Tell all that to the relatives of the UK's most high profile vax death - that of Lisa Shaw. She was a BBC regional radio presenter in the north of England and strongly pro vax and encouraged others via her radio program to have the vax. Aged 44 she lined up when it was her turn to have the...

Not really as you say and nor has much changed in my own stance on the virus and the vax. and that is: I've had the virus twice and apart from a positive test and a strange dry cough with no associated sore throat it has zero effect on me at all. As a result knowing that the virus is a non...

Absolutely -stick it on Youtube and it would act as an "incentive" to the rest. ISIS did this during their expansion. They announced all captured adversaries would be beheaded. The result was rather than wait/fight it out and then surrender and be exterminated, the incentive was to abandon the...

Indeed: Lower £ means our exports get cheaper while imports get more expensive. So our exports improve while the incentive to import stuff reduces as they get more and more expensive. This overall is often better for our economy - at the expense of other economies. This is why countries go for...

Because the service is worse I've used the same phone on an MVNO and also on the parent network company in the same location and the 4G service on the parent company is far better. I reckon the MVNO's concept works on the basis of the network selling idle/low usage time to the MVNO cheap who...

One of the UK Citizens Aidan Aslin has an "interesting" history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiden_Aslin I think you'd be hard pressed to describe him as anything other than a professional mercenary

Yup seen it as per the above on timer run-on bathroom and kitchen fans where the CPC earth is used as the switched live. This was on a house all wired up by professional electricians as a new build in 1990. At least the bare cpc was wrapped in red insulation tape at the terminations...

My suggestion is to try and find on ebay the final old version of Intuit Quicken XG2004 being the last one they produced for the UK before they withdrew from the UK market. I still use mine on a daily basis. I do enter up all the transactions manually and don't try and use any download...

Because as I replied on a similar thread a week back my mains water pressure is so low that upstairs in the house the pressure/flow at the hot tap from my gravity fed vented hot water system with cylinder plus tank in the roof is MORE than the pressure/flow at the cold water tap fed directly...

I'd suggest that its a bottle or other type of trap in the paving with the grating to collect water from the alleyway and should be totally clear of anything within it: - though it will get filled with sludge every now and then and will need to be cleaned - and I guess it is now full of sh*t...

This is nothing! I knew of a house where an extension had been done umpteen decades ago The "builders" clearly found the manhole in the yard under where the extension was to go... so simply covered the whole lot over in concrete and built the extension on top. So the sealed over manhole was now...

To be honest I wouldn't bother - just make a VERY careful note with measurements exactly where it is. Given that the regs say that the water pipe should be a absolute minimum of 750mm down in the ground this means than to reach it the next person is going to have to dig round it to physically...

Well, yes: if you leave a section of narrow lead pipe in then this will limit the flow so regardless of what large size the rest of the pipework is then quite possibly the short section of lead will be the limiting factor as to what flow rate will come out at the house depending on the length of...

As I understand it.... Only plumbers approved/registered by the local water company can dig in the public street to connect to the stop valve/water meter in the street you cannot (legally!) do it. Depending on the age of the original pipe to your house in the street it might be lead, or quite...

OK I'm rural not urban and have indirect hot water system from the old style tank in roof and vented hot water cylinder. In the upstairs the pressure from the tank fed hot water is better than the blinking pressure from the cold fed from the mains! Every now and then the local reservoir...

Old imperial size house wiring cable was tinned copper.

When flying you set your altimeter for one of three settings Height over the ground you took off from so it reads zero on your home airfield when on the ground known as a local QFE setting Height over mean sea level for the area known as a QNH setting - so you are given the pressure setting for...

Failing or near failing switched mode power supplies are notorious for mucking up stuff as they broadcast "noise" Sadly these days instead of transformers virtually all wall-wart type power supplies for mobiles, routers, etc are of switched mode types

Yup , I've seen it also in large houses - I suppose it might be cheaper to have two domestic grade boilers rather than one large commercial grade one. The house I live in had two gas boilers decades ago The large heating boiler in the utility room and the smaller hot water boiler in the linen...
