    Slimline 13A Plug

    Looking for one. I had one back in the 80s, Legrand, 1984, with unsheathed live pins. Had two screws securing the cover, rather than the usual one. From memory, it was around 18mm. I think they are well obsolete now, but is there another brand that is similarly svelte?

    Is This Some Kind Of Backdraught Shutter?

    I've just bought an Envirovent Silent 100T fan. As usual with modern stuff (I'm making myself sound a real old git now), the instructions are absolute pants. There's a piece of paper implying that you throw away two items attached to the fan (a cardboard insert at the back and a foam spacer...

    Weird Coincidences

    On the 11th, it was Mums birthday. She was born in December 1936. On that day we went swimming and I checked the counter on my watch twice. The first time I looked, it said 1112. The second time I looked, it said 1936. Weird! Anybody else had odd coincidences?

    Should We Be Worried?

    The British Government have approved Chinese plans to build their Embassy on the site of the old Royal Mint, very close to underground fibre optic cables carrying data galore. Or am I being paranoid? https://share.google/ZJWoW8T8rdiHumwaX

    A Blast From The Past

    Who remembers these? :sneaky: They weigh a ton! 3138g, in fact! Just brought one back from my Ma's. Middle lad helped me remove it a while back when we converted a run of 4 SELV down lighters to 230V LEDs. Built to last though. Still going strong, since installation in 1990. Only one lamp had...

    Is It Just Me, Or...

    ...Is anyone else finding "self-managed" mobile phone accounts (or any self-managed accounts) sometimes a pain in the backside? Sorry, it's a bit of a rant this one!
