Went for a stroll in Higher Poynton. Had some lunch in the Boar's Head

Yes, she described it as an MCB, but thinking about it, that was unlikely. I think it was more than probably over-current or short circuit as the 3A fuse went simultaneously.

So, a quick continuity test between live in, live out and neutral in, neutral out then.

I'm here at the moment and I've just taken a picture.

Had a lovely meal at our local Chinese with a hint of 5 spice last week and it inspired me to make a couple of home made versions. The first one used up a pile of cauliflower greens that I shredded finely and the second used up a load of sprouts and a bit of broc we hadn't cooked from Christmas...

Just rediscovered Scott's Porage Oats. Used to eat them in the 80s but moved to own brands. Seen some in Farm Foods and thought I'd try then again. Very damn good. Will be buying them again.

My electronics from college is rusty. From memory the mains filter on that machine is a "noise" filter. If they fail, does that prevent "pass-through"? If so, a quick check for voltage on the outgoing terms should show one way or the other.

Thanks, Harry. Looking at it like that, I will dismantle it, remove the suspected part and examine it to see if it shows signs of distress. The only thing stopping me is that if I buy the replacement part, replace it and it still doesn't work, then, I'll be dang annoyed. OTOH, I can't really...

Some too far from a main? And now, new homes are being built without gas, aren't they?

It's 9 years old and just had a rough estimate from a repair guy who is pretty certain it is the power module. He has quoted £230. 50% rule and all that, would you bin it? Seems a shame, but then it's not a spring chicken any more. Having said that, it's half the age of its predecessor.

The place we hired on holiday in 1974 near Padstow didn't have any electricity... Have you got it now?

This must be about 10 years old now. Went to put it on one day and it was dead. Checked the socket, fuse and lead continuity, as it was squashed where it was pushed back. They are all fine, so it's not a simple supply issue. Any ideas, before I call someone?

:ROFLMAO:

We moved from Santander to First Direct a good few years ago, maybe 10 even. They effed up the transfer of Mrs S's life insurance, so of course the payments stopped and everything was lost. First Direct: Shrug...

Spuds in JS were really cheap before Christmas. I picked up a bag for 12p.

Went swimming today. Without my lad. It's still not a euphemism... The phone box has been ripped out. Can't see there being many left now. In urban areas, anyway.

The lock arrived today. Fitted like a glove. I now have a lockable box on the back of my scooter. And diy fun, you're right. We might fight like cat and dog, but when someone needs help, it's there. Thank you everybody, for your help.

But it's all OK because some chum will get their pockets lined with lots of lovely lolly!

I wasn't there, but it was labelled boiler, and the bungalow was rewired when they moved in, so I think it will be a dedicated circuit. My guess would be a 6 or 16A type B.

Ah, didn't ask. I'll find out.
