    Make sure you pay your subbies

    Thanks , I'd heard about this but hadn't seen it. Im guessing they are looking for an e stop?

    What's this about?

    Build your own... It is still illegal to have solar power in some counties.

    The girl from ISIS

    This came up on the radio earlier...essentially this girl is a traitor and should be treated as such.  But snowflake says no, she is a victim and must be Molly coddled by the state till she goes rogue and blows up a shopping centre (if there are any left) and then there will be an enquiry...

    The girl from ISIS

    What's this about?

    Can't find any official information but a tesla may take up to 30hrs to fully charge from a 13a socket.

    What's this about?

    I think that is what I was getting at... You will pay at the pump, or plug or whatever but if you charge at home they wouldn't be able to charge a duty.

    What's this about?

    Taxes? Once we've burnt all the dino juice everyone will have found £15-£100k down the back of the sofa for an electric car. So they have to recoup the losses from the lack of demmand for dead stegasaurus, perhaps this is a way of verifying mileages with the help of your smart meter?

    Security light wiring

    As it is sold in the UK I would expect a terminal with brown, green / yellow and blue wires connected to it. Any internal wiring may be different colours depending on the functionality. Perhaps you have gone in too deep? The wires from the wall may only be switched so it may only work when the...

    Where did you get the light from?  Shrimp is not a brand I recognise.

    Surge protection, SPDs and LiVE products

    Trouble is... there is no central union anymore. There are fractured groups fighting various enemys but no one wants to work together. Without a central group, the likes of the IET / NIC / JIB can do whatever they like as they have been doing for the last 10 years. Like Murdoch If I found...

    Surge protection, SPDs and LiVE products

    Thought SPD's were decided upon by a risk assessment? Do you have expensive computer equipment?  - No. Do you live in an area where lightning strikes are common? - No. Do you need an SPD? - No. Job done?

    Copper Price / Copper Prices / Scrap Values

    London. I was told the price should have been better but after speaking to others it seems about average right now.

    Stairlifts

    This fella can't help.... In all honesty it is probably best to get the company that installed it out, I know they are expensive if out of warranty but probably cheaper than a funeral.

    Sockets in a garage

    ???  Getting a consumer unit? Where from? Who is going to install it?  You can spur off the ring at the consumer unit for just one double socket. 4mm radial on a 20a breaker should do it. Don't worry too much about the next person.

    The girl from ISIS

    I like governments stance switching to follow popular opinion, with Mayor Kahn saying there will be prosecutions, although he could not state what... Let's face it, she's a treasure trove of information for the likes of MI5 and will probably never live a normal life again.

    The M6 Toll Road

    Clearly it is designed for this fella and his chums...

    How many cables can you fit in a JB

    Am using wago top jobs to build lighting control panels, they are pretty good once you get over how tight the springs are.

    How many cables can you fit in a JB

    Think it was @steptoe . TBH, probably the best way to do it.

    Lighting in garage

    Just get it done. Whack up a couple of 5ft fitting and see how it goes?  What could possibly go wrong?
