Some PIRs have a facility where if you quickly turn the power on and off, then they go into a permanently on mode. Has this happened ? If so, cut the power to the PIR, count to 100, and turn it on again - Then it might stay on for a minute or two then go back to working normally. Is it...

Ish, If the company's not going to budge then there possibly isn't much you can do about it. However, make sure you let everyone you know know about it and spread the word as far as you can - Even if one person buys their stuff elsewhere then it will cost them a lot more than they saved by...

Best thing about moving to Europe is that, generally, they don't have the stupid house prices we do, so (depending on when you bought in the UK) you could sell up over here and then buy a house outright over there with the equity. No mortgage, no having to work until Thursday lunchtime just to...

When I say 'slave', I mean that your intention is that both lights are on at the same time, and both are off at the same time. I think that light one is the last light in you lighting circuit, and that light two is simply parallel to that - The fault is exactly as per SecureSpark's last...

Aha - Is the second light some sort of 'slave' that comes on and off at the same time as the first light ? If so, it needs to be connected to the switched live of the first light - you seem to have it connected to the permanent live. Identify which red wire in the first light goes to the...

Where did you come from ? On the subject of emigration, Canada's pretty cool - Bit chilly in winter though !

Sorry if I'm reading this wrong - The two switches that you refer to, are they just two switches that happen to be on the same face plate ? If so, they are two independent switches, and so it is quite possible that you can bugger one without buggering the other. However, another thing to...

True, but you should never discount the potential missing of the obvious if you don't know what you're looking at. The spec on the label ain't no transformer spec......

You couldn't take a picture of the thing in your loft, could you ? Its not a pump, is it, that is somehow switched on/off by the shower rather than flow sensors ?

Speaking personally, I need someone to ring a bell at 11 o'clock and tell me to go home, seeing as I don't seem to be able to determine it for myself (short of running out of money).

3-storey aquarium.... http://www.thedeep.co.uk/ ......Britain's biggest, I think. Got sharks and everything.....

This is just typical of the PC madness taking over this country - Why don't the man trees have an officer to look after their needs. :wink:

Hull's great, so why has Channel 4 just named it Britain's Worst Place, and even declared it to be at least 100 miles from anywhere decent. Because their scoring criteria seems to involve how long it takes to travel to London, and how many Starbucks are in the area. What about The Deep. Or...

We need more of this sort of thing.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4133388.stm I would like to think they made their getaway on one of those train-truck things with the see-saw handles too....

Actually, if they were bombers, surely the best place for them would be on holiday with Tony, at Cliff's place. :wink:

My boiler is covered by British Gas's 3 Star Cover, and had its annual check last Monday. Since then, the auto-ignition has failed twice (for the first time ever, since I've been in the house), giving two mornings of cold water. I'm going to get them back to mend it, but like to know what...

Not the answer to your question, but I sanded the floors in a 1930's house once using an upright sander, and then painted a 4" chocolate-brown border around the edge of the room, and it looked pretty good, IMHO (very Art-Deco though, and maybe not suited to your house). I also had an 1880's...

Probably could have absorbed a fair bit of the blast himself without too many ill-effects.

20 minutes to go, so we'll soon know. I think they'll be OK - They're just being over-cautious seeing as the last one didn't go as well as it could. I see now that they're landing 1500 miles from where they thought they'd be going - Are Ryanair involved in routing shuttle flights at all ?

I'd gone to see the Marathon once, and during a wander about afterwards, my Brother and I were hanging about at the end of Downing Street (no gates then, but I think there were police posts to stop just anyone wandering down) - After about 10 minutes Norman Lamont came out and said Hello, before...
