Just saw one of these yesterday in the George and Dragon Inn in West Wycombe...and yes the second hand does go backwards as do the minute and hour hands I imagine.

Kingfisher competing against itself...hard times indeed.

A safety system design would never take into account malicious interference, the cost of designing in any foreseeable manipulation of a system would be unacceptable. How do you stop someone jamming in a contactor or shorting it out with wires? Overriding a safety system like this is a...

It's TNC-S-C :D

I can't condone this but it happened once in the middle of a night shift... Get a disposable rubber glove and form a fuse from a piece of A4 paper. Fill the glove up with oxy/acetylene and then seal it off tightly with a rubber band, trapping the fuse in the wrist of the glove Now...

Breakfast like a king and dine like a pauper is a rule I remember. That way your body has a chance to convert the food you eat straight into energy rather than have to store it as fat. Exercise before eating means that your body has to take the energy it needs from your fat reserves. I...

Looks weird to me! I don't think you are sad...perverted maybe :wink:

Of course trees are good conductors, I use them all the time when I am short of copper wire. I would use people too but there are some ethical/moral issues with this :roll: Given enough voltage just about anything will conduct electricity.

match.com, excellent quality products :wink:

Mine is on a double switched socket too...with a 13A fuse...which I replaced with a 3A when I saw :shock:

I found "End of faith" by Sam Harris and "Breaking the spell" by Daniel Dennett to be much better in their tone and arguements, especially the latter. Incidentally, I found a piece of paper sticking out of a copy of The God Delusion in Waterstones. It said..."Damn you non believers you are...

Hi, I just tested a motor at work that someone bought in and it has a short circuited armature. Looking for a spare but prices are around £210-£300! which means it would be cheaper to buy a new machine. :roll: Does anywhere do repaired motors on the cheap?

I really enjoyed these, all of them came recommended and none of them would be something I would normally pick up off the shelf. Stuart, a life backwards http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stuart-Life-Backwards-Alexander-Masters/dp/0007200374/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240912899&sr=8-1 The time...

There are some useful posts in this thread, buying a rowing machine so that you can watch tv and exercise at the same time is a great one and works for me. Eating only 1000 calories a day however is totally a bad idea. The average human body needs 1200 calories a day just to keep warm and...

Anobium is correct, you have statutary rights which mean within the first year it is up to the shop where you brought the item to deal with replacements/refunds for faulty goods. Give trading standards a call or maybe try Aldi head office and inform them what the manager of your store has said.

I saw a small van with a sticker on the back... 'How's my driving?, call 0800-F**K *FF you T**T!" and they didn't use asterisks...nice.

Temperature sensor changed, normal service is resumed :wink:

Update. It's looking like an intermittent temp sensor, before it was reading fine but now it has gone open cct...unless this is just a coincidence, you never know! Should get a replacement in a day or so. Pump and gas pressure checked out OK.

It is cutting out on central heating too so I don't think it is just the HE since central heating has its own larger one. Some more info for you, sometimes when the central heating tries to come on the yellow ignition led lights for a fraction of a second but instead of the gas igniting the...

I can see the pin coming out and making the switch, also I have manually activated the switch and checked resistance with a multimeter. No flame lockout ever. According to the fault finding procedure which comes with the boiler it is looking like either incorrect gas pressure/gas valve...
