Sorry, don't know the the revelation, too new for me! a Normal telephone is usually less than 1000 ohms, so a resitive loop of less than that will simulate a telephone loop, BT might still see this a fault though! but I don't think they have the resource to be bothered anymore? pp.

BT used to provide a busying out service,they had a sliding switch, that put a resistive loop across the last line, and this operated a relay in the exchange that busied out all/some the others. All you need to do is put a short cct across lines you don't need to ring ie. tmls 2+5 , this...

Hi fingertight, I had similar probs last year..You need to know how much lecky/gas you are using each day/week.I was first sent a letter telling me that they were going to raise my monthly direct debit fro £38 per month to £50 per month on the Lecky.I rang them up, and after a long...

Hi Confusious, Yes you can just tee it in to the circuit, provided that the cable is one after the main nte5 socket, ie NOT the incoming line.and all sockets are wired the same. PP

The non motorist still has to pay for food deliveries, etc, They choose not to be a motorist, so dont pay directly into fuel, Should they pay more bus/train fares? What if we made all buses/ rail journeys free,would more people become non-motorists......Where would the government get their...

yes, they are daisy chained in paralell, or star fed, disconnecting a wire will just make dead any sockets down the line. If a cable is left, and gets damp, this could cause faults to the main line, needing BT to come out and they will charge, so dissconnect all unused wiring

What do you call fair? make high earners pay more tax? Its just easier for them to pay it on fuel, Lets face it there is nothing you can tax that will not cause outcry amongst those selfish people who want all, but to pay nothing. If its not on fuel, it will be on fags, beer, wine, spirits...

People dont like paying out for anything. Was I the only one who thought the poll tax was ok? It meant everyone paid their bit, but the people who never paid at all didn't want to pay anything but still wanted council facilities, ie bins emptied, libraries etc, I pay income tax, and proud...

Hi Thermo, you should find where it is coming from, as a short cct, or a leak to earth in the cable will cause all sorts of problems. It must come from another socket or connection point, just disconect wires and see if it goes dead. unless it is really old stuff, disconnecting will only cause...

Steven Segal is the most wooden i've seen, that film "Under Seige"is so funny, its usually on at least once a month, got to watch it to see the girl from Baywatch jump out of the cake without her kit on........ :shock:

you are right Bolo, the lager at the end was an unexpected bonus! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops:

Craft supplies are in Derbyshire, I have had good service from their wood store, I think they have just moved, try googling craftsupplies. regards PP

Hi Joe, If you want them to last a few years, you should dig down about 6 inches at least and put a concrete raft in, a good foundation, level, to build up from.otherwise the tarmac will sag, and if on a slope will move and crack the brickwork.

Check out Marley Wessex tiles spec. I had my garage roof done 6 months ago, and I think they say 18 degrees min.

It all true.. why do old women always say "im'e 84 You, no know, I don't look it" .....no they look 104,, Worked in pubs , offered nowt, even though the job was costing them nothing. Never refuse an offer , you won't get asked again. All been said, my general rule is the richer they are the...

Hi weirdfish Put yourself in a buyers position, they will assume the worst and try to get a reduction in the price. A surveyor will try not commit themselves and try and justify their costs, by getting a reduction. If you are sure there is a properly fitted lintel, then it just needs...

Hi Basecoat, good luck with your lecky, I had similar problem a couple of years ago, took a meter reading every week. I bought a power monitor, (aldi are selling them now for £6.99), tried it on all my appliances, and found that the Freezer which we had had for about 25 years was using about...

just rememberd the board we used to use years ago was called Blockboard, this was a sandwich of wood and plywood, with the grain going in different directions to give strength. Nowadays mdf seem to be what is mostly supplied, cant say I have used that much. pp

hi Guys, thanks for the replies, I am getting it from a retired farmer in Cumbria whos wife passed away, I doubt if he knows how to dismantle it , 100 miles on a scooter, will need recharge stops every 25 miles, would think pubs on route.....mmm ..maybe a couple of hours to recharge...

Hi, I would fix a plywood board to the wall, fixed to to the stud work, which are probably 3x2 , locating them might be a problem, but you seem to know where they are,they should only be about 18 inches apart at most, in which case you should get al least 3 anchor points. it might not look too...
