    Teenage mums: are schools to blame?

    No indeed. One hopes that would particularly apply in the case of sex education. However most people introduce their children to their own favourite foods at a very early age. So then, when is a good age to introduce alcohol? And other drugs?

    Teenage mums: are schools to blame?

    Average age for a woman to have sex is 17? So if some are doing this at 25, then that means some are doing it at....9? Er, yes. That's what average means. Julie, Section 28 might have gone away but I doubt it made the subject any less controversial. Here's an interesting querstion I ran...

    RECESTION ON THE WAY

    The bottleneck right now is the planning permission, not what the builders get. That empty piece of ground is worth lots of money. That is the bit I do not like. You can only get a market price for something if people are allowed to get on and build them.

    RECESTION ON THE WAY

    Go out and demand your local council allows more house building. Apparently there was a revolt in Ireland because of tight planning restrictions and now they have been forced to relax them.

    Halogens held in by expanding foam!

    Polyurethane foam gets darker just with exposure to air and sunlight so it might not be getting dangerously hot. Some downlighters are rated to be fitted in inflammable surfaces, and some are not. Smoke hoods are designed to stop flames spreading from a room below to a room above. In...

    WHATS THE POINT IN VOTING

    Indeed, Single transferrable vote. Like what they use in N Ireland, London Mayor. What they use when people start shooting if the result is perceived to be unfair. Still retains the constituency link to the member, which is a good thing to prevent realy slimy people getting in just on a party...

    Adding a Ring Circuit

    It is sometimes considered nice to keep the cables in the same order in the earth and neutral bars as they are in the mcbs. So all wires for first circuit go in first position, all wires for second circuit go in second position...and soon. Though if you do not have any spare holes it sounds like...

    Its gonna upset people

    Though unless they have changed it, if you read the public guidance leaflet issued by the ODPM you would get the definite impression that a lot more is allowed than that.

    GINGER

    gee jasy, this is really a very important point. You may consider that ginger hair is regressive. I think an important phenotype like this which only shows when the relevant recessive allele is matched with another similar in a heterozygous environment deserves careful discussion.

    Earth bonding and LV bathroom electrics

    I am not quite sure what you mean by 'use the combined rcd/FCU...for bonding'. You do not have to 'earth' the pipes which you are bonding. What you have to do is join them all together. Any earthing which happens is incidental and due to them being earthed already. The idea is that you do...

    Earth bonding and LV bathroom electrics

    You are allowed to do bathroom supplementary bonding just outside the bathroom (for example in some cupboard or compartment) but it should be accessible for inspection as and when this might be required. if the manufacturers are instructing you to cross bond things then I amd not going to...

    help!! (with power)

    I think that is what I meant. It will only work if the main supply is not overloaded, which it probably is not, but this may depend on how jury rigged the setup is already. How difficult it is depends on how far you have to go, whether there is an easy route for the cable, how much power you...

    Earth bonding and LV bathroom electrics

    If the power shower is entirely hidden from people in the bathroom, then strictly speaking it does not make any difference to your bathroom setup. Supplementary bonding should connect together any source of earth entering the bathroom zones. (a bathroom is split into zones where different...

    To bond or not to bond

    Yes mate, me too. Why should the boiler pipework be cross bonded? I recall reading something about boilers having metal flue pipes which pass out of the building, hence they are a source of possible external earth and need primary bonding. Where is the reason for cross bonding the pipework?

    help!! (with power)

    first question back to you, do you really mean if someone next door turns on 'anything'? If you are getting a voltage dip when nextdoor turns on a lightbulb then what is most likely wrong is far too small a cable to these buildings from the main supply. You might fix this by installing a...

    GINGER

    So why do they predict it will be extinct? Is someone going round shooting ginger haired people? It may not show in you because you only have one ginger gene, but just watch out when you start mating with someone who also has just one. I remember seeing a program about hair. It said that some...
