls in the area. He recalled witnessing the destruction of Blue Streak rockets...

Ever since this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/3974043.stm I've been unable to find a jar of Branston pickle anywhere? Christmas is coming, I'm down to my last quarter of a jar - disaster looms! I read that the street price of cocaine is at its lowest level ever - it's becoming...

I've often pondered the same thing. The most critical item being the central heating. I wouldn't waste time getting a generator big enough to boil kettle. You can pick up really neat camping stoves for around £20 which would do the job far more cheaply. You can get some small, quiet...
