At the time (late 80's) I was told 'its in the regs'. Now, with me rewiring my typical 40's/50's semi just up from Longbridge in Brum. Technically, we couldn't have a socket in the kitchen! But it did stop me putting sockets in the bay window that contained the sink. At the time(?) it seemed...

Remember the "old rule" where if you had one hand in the sink full of water, you shouldn't be able to plug an appliance into a socket outlet with the other wet hand? And that is now recommended as 300mm from sink/drainer edge (and that's probably changed again since yesterday). Personally I...

Doh!! You not know that? Its £15.43 plus the 4000% to your local tory to keep their gob shut/ pay for their habit.

This may have been said before, but I jumped 2 pages. My golden rule is "never assume jack" even if the last fella in was better than I could ever be. To date, I'm still alive, well, I think I am!!

I'd love a Smart tv. Mine is as thick as a brick, still hooked into Eastenders/corrie etc. Mind you it does scream in pleasure when the six nations arrive!!

And you're surprised a posh boy got let off? We must be living in a different country/time zone/planet!

Would that be ekmdgrf in the middle?? Now if the pool was full of pure water I'd jump in. But chlorine, as a compound, loves electrickery. I'd also rather be sat at the poolside bar, but with a woman in hand, unless rum punch is a euphemism or "yoofernism" I've not heard!!

TBH. You pay your landlord. He supplies the amenities and makes money out of your rent. He should have paid a qualified person to fit it. Personally, with dropping a fan off and leaving you to sort it out he has: (a)Possibly put your life in danger if you haven't a clue what you are doing...

As a stalwart party member I thought I should release the chancellors thoughts to pre arm all you conservatives out there. IDS may throw a spanner in yet though so these aren't cast in stone although the stone masons have been busy and ten stones are already committed and have been given to the...

I know its not funny.... But..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I forgot to add in my tale of woe that it took me two hours (pre mobile days) to find the ex M-in-L. She'd got a bus to our house without telling me. I'm not sure what she thought was the fall out range of a domestic gas explosion...

Was asked to put up a curtain rail in kitchen of ex Ma-in-laws Woodrow house a few years back. Anyway, fully aware of how lord woodrow made his money on the quality of the house builds I took a wide range of fixings and my trusty sds along. First hole. Hit what must have been the only brick...

Just out of curiosity. Where was this picture nail being knocked in, in relation to any electrical sockets, switches etc.

Live & Neutral??

V. true, but not the post I was responding to!! (where's me specs??)

Can I take it that Greenbrook are not really up to the job in hand then? Any ideas on who else makes an RCD FCU that is 'pretty enough' to be installed in a house?

You may find your radio generates heat and your radiators start singing. Apart from that I see no problem :lol:

Wood floats. And lead sinks.

I'll not argue with you but it was "surplus to requirements" so I got it for silly pennies. That suited me as I was, well, experimenting.
