    Earth clamp

    That looks like the biggest problem that I see to, 20 per pack at 6 quid a pack but that nets down to 30p per clamp and it looks like it will save you guys a fair bit of installation time.

    Earth clamp

    That looks a cracking idea. You would guess they would be cheaper than normal given that they are plastic.

    future business

    Guys like that are very difficult to get out of once they owe you money, always 'just do this and I'll sort you out for what I owe you'. Unfortunately the more you do for them the more they tend to owe you!! This is the right time to set the ground rules IMO. If he cant sort you out for what...

    You can buy Aico smoke alarms online here. They have been very popular for us although the Firex remains the volume seller. The Firex alternative here

    Fitzgerald lighting

    I cant quite go back that far but certainly Fitzys were there at the beginning when I started wholesaling in 92. I'd like to know what caused them to finally go as it seems very early to go bust in the current economic problems. We have still got quite a bit of stock left but it looks like we...

    what do you use?

    2 keys, one to start the car and let it warm up and the other to lock it again. A kettle to make a cup of tea and sit down for another ten minutes :)

    Isolator and/or HBC?

    What about the Click DB750 80a switchfuse, its small and compact, manufactured by Scolmore and very similiar in dimensions to the MEM 800 KMF 80a switchfuse.

    Fitzgerald lighting

    Yes, very sad to see them go, we have been selling them for 16 years. I can only guess the bank pulled the plug on any finance arrangement. We are going to have to change over to Thorn now.

    Cable Sizes

    The only thing I would add is that cable is due to keep falling in price due to the price of metals including copper at a low at the moment.

    Eyeball replacement.

    I am restricted in what I can offer due to the cut out size of 115mm. Most recessed LV/GU10 or low energy are smaller. We do offer a LV retrofit for the R63 from Aurora You will need a transformer plus a firehood if a fire barrier is to be maintained.

    We are busy, most of the lads are still busy on pre-christmas stuff but we dont get more than a few weeks notice of orders so I couldnt say what next year will be like. I must admit to being concerned for April May time when heating and lighting work runs out. I hope you guys find work that...

    Woolworths Stores Enter Administration, Risking U.K. Jobs

    It sounds like they will get bought out. The chap off of Dragons Den, Theo Phaphphaphaphapha (I am a good speller :) ), was mentioning the strong brand name which makes sense to me.
