Was thinking of going to sky but don't want a BT line, will never have any BT service ever again. Havn't found virgin too bad though, they do the 8-12/12-4/4-7 appointments which is good, better than a "whole day" off work. The V+ box is a little unstable but I gather they're about to...

Tried allsorts for long-life PIR floodlighting, evan 42w Biaxs which are about as powerfull as you can go before you're looking at monstrous industrial fittings. All failed with no ability to give the instant high illumination people want. just done a job where the 500w floods are on...

The nhs is useless? Well stop the presses!!! Hold the front page!!! No offence pal but there are people with serious medical conditions who are fobbed off by the nhs while they concentrate on politically driven distractive bullcarp, but if it's any consellation fat-free is highly likely...

Not surprising given some of the electrical work I've seen gas fitters do!

In theory, in practice it's quite hit and miss, I've had invoices on which the discount has been "forgotten", right up to the 98% on cable. Plus, they make it up on the spot often as not depending if they like you and how their days going. If I get an apprentice she'll be blond with big breasts.

I had a counter monkey in edmunsons charge me £3.95 each for 20w G4's once. "err think thats wrong mate" "no thats what the computer says" "well it's wrong" "no thats what it says. have a look." etc etc. :roll:

If the athletes that good he can cross and throw the torch back.

There's an interesting legal aspect when you go from "free advice from stranger on internet" to "paid for an advice service", should anything go wrong, from serious injury to broken parts... regardless of disclaimers... on the other hand, to add to whats said, if someone spent 30 minutes on a...

If they're all on a big computer desk, screw a couple of 6 way extensions to the back of the desk itself (most have those little keyholes on the back) Then when you want to wheel the desk out you have 1 plug to undo and the desk, computer & all it's cabling is self contained.

Heh, I'm totally with you, simplicity is normally best. Most customers prefer a 24hr mechanical timeclock with boost/adv controls when you point out it's simple to adjust vs. finding/reading/understanding the instructions and ask them if they really need 7 day functionality- most don't, when...

Yeah it kinda depends on the customer, sometimes you gotta roll with it, but they don't half flick your switches sometimes. "Dear mam, I've given this some thought and I'm now willing to come back and stick this curtain rail up for you" 8) :arrow: :shock:

By dealing with trade only they can cut their overheads by dealing with large volume customers who know what they want. I spent about £20k with rexels last year, pretty typical for one-man-band tradesman. We should be regarded as high-priority customers. Now I ain't being funny but if...

Unfortunately the multi-zone web-interface oh-la-la control system is now installed and the client will go bananas if told it's useless. What I want to know are the fix-options. The house is quite complex in that it encompasses low loss interior rooms through to a conservatory so heat demand...

"My apologies, there appears to be a mis-understanding- the curtain rail fell on my head as I closed the door. Although normally I'd have refixed this securely as a favour, due to time overrun and the lateness of the hour {and pressing family concerns} we had to leave." {possibly}

Thanks. That makes sense, so the zones have an on-demand hot supply. I'm pretty sure there's no buffer tank, unless the megaflow-type HW cylinder can perform double duty? What kinda size is the buffer tank BTW? Decent sized house, 5 bed, 4 receps, conservatory and bad heat loss through...

I thought marbo was made by crabtree? I might give this some thought, I've just about had it with with local tosspot wholesalers. No decent independent close to me:(

Safe zones apply to all walls. If it's plasterboard you can normally fish it through a series of small holes so minimal making good, rather than channel. another option is to use a bit of D-line trunking- semi circular, run above the skirting board + paint to match and it'll hardly show.

I ruddy hope not, but you're right in so far as the right-on PC pillocks need to decide what the BNP are- legal and rightfull or not. This quasi-position of them being a legal party but being openly discriminated against, and the sheer hypocrisy of the "association of black police" [if...

One of about 3 boxes... Worthless junk or potential gold? I suppose you could replace some of those old mcb's on a like-for-like "emergency" fix. But then they'll be in my garage when I'm miles away and in desperate need cos it's 6pm and mrs so-an-so's 30 year old dorman-smith 100A isolater...
