One rush hour morning i noticed a woman at a junction, chatting away on the mobile while making eyes at anyone who might let her into the flow of traffic. As a loyal gesture to the wife i resisted the urge and shuffled by. A short while later i took a rear shunt .( only slow speed ) I looked...

I have heard on several occasions, from different employees of the department of works and pensions, about the issuing of giros of FOUR GRAND to immigrants. These payments are not to set up house or to replace belongings left abroad, (thats another department), the giros are to pay for a A CAR...

Cheers very much, Im off to have a crack at it now. :)

Hello again, ...............are you around, Lectrician? Following last nights episode i have two pics of the light switches refered to in this topic that Lectrician requested.The problem is i cant figure out how to show these to anyone! Can someone please help ?

Thanks again friend for the patience, Ill sort these pics tomorrow. I dont know when ill get back in, but its first on my to do list! Hopefully catch up with you then.Ok?

Hi Breezer, I didnt want the double switch in the dinning room to control the kitchen light at all. (I dont know why it ever did!) I didnt realise changing the double would mean both lights would work together. My kitchen and dinning room are kind of one large area now and it seems silly to...

Hello, my problem is probably easy to sort but its got me baffled. Theres a single light switch in the kitchen,and a double in the dining room. Id like to swap the double for a single, but the wires are a puzzle to me. The double has two blocks with two terminals each on top and one each at...
