Yes you are right, can't imagine what's it's like having to leave your whole life and start again in another country (all assuming you can even get out safely in time) The cost of things now just reminds me of 20 years ago in my early 20s, I had just started driving but I was on a very low wage...

Food will get even worse as russia is halting fertilizer exports Not sure there is much I can do really to offset all this

What a idiot :rolleyes: I was connected to the broadband WAN port rather than the DSL port. Weirdly, I always assumed rj45 sockets were keyed differently so it never occured to me I might have done that :LOL: Broadband is ok although my line speed has dropped from 78Mbps (last year) to 38Mbps...

Hi all, I had a BT line installed way back last year (with PlusNet). I haven't had the modem connected for over 6 months as I've been doing all sorts of bits with the house. Connected it today but it wouldn't connect. Could the line have got disconnected after a while? It doesn't look like...

Hi, I've been told it may be the case that the local council Building Control will hold more detailed plans of my house. I have looked at what was submitted to planning online but there is only 1 document which is a floor plan drawing and front/side elevation drawings. Is Building Control...

Hi, Not sure if this is really for the electrical forum or this one, but in another thread quite a while ago I mentioned about possibly routing a cctv cable from my soffits to the knee wall. (Also I was curious if I could create some storage as well) Today I disconnected the double socket in...

Hats off to an expert level complainer. (y) Never had much luck myself, tried to do a car warranty claim once, but after 6 months of phone calls / emailing it was clear they were not giving in. I do tend to return stuff a lot more these days though, I returned quite a few things back to amazon...

I like watching the car restoration/repair programs when they are on when I'm cooking etc, especially the bits where the part isn't made anymore so they go to the one guy in the country that can make it, or the guys that are stiching upholstery by hand etc

There may some space between the supporting joists for the stairs and the stair treads I would have thought. Do you have a stud detector you could try on the ceiling in the cupboard? I am currently in the process running lots of cables for various stuff and have been using a combination of a...

It's just a loan though: "The Energy Bills Rebate will provide around 28 million households with an upfront discount on their bills worth £200. Energy suppliers will apply the discount to domestic electricity customers from October, with the Government meeting the costs. The discount will then...

They don't actually give us the caps on the actual rates which is what you actually need to know! Don't know why they do this, so annoying "The £1,971 per year level of the cap is based on a household with typical consumption on a dual electricity and gas bill paying by direct debit." "The...

That's a shame, I have an all digital wv-59 but was always tempted by the mechanical ones.

I always used to stop if someone was crossing the road or looked like they weren't paying attention. However, the problem is that every time I do this there is always the chance I will get rear-ended or something even more fatal will happen on the main road as drivers don't expect someone to...

Hi, I am going to connect my washing machine waste to a spigot under my sink. I am thinking about going behind the sink bowl and connecting to the spigot on the left in the picture. Is is ok that the spigot is not vertical? Unfortuately I can't use the one on the right in the picture...

"Long-term observations or follow-up data were not considered as outcomes in the meta-analysis, and neither were serious AEs" So didn't look at things like miscarriages, heart attacks, myocarditis, deaths - the things people are actually concerned about? And they pretty much confirmed what we...

I always assumed most switches on the market today provide the full throughput needed but it's worth checking anyway. I wonder if the reviewers were plugging in 100Mbps devices though? A lot of stuff around still only has 100Mbps ports (like TVs)

I did see the news story but didn't really want to ressurect the colston thread :whistle: The guy who did it obviously saw the news story and decided it was perfect timing to do what he did. Did he manage to do much damage to it though? From the video looks like he gave it a few bashes and...

Greedy Business: https://www.fairfueluk.com/PumpWatch.html What's worse is the standard unleaded is E10 so I am filling up with Super Unleaded which was £1.60 last fill up and still rising. :eek:

;) It is an Ideal Logic Combi Boiler - I am not at my house at the moment so will find out the exact model number tonight (y)

Hi all, I've had this issue on/off for about 5 months or so - it does not happen all the time and when it does it is only for a minute or so. Basically what happens is if the boiler hasn't been used for a day or so and I run some hot water the boiler will make this ungodly loud kettle noise...
