    Extension cables and BS1363

    I don't believe it has changed. WRT that image, there are also Mini Logic sockets, but I never tried putting a plug in upside down in those, they won't open, anyhow.

    Replacing 2 gang light switch

    Unless the wall is peculiarly shallow, you should be able to take out the existing dry lining box and replace it with a deeper one. How deep is the switch from the back of the plate?

    Junction box and outdoor festival lights

    If it doesn't come from the CU, then you could put a suitable Quinetic wireless switch receiver on the end of the SWA, wiring a socket to the output. Then fix your wireless Quinetic switch inside wherever you want, assuming there are no pipes or cables in the way. If the kit won't fit in the...

    ICE told to get the eff out

    The story gets weird now. ICE told her to move her car. She started moving her car. Then ICE jumped in front of her car. The agent did not get run over, see link at the bottom. The agent fatally shot the driver. So, the whole incident was manufactured, set up then, wasn't it? Meanwhile...

    ICE told to get the eff out

    Yeah, it wasn't that though, was it? She was told to move her car. She was moving it. Then a gun appears. Flight kicked in. She panicked. She wanted to get away from from the guy with the gun. But she was very unlucky to have been approached by the agent who had been involved in a traffic...

    ICE told to get the eff out

    ICE told to get the eff out

    Pendant Lamp holder in upstairs toilet.

    Back in the days of the 14th and 15th Edition (1966-1991), the rules were to use a fitting with a Home Office skirt (a flared shade ring like the one on a batten holder) in a bathroom. Or to use an enclosed fitting. But there are no restrictions re the regulations in a room with just a toilet...
