    check mobile phone signal strength

    Do you have a fixed place of work. If you do, check that postcode out before making your decision, or you could wind up having no mast for miles when at work - if you're really sad you can try out your folks postcodes etc. too, after all how much do you need a mobile when at home?

    17th Edition RCD Protection

    The new "17th edition" boards have two banks of RCD protected MCBs, the idea being that for every socket / ancillary circuit the lighting circuit for the same area will be protected by the opposite one - good for big properties with the now commonplace everything split across floors, however in...
