I have a Mountfield Princess with a lead that goes direct into the machine. It has failed where the copper has broken inside the flex. You know the score, you waggle the flex in a certain position and the mower fires up. This plus damage to the flex in several places means I have got a new...

I know a lot of people who have made off-road parking spaces without applying to the council for a dropped kerb. Two of these have placed blocks to make it easier to get up the kerb. Many of these are on a cul-de-sac where street parking is really limited and for that reason, the council limits...

No, not the light fittings. Not even the fused connection unit. But the two gang light switch??!! That's a first for me.

Is anyone else peed off about these? Tesco used to be OK. You got your vouchers in the post. Sainsbury's have a really odd system where I could only get dribs and drabs, not the whole amount earned. I go in today and get told I have to ring them as you can't ask for a discount at the till...

Decided to replace the dry lining boxes after having the HS&L skimmed with metal back boxes. I know they're fairly new, but I've managed to go my whole career without using them. In your humble opinions, which are best?

I had a last minute request from Mrs S to put a socket in the dining room. The dining room has a laminate floor, so I had to take a spur from the hall socket then run the cable through the hall wall back to back with the site of the new socket. So, I put a single box in the hall wall where the...

Think I've mentioned on here before about this, but it's getting worse... Which? magazine held an investigation into it and found that some students cannot buy products at lower prices because they are not eligible to apply for a card at their age. It used to be that the "savings" were modest...

This is our hero cat. We were offered him at 10 weeks and, because someone had promised to pick up his brother and repeatedly failed, we were offered him too. The other day, I did a really stupid thing. An absolutely absent-minded, but nevertheless, really stupid thing. I made myself egg on...

Put a question to Argos regarding the Hisense A6QTUK vs E6QTUK as to what differences there are between them. Get the response, I have asked our supplier and there is no difference. In which case, why? Why do Argos sell 2 TVs exactly the same with different model numbers, but more...

I have a mirror cabinet in the bathroom that has two 18W fluorescent fittings in. One by one they died, so I want to swap them out. The actual gear has died, so I'll be taking the fittings out and sourcing LED fittings of a suitable length to replace them. But what would be the equivalent in...

Just been to the Post Office to send a 60g package in a jiffy bag. Said I needed it there fairly quickly. She said "I can do next day?" I said "How much is that?" "9.25." "And it gets there in the morning?" She actually laughed. "No. If you want it there in the morning, it will cost..." Get...

https://share.google/ZIPTDHJNKhKes5hLn I think there's only two ways to sort this out. Don't serve alcohol on planes. Breathalyse every passenger at the gate. UK passport holders who are over the UK drink drive limit get refused boarding with no refund, or the airline sets the limit.

Is he being selective?

We don't wire lighting circuits in 0.75 flex.,.

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?
