    My daughter has asked me to replace this light with a security light with a P.I.R. My idea was to put a junction box where the fitting is, and put the new light above it. I'm sure there must a better way, would someone like to tell me it?

    Buying a house to leave empty as an investment.

    Has anybody ever bought a house to leave it empty? As I understand it, if it's unfurnished, there's no council tax to pay. I'm curious to know the ins and outs to see if would be worthwhile.

    COP26 irony

    Now that COP26 has kicked off and all the delegates are arriving at Edinburgh and Glasgow airports does it not seem a bit ironic that most of them are arriving in big empty airplanes?
