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...

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...

(Re-arrange to form a well known saying) https://www.visaverge.com/news/trump-burger-closes-after-ice-arrest-texas-locations-shut-down/

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

I recently got a digital caliper gauge, and I thought is that it for ever using my analogue one ever again? And I wondered if being able to read a Vernier scale is now a dying, soon to be extinct, skill, in the same way that using a slide rule became? 40-60 years ago "people like me" could use...

Am I being excessively cynical or paranoid, or is this maybe not the safest garden tool on the market? https://couameder.com/products/16070242222023135797413575

Could anybody who knows look at the light grilles here https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/product-not-performing-as-required-bricklights.646826/ and say if they think replacements could be printed?

I need to buy a right-angle drill adapter. Not SDS, and I don't have a quick-release chuck system, so I'm looking for the sort with a hex shaft and a keyless chuck on the other. I can find any number of "makes" and sellers flogging this: which looks exactly like the one I have, and it's a...

I want to install an 8-module Euromodule plate like this: But I can't find a suitable back box. I dread to think what a PITA it would be to have to install two separate ones and ensure that they were perfectly spaced and aligned. Do double ones exist? The photo is of a BG product - I have...
