Don't know if this one's been on before, but here goes... It's a new teachers first day at a school in Southampton. To break the ice she asks the kids who support Saints. Every kid in the class except Johnny put their hands up. "So who do you support then Johnny?" He replies "I'm a Portsmouth...

Think I will spend the next six months keeping my neck well wound in :? But at the same time wish to thank you for enlightenment to the vatican cause :oops:

I am a new poster here mate so don't really qualify to answer questions, but maybe you might get your answer from a "Joinery" or "Woodwork" Forum. Best of luck.

O.K Mate I Am Sorry if I have inadvertanly misunderstood the thread of this post. :oops: Just read the end of it all and got carried away. And between you and me it is a nice flag.

And if it is such a huge problem that effects the Vatican perhaps they could sell their billions of pounds/dollars worth of priceless art hidden in the cellars to aid the cause

With all due respect to everyone who has posted on this subject, does the fact that you have gipsy blood in you veins mean you are any less british? I am quarter romany but can trace my TRUE english ancestry back to 1544A.D. I don't agree with people who are trying to gain access to this...

69% Chav, dear god, please help me. I have just thrown all the bling in the bin!!!

Hi Tom, Happy Holiday Season to you too. But whatever you do, please don't mention outside Christmas Lights (see earlier post) :)

Thanks to all for advice. I think I was guilty of wording my original question incorrectly. But you have all wisely seen that what i was probably asking was more about the availability/ reliability of calling out the REC. Everyones comments have really helped. Thanks again guys.

Don't know if this helps Handyman, but quite useful and easy-to-read info can be found at the websites of NICEIC/ IEE/ BRE/ Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Sorry, but don't know yet how to post links to these websites. Hope this is of help.

Thanks guys for your time and help.

Here is one I have asked lecturers and sparks many times and never received a totally satisfactory answer. please give suggestions. When installing a new C/U, what is the best way to get around the Suppliers Fuse issue. Answers I have received seem to fall into several categories. A) Break...

I still think its ironic that the harmonized colours came in on April Fools Day. And how come we still have not seen that army of 10,000 "Dukes." :lol: Andrew, I don't think they still make the old colours, but couldn't swear to that. Where I work we are getting old and new depending on who...

what about us atheists? what if the lights offend the god i dont believe in? :)

SwindonSpark and PlugWash, thank you guys for clearing all this up for me. It was pretty much as I thought it to be, but I now see where my element of confusion came in. On-Site Guide, App 1, Table 1b, lists all the applicable Allowances for Diversity, but there is a little add-on at the bottom...

Got a copy of both, SwindonSpark. Why, have I missed something obvious that is staring me in the face.

I have read the other comments on consumer units/ overloading / maximum demand etc, but am still not 100% certain what it all amounts to. It seems to me the Regs say diversity cannot be applied at a C/U, but the NICEIC say a certain ammount of diversity can be applied. I appreciate there are no...
