Good to hear that from an actual human. AI summary is wrong (again), in a detailed, specific and convincing way!

How would you go about making a toaster go "ping" when the timer is up? I have a Dualit toaster which has a large empty space at the end where the controls are. There is a neon which is on whilst the timer is running, which could be tapped for power. Then when power goes away, actuate a bell...

Not sure it's the right time of year, plants need to be growing to take up the poison.

Could be anything. You will have to watch it whilst it's running to see where the water's leaking from.

You sure it's hot-only? Last time I looked at this, all the hot-fill dishwashers were actually hot or cold.

Openreach have been increasing prices for copper products to encourage the stragglers. https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2025/11/openreach-raises-prices-on-copper-lines-to-boost-uk-fibre-broadband-adoption.html

There was a specific product for this called "Fibre Voice Access" but Openreach dropped it as takeup was poor. https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2024/08/openreach-sets-uk-withdrawal-date-for-fibre-voice-access-product.html

Close. Ant-y arc chamber.

Unlikely. The point is that BT are trying to close ~80% of their exchange locations. An all-fibre access network will mean that they only need 1000 exchanges nationwide. Keeping exchanges open to serve a handful of copper users is wasteful. If you move the equipment that serves dialtone from the...

The user base for copper voice services is dying out. The cost per copper voice line is only going up, so everybody else will have to subsidise this.

Not quite nothing, see pcaouolte's post. They have to tell everybody to dial full numbers now. A dull, technical thing happening in the background is being spun as a wonderful new dawn for humanity!

Nonsense or otherwise, it makes it stand out from a million other very similar product listings, and you posted a link to it so turns out it's a good marketing strategy!

I reckon that photo shows a poster saying "Medical emergencies in the dental practice" with "<unreadable> NHS" next to that, so probably in the UK. Who knows if the OP will ever come back!

If the existing fixture is a standard size, then it's likely that drop-in replacements exist, which someone could suggest to the OP if we knew the dimensions. @ericmark see, someone appreciates you :D

Supply voltage. Electrical regulations. Standard/commonly available product dimensions.

Replies you get in forums are just advice. Nobody is paid to answer questions and you're not paying anyone for it either. Lurk for long enough and you will work out who's useful, who's a Walter Mitty, who's a waffler, who's an ivory tower/high-horse type, etc. You have to use your judgement at...

I had a newt tadpole in my pond within the last month. It has various deciduous trees overhanging it so I do as Munroast described.

I can't wait to read how it went when you tried to do it yourself.

Start by checking both registers on your meter and see if they both increment. You might need to do this several times a day at first to get an idea of what is normal.

I got a Sebo X4 Extra from charity shop for £30. Absolute bargain, solid build quality and almost all parts are available as spares. Yes, it's great at picking up cat hair.
