Why do you need to switch anyone off? Not a fan of democracy and free speech, are we?

So you think everyone who detests/resents/ gets ridiculously angry about GBN, even if they’ve never watched it (but because someone else told them how utterly beastly it is) can be regarded as an unimpeachable harbinger of truth? FFS back at yer,

It has been sanctioned and faces more sanctions. Two things to say about that: one, Ofcom has been flooded with complaints about GBN that it has to investigate, even if they have no sound basis, and is struggling with that task. Two, if there is misinformation and a lack of neutrality then my...

Those who promote and pursue a narrative without properly investigating its truth, because they want to be embraced within an echo chamber. For the sake of balance I’d add that the right has them too.

In your opinion. Sorry, I forgot the Lol.

Well, they’re proper silly billies, in my humble opinion.

Not actually true. Any rational and neutral person who takes the time and trouble to watch the channel--rather than swallowing the narrative peddled by the left wing glove puppets whose sole ambition in life is to shut it down--will notice that in almost all their live discussions they have...

Afternoon all Bathroom project help required, please. We currently have a fairly old bath with taps at one end, and an electric shower at the other. I plan to remove the bath and electric shower, and fit a shower cubicle with thermostatic shower fed from a combi in half the space where the...

Thanks for the response. As stated below I’ll leave “as is”, I reckon.

Thanks for that. I took as much care as you suggested I should do in your first post, and the light operates as intended. I guess I’ll just have to accept the situation and move on.

Seriously chaps, I could do with some help here. The rose with this fitting is pretty shallow and although I managed to get all the gubbins into it, I'd be much happier about the situation if I could give the cables more room. I could go down the obvious route, put everything in a junction...

Photo attached to show the fruits of all the good advice given by you guys. Found the rose with this fitting stupidly shallow, and had to cut the original choc block into individual connectors to make the cables fit. Still very tight and I was wondering: is it possible to buy an adaptor of some...

In all honesty, it took me a while to work out what you meant by “pigtails”. Having done so, a plan is starting to take shape, thanks to you guys. I’ll cannibalise the wires from the old light fitting to the existing block to make those pigtails , and as you suggest connect them from the rather...

The photos were taken with my 4 year old iPhone, so misrecognition of colours is entirely forgiveable, Harry. ;)

That's very helpful, thanks. Seeing the situation a little more clearly now.

Thanks very much for the replies. For some reason I tend to develop a blind spot when it comes to working out electrical connections, IF they're not absolutely straightforward: ie, live to live, earth to earth, neutral to...etc. I'll study your posts and try to overcome this lack of...

Afternoon all I'm replacing an old B and Q light fitting with a new one from the same source, but I'm slightly stumped. There are two light switches in the room, one at each door, so presumably this makes the wiring slightly more complicated. So could someone please explain to me how I...

As a DIYer I've recently fitted the Crabtree shower switch which is recommended above. Its a very solid unit and there's plenty of room inside for the cables, unlike other switches I've come across.

I've got lots of spare time, and I intend to do plenty of "dry laying" before I settle on a final plan, thanks.

Thanks for the response. I think I'm best laying parallel with the longest wall because for one thing, it means far fewer cuts.
