    Telemarketing....get your own back!

    The TPS is only for UK based companies that get their numbers for "lists" or the phone book and therefore doesn't stop whoever in Dehli from trying it on. However the worst part is that it doesnt stop UK companies who use powerdialers to generate random phone numbers, often they may dial 100...

    Meter siteing and cable routing

    Thanks stardelta. Back to the routing. If we can get supply before the internal studwork is put up, what would the preferred routing be assuming the meter is inside (the only downside to this is that the meter reader would need access unless there are other reasons I can't thnk of)...

    Meter siteing and cable routing

    Possibly, but looking at the plans the best place for the CU was in a cupboard in the hall which is actually closest to the front side of the barn where we don't want a meter box. If it is a daft idea to do what we first thought of well the CU will have to be in a bedroom.

    Meter siteing and cable routing

    Sorry I know what the concentric cable looks like but assumed (wrongly) that it was lumped in with the title "SWA" Regarding the routing of the supply, the cladding wont be fitted prior to the installatin of the supply cable so if the hole for the meter box was made and fitted with a 2"...

    Meter siteing and cable routing

    We are converting a barn and the new supply will be installed by the REC sometime in the next couple of months, but we are wanting to think about where the CU will be and where cables can run. Are there any regs about routing the supply into a building? It makes sense to have the meter box...

    Missing fingers incident.

    I still remember my aunt, a 65 yr old tough old bird who lives alone on a farm in NZ. I don't know why she did it, but was cutting ply with a circular saw and some how put her hand underneath the ply whilst cutting and took off 2 1/2 fingers, but more than this picked them up went back to the...

    Food colouring/digestive system

    I remember a drinking game at college that part of the game was to drink so quickly that you ended throwing up quite spectacularly. On one event I remember a couple of guys drank food colouring before starting. The resulting red and blue vomit was quite weird to see!!!. Oh misspent youth.
