    USB Sockets

    Exactly. I have an MK USB A one which I think are around 2A. 10W I also have some MK fast charge ones, with A & C on them which can kick out 25W? But I prefer to use a plug in 5W to slow charge :LOL::rolleyes: MK also did some ones with USB A&C on them, but not fast charge. I don't have one...

    Earth question - Shaver socket

    Considering shavers had batteries since the 80's ? And RCD's have been required on most circuits for a while, These things really are a joke. At least this is getting a bit more modern (with USB sockets) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266995066861

    Earth question - Shaver socket

    it's more the duration that they have to be plugged in for, rather than the current draw itself. They get very hot at the back. My personal opinion is that I'm not a fan of the heat and humming, and we have RCDs there days

    Earth question - Shaver socket

    Tooth brushes take a long time to charge. They are on a slow 1W induction charger. The result is that the isolation transformer cooks away.

    Honeywell T40 replacement stat suggestions

    That is naughtly using a bare cpc for a live conductor. They could of at least used neutral! If you don't want anything fancy, why change it? Personally I like the fancy ones where you can set different temperatures for different times of the day. A good compromise between comfort and economy...

    LED tube replacement

    If they can't replace the those fittings, add some decent ones inbetween. (on a different switch). Don't bother to turn the old ones on! They should last then, for the inspections

    Consumer Unit options preping for upcoming work

    As you are discovering, moving the supply and CU is a very costly exercise. (some would say waste of money) I do hope there is a very good reason to move it!? Do you want a door way there or something?

    Consumer Unit options preping for upcoming work

    so where is the new dno fuse and meter going to be? In a cab outside, near your front door ? I think you need to consider ways to run a cable. (could be 3 tails, or 1 round SWA) between the new supply and your existing CU. Say just below ceiling level. It's probably going to be ugly Your CU...

    CLOSED - Moving main fuse and meter board

    I think its now normal to have the fuse and meter in an outside meter box. (get on with it before they approve the idea of having a box sticking out your garden!) Your electrican will have to run a cable between that box and the CU. I guess you will have to consider where you want the meter box.
