I think you're lucky to be getting off with the £400. Out of that he's to pay his apprentice a wage, an employer's pension contribution, whatever other benefits the apprentice is entitled to and that's all before he takes his own wage and repeats the process for himself. Unlike council tax the...

If only 25kW then your piping at 35mm seems way oversized. I'm running up to 36kW on 22mm quite happily. Yes, your water will flow very quietly but a waste of boiler fuel, heating up a bulk of slow flowing water and a waste of money buying oversized copper. In comparative numbers 22 = 8/m 28...

Why 28 and 35mm heating pipe for what is a pumped system - is it a mansion you're working on ?. Most domestic pumped systems are plumbed in a mix of 22 and 15

If it was mine, I'd change it. If you're completely renovating then there's a good argument for changing out the old copper. If any of those joints, especially where there are 'adapters' converting old imperial sizes to current metric, decide to weep after the floors are relaid then you'll be...

Are you people trying to depress me ! :sick::sick::sick::sick: My daily usage averaged over the year is 17kw for E and 98kw for G. And a few tonnes of wood to boot That, I suppose, is the price for having a large old stone house No chance of getting a sensibly priced heatpump to handle that...

The trusty rusty rhone pipe and guttering is still in the current syllabus

I used to use one for tracing mains wiring buried under plaster. Simply placed finger on one connection on the jack and dragged the tip of the jack across the plaster.

One of the main problems I found with the recent concept of learning and examination via the internet was that there was no 'practical' tuition. So I ended up with a full licence, a nice TX/RX set-up and trepidation about going on the air. You can read all the books in the world and listen to...

We once ordered 100m of high voltage (6.6kV) cable for a project on our offshore oil platform. Can't remember the CSA but it was in excess of 4" diameter and would have put a smile on an elephant's face :). Anyways, the supplier called us up and said he could supply 99metres now or we'd have...

Conversely, or should that be perversely, I wouldn't mind a look at the 'old-style' papers if anyone has them.

Yep, the doorstep was as far as I ever managed to get !! :rolleyes: My original halls was in Bunhill Row just up from Moorgate Station. It was a "mixed" hall, in more ways than one. One Saturday night the fire alarms went off and we had to evacuate the building. The head count was around...

There used to be a trainee nurses hostel in Bedford Square just next to you - but the least said about that the better :))

Where was that, I was at City 66 - 71 on a 'thin sandwich' Bought a couple of 38 sets still in waxed cartons from a dark cavern in Lisle Street. Had fun dragging them back to the digs in Highbury !!

Happy memories when a visit to Lisle Street in Soho during the 60s bought lasting 'pleasure'

When I was doing the intermediate exam in one of the questions I was convinced that none of the options were correct so simply guessed at the nearest. I said this to the online invigilator (done via Zoom) who managed to keep dead pan in his suggestion I took the matter up with RSGB. I...

The RSGB "Exam Secrets" booklet is good in that respect. It not only gives you the correct multi-choice answer but follows it with a paragraph explaining why it's the correct answer. Almost as good as a human tutor. Like many during lock-down I sat Foundation, Intermediate and Full. We might...

Post at least 3 clear photos, one looking into the connector end, to determine if it has 2 or more connections and the others showing both sides of the circuit board where you've been attempting to remove the power pole. You will also need a multimeter - a cheap one will suffice

yes - no - maybe yes - if you get polarity correct and there's no damage caused by your previous attempts and there are no control lines between laptop and power unit no - if you fail to comply with any of the above maybe - if the gods are feeling kind
