    Supplementary door locks.

    I'd also get the alarm working in the back too, get some ultrasonics added in the cargo area.

    Well that's a bit better then. I know for a fact this makes no difference but as long as the client is happy who am I to argue!

    Creda 8.5 shower

    Yep, I wouldn't even bother trying to repair that old cheap shower. Probably cost as much as replacing it anyway. Bang a T80 in, job done.

    Domestic wiring: is a power socket using power when "On"?

    It took you 3 1/2 months to think that up?

    Emergency Light problem

    Who knows? At one time of day I would have only fitted JSB (or rebranded versions) or Menvier. Nowadays though, your guess is as good as mine. I have fitted some from LED Hut, they seem to still work. The problem today is the trade off between cheap online, poor/difficult warranty or buy local...

    Light fitting makers in days of yore.

    I've got no idea either.

    Wiring a 3 terminal light from ceiling rose wires.

    2 minutes on Google, and/or simply taking note of what was wired to what in the first place and/or actually having half an idea what you are doing.

    madness this way lies

    This is whole thing is pointless nonsense anyway. As someone pointed out, diesel vehicles will most likely be in decline anyway as other technologies develop so this ruling is like banning new vehicles from being steam powered. Link trimming service activate...

    prepayment meter eating credit

    Don't get your own card, get a normal meter on a standard tariff. Ring up whoever the supplier is ASAP and book in to get rid before you end up spending all your money on it. I moved into a house with one and it cost a fortune in the time it took them to come out and change it. I was hardly even...

    Hi everyone

    Maybe the missus makes him do the washing up?

    That's pretty much it. It's not so much about having the latest all singing all dancing whizzy fast graphics but more about just taking the load off the main processor and memory. None of my PC's are a great spec, they are all dual core around 2-2.5Ghz with 4 or 8GB memory. They all have a...

    You can install whatever you want on the laptop. I have a couple of old Vista laptops, but because Vista is total garbage I have Windows 7 on them instead. Obviously when I say you can install whatever you want, I mean you can have installed whatever you like! Basically the desktop. Windows...

    sigh. This is pidgeon-poop. I get the sweary word replacer thing, but ffs at least use words that don't make the tango'd sentence complete tango'd Radishes. Certainly is.

    I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but as above, it's all the lettuced you don't want that is making your computer slow, not the age of it.

    NEW SBS WEBSITE

    Yeah, was my first reaction too. I take it you are doing this yourself with the 1&1 website builder? Let me know if you need any help (as in, I can get you a proper site). I can also add in some B2B ordering system, makes it easier than printing out order forms and the like. I have a few...

    DPC - Please comment on the BSI site.

    I'm self employed, and have been for over 18 years. Depends on how you define "regular".

    DPC - Please comment on the BSI site.

    I think most just don't care, they aren't listened to and no-one really checks to see if they are following them anyway. That's my stance anyway. I got a phone call today, "you haven't re-registered with the scheme this year". Paraphrased my response was "I CBA but I should as I still have...

    TBF I've always said we should be doing this anyway, but I'm not sure why now. Does this mean though that we should treat everything as TT? Can we have submains with no RCD's?
