    Hop-up

    I want to get one - this sort of thing https://www.toolstation.com/werner-pro-work-platform/p14694 When I've used one in the past I've always had a little "don't step back, don't step back, don't step back..." going round in my head, so I did think of getting a deeper one like this...

    Immigration is falling

    Foreign doctors and nurses are increasingly shunning the NHS because anti-migrant rhetoric and rising racism have created “a hostile environment” overseas health professionals increasingly see the UK as an “unwelcoming, racist” country Foreign-born doctors and nurses were being put off by...

    Resin bound gravel path

    I want to have one installed. First - it's a garden path, not a driveway, foot traffic only, not even a lawnmower to be moved over it. About 1.1m wide, 13-14m long, dead straight, if any of that matters. Is it still a job for specialists, or can any competent landscaper who does paths and...

    Connecting built-in appliances

    What's generally regarded as best/favourite way? A "point" (be it socket or FCU) behind the appliance, i.e. no access to it without pulling the appliance out? (But why would you need access?) A point in/behind an adjacent (non appliance) cabinet? For either option, the point fixed to the wall...

    Continued BT support for analogue phones

    Does anybody here know whats going on with the analogue switch-off? It looks like what's happening now (relatively recently) is that an analogue service is being generated at the cabinet, and made available to customers over the "last mile" copper. So even if there's nothing but fibre between...

    2491B/6701B/BS6231/Tri-rated by the m.

    Anybody recommend any suppliers for the above, in 4&6mm sizes? There are sellers on eBay, but their prices seem a bit :oops: I know it's going to be more per m. than buying a 100m reel, but...

    Shared earth conductor

    Or cpc, as I believe it's more properly known. Any reason why one should not be shared by several circuits?

    The silence is deafening

    I can't believe that not one person here has been jumping up and down about this, and putting forward all sorts of suggestions on how to stop it happening again. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15266193/NHS-executive-raped-abused-girls-groomed-Snapchat-jailed-28-years.html Surely the...

    Worth a read

    The whole article is very much worth a read, but a few quotes: Maccabi attracts a fervid following of young men from the far right, who gather at weekends to chant racist and anti-Arab slogans. Maharan Radi, the Israeli international midfielder who after signing for the team was greeted with...

    Another 3D printing question

    I know that ATEOD what matters is what anybody I use to produce a custom 3D printed item thinks, but there's no point me looking for one of those if my whole idea is unworkable. I want a panel something like 100mm x 200mm x 2-3mm, probably black ABS, with rectangular apertures in it to take...

    Fuse characteristics

    Trying to get my head round this... If I'm reading it right (??), then, subject to a bit (not too much) of ± due to line thickness, and by-eye interpolation, this says that at 6A, a 3A fuse should blow after about 90ms - 10 minutes. But at 26A, a 13A fuse is between 4.5s and nearly half an...

    Junction box choice

    So I've removed a redundant spur cable from a ring main, and am left with the old skool round junction box under the floorboards now just joining the main circuit cable. I can't (without far too much moving furniture and lifting floors) get at the other ends of the cables to replace the run...

    Stanley knife-handle saw blades

    You used to be able to buy saw blades that would fit into a regular Stanley knife handle. (Although obv. not retract). Have the b******s stopped making them?

    Futurehome Smarthub, WeMo, & Nest Gen 1.

    What do all these have in common? The manufacturers have decided to make them stop working, or to only continue to work if you now pay a regular subscription fee which was not part of the deal when you bought the product...

    Masonry multitool blades

    Any good? Are some good-er than others? I've got to cut some holes for socket back boxes, into brick or deep-joy-breeze-block. I'll stitch drill and use a bolster and hammer to remove the bulk, but I'd like to trim the edges with a blade so as to (fingers crossed) avoid any making good to...
