Me too, but I have exceptionally good hearing. I have always had a problem, understanding what people are saying, when there is noise to contend with.

3x LG sets - acceptable sound level/quality. The 24" tv in the kitchen, the most recent set bought - absolutely abysmal. Even on max volume, it's difficult to hear, above the fan oven's fan, it's muffled, squeaky, totally lacking in bass.

Some fibre is underground, but also some on poles. You get an unpowered joint, where the underground, or from the pole line finishes, and the indoor fibre. then continues to the ONT. The ONT, needs power, and translates from fibre, to a copper network cable, feeding the router. The router...

That would be the ideal, but unachievable for most.

It's still very much a compromise, on a separate circuit for the alarm.

Chaos..... We had two calls to make in the Main St., one to discuss what seemed to be an overcharging, on our card, last time we were in Spoons, for a meal, to collect a prescription, and a letter to post. Av set off on foot, me tagging along on the scooter. I got to the main st., took the...

Thanks for that, I wasn't sure. Is there a distance limit, over which this works, without power?

Why, except as a 'social concession'? The service is the very same, a fibre carrying data, from your local exchange, to your home. It needs the same amount of maintenance as where it is used for both internet and VoIP, as just for the VoIP. Besides, relative costs for having the VoIP, compared...

'In an emergency' I think, says it all. A segregated 'switch', rather than one which might be accidentally operated. The idea of multiple circuits, minimises the chance of a fault, affecting multiple items - it also makes fault-finding so much easier.

My experience of what takes place on the wider network, and in the exchanges, dates from the 70's, but it's obvious to me that copper use is over, long gone. The telephone service is now almost entirely VoIP, which is data, data, just like the web pages you load, and sharing the very same fibre...

That's the sort of age, where many (not me), tend to refer such problems on, due to reducing capacity. Me, I tend to sort my own problems out, rather than take the risk of employing, and have issues made somewhat worse ;)

A separate circuit, is a very different thing, compared to an isolation switch. A separate circuit, means opening up a consumer unit, to gain access to the circuits MCB/RCBO - much less chance of such being accidentally operated, and more obvious too.... Reminds me of a 50-way fire alarm board...

I have no argument with that, it would be a very sensible solution. I would suggest you are wrong there, one would need to be really stupid, not to be able to appreciate that a regular noise from an alarm, was meant to convey that something was amiss with the alarm.

I cannot clearly see where the water is leaking from, but the marks, suggest it is leaking from where the front to rear panel, linkage pipe, connects to what seems to be the front panel. If that is correct, then it would seem to be faulty manufacture of the radiator. The repair, will be complete...

I wonder, if the trigger for the fan, might be a thermal switch - rather than the usual sensor, feeding temperature information, to the engine management, then the engine management operating a relay. Assuming a thermal switch, that could be faulty.

Is there some other method, other than using the internet, to gain access to data?

Those boards don't look too wet, I would expect them to dry out, and there to be less damaged if left in place. Address the leak, as an urgent priority.

It's all a bit of an ANTiclimax, once you have found the fault.

A length of angle iron, welded to the underside of the drum, so it extends out across the gate width, plus a similar second one, extending out to where the gate would be in the open position - might be all that is needed, to counteract the leverage.
