    Rules

    Hint. hint. --- The most bizarre point of your ongoing rant (ongoing as in "for years", not just on this thread) is that you're convinced you're a victim in all this - you're not; it's you that brings this upon yourself.

    There's clearly no reasoning with you. I'm surprised so many of us persist in trying to do so. OK - I have better things to do this afternoon than play tit-for-tat with you, so enjoy the rest of your argument :roll:

    Goodness. Was there a specific reason / thread that caused he ban?

    workshop/shed power

    It doesn't seem likely that you'll be running both at the same time, so I can't see why you'd want them on different circuits. Just have your spark run a 13A ring.

    workshop/shed power

    Good to hear. In that case I apologise for suggesting otherwise!

    FWIW, I think moderator8 is a paragon of patience to let you get away with much of what you post, b-a-s. If it had been down to me then I'd have been handing out 30 day bans like sweeties :mrgreen: Your posts on the latest "power to a shed" thread have been excellent, measured, clearly...

    workshop/shed power

    Handful of points; 1. I paid £900 last year including them digging the trench so £750 doesn't seem unreasonable 2. Nice to see b-a-s' experience being put to productive use :) 3. Despite #2, I suspect that the OP fully intends to do all of this himself and that there is no electrician...

    home report and a smoky fusebox

    That's appalling that the home report assessor scored that as a one. Slightly off-topic, but perhaps helps to explain; we moved house 2.5 years ago and, as expected, got a copy of the seller's home report. When we decided to move forward, our mortgage broker said "You need to pay for a home...

    Power carseat from 240v

    Not 480 volts, but 480 watts, which is a measure of power (roughly volts * amps = power in watts). You could look at something like this http://www.dabs.com/products/evga-750w-supernova-gold-psu-9BJM.html?src=2 which supplies 12V at 62A which, for short bursts as you'll need it, should do...

    Welding socket needed for 17th edition board?

    It's a welder! So, apparently it does need DNO approval! Anyways :) no idea the answer to your question, but you could try on www.mig-welding.co.uk

    House Rewire and new consumer unit

    The OP is keen to do his own gas work, too; http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/would-welcome-help-with-boiler-fault.344877/#2579637 So if the electrics don't get him, the gas might. --- By the way, Bruce, the only question that I can see you asking in this thread is "what is so...

    Why does the forum forget what you've read?

    I missed a bit of important info. It's when I open a new browser and start to type "diyno...." and chrome autofills the address. If I leave it at "diynot.com/forums/" then most of the time (but not always) all is good. But if I start to type "diyno..." and chrome offers up...

    Why does the forum forget what you've read?

    An update - when I type a URL into the browser that refers to a specific sub-forum, such as; http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=8 It is much. much more likely to forget all of the read topics. I'd say that, for me (on Chrome), this is reproducible perhaps 75% of the time. So...

    Welding socket needed for 17th edition board?

    I think we're in danger of agreeing. I2ANAL, and I suspect it could be viewed as an unfair contract but, with very few exceptions, suppliers can choose who they want as a customer. So it's all moot - if a tenuous join-the-dots series of contracts (some signed by the consumer and some not)...

    Welding socket needed for 17th edition board?

    And therein lies the difficulty. I find it hard to imagine that an individual can be held to have agreed to a set of conditions and requirements that they have not explicitly been given a copy of and signed. That seems pretty shaky legal ground to me. Now, having said that, I do understand...

    Welding socket needed for 17th edition board?

    But do these forms, conditions, etc, not apply only when you are requesting a new or uprated circuit? Real life example (from my real life!) - I move into a 70s house, two years ago, and sign up with NPower for my electricity. I haven't gone and checked, but would whatever "sign here, here...

    Electric to Garden Shed

    Not sure why we still bother trying to communicate with b-a-s; we're not going to get through. And we know what happened when we inadvertently strayed down the road of remote syndrome-diagnosis, so I'm sure nobody wants to revisit that.
