    Fire in Brum

    There was a huge fire at a plastic recycling firm in Saltley Birmingham yesterday!  I could see it in Tipton when going to fetch the wife from work, which is easily over 10 miles away. Initially, I thought it was a lot closer until I saw the events on the news...

    Metal consumer unit ....your opinion after fitting.

    Hi guys,  Yes have fitted a couple of eaton consumer units from Denmans. I think they look ok, much better than the burnt out fusebox I replaced it with! Deke there are 20, 25 mm knockouts on the top and combined 32/40mm knockouts each end. The first board i had to return as one of the dual...

Because of this I have made sure that I was wearing gloves. Used it on two jobs so far. One job was...

    Theres Always Someone Worse Off ...........

    Pushing an adult in a wheelchair, carrying shopping bags and also trying to hold on to my young daughters hand is not easy. Also as Deke said when the person with a disability cant easily get out of the car and you need to get a wheelchair close to them for the transfer then thats when you...

    Theres Always Someone Worse Off ...........

    It was more of that guy looking at me then putting in the false limp act. Im sure we all get the feeling when someone is blagging it. I often get the same dirty look from the eldery Noz when i pull in a disabled space. Until they see me help the mrs get out of the car etc. But yes point taken...

    Theres Always Someone Worse Off ...........

    Sorry if i offended anyone on hear, but often i see people who blatantly blaghing the use of blue badges and disabled spaces. Most recently was the guy who parked next to me and as i got out to sort wifeys mobility scooter he put on the pretend limp. His limp soon disappeared when i saw him...
