    Visit M''urica

    Hi all. My old mate lives in Maine. He's getting married later this year and invited me to be there. I watch a lot of these drug busting tv programmes in airports and people being refused admission because of a criminal past. I am now 48 (49 next month) and i do 'have a past' Court and...

    Largest nursing strike in NHS history set to start

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-63946730 I guess banging pots and pan lids wasn't enough then? Good luck to them, just don't get sick this Christmas. They should have started at 40% and come down from there, maybe 25% would be fair...

    3.4KW oven

    Sorry, It doesn't make sense to me, But I am not a sparky. 3.4 or 3.6Kw is neither here or there. 200w is negligible here. 2.5mm is fine. for EACH appliance. 3.6KW plus what ever your 2nd oven is (13A?) is over what 2.5mm can carry (16+13A). I think 2.5mm is about 23A, Without 'diversity'. you...

    3.4KW oven

    I would have though full load under worst conditions. Can a manufacturer apply diversity to it's own products? It's made me think.

    3.4KW oven

    Did this oven come fitted with a 13A plug? I would hope not. Yes, 13A fuse is definitely under rated. It certainly wouldn't blow though, but I certainly wouldn't risk any 13A plug, socket or FCU. Too many cheap Chinese tat imports. I would go with a cooker switch avoiding any fusing if it's a...

    Expanding foam exposion

    I couldn't agree more!!. Fitting windows with a mate at his house. It came out a bit fast and I used 4 finders to wipe off the excess. I had a black right hand for well over a week from the dirt that continued to stick to it. I never did find anything to remove it apart from sandpaper...

    Switch wires too small

    In panel wiring, we twisted and crimped. No soldering in sight. Tinning wires in looms, sometimes. Usually in a pot, not an iron. Soldering or soddering? We get older, not 'odder' Silly yanks, annoys me that does..
