    Anyone else think this is a daft CU configuration?

    Anyone else think this is a daft CU configuration?

However there is an on-site live in manager and meals are provided in a communal dining room if they want to join in, all run by a charity. It was a...

    In my day we used proper saddles

    Proper job, both of them. You’d need a respirator and welding gauntlets to use the lead ones now! Tricky to pick up the pins and hold them between your teeth though Locked to prevent being resurrected (again)

    New cable
