    Garage Feed from House

    Was there any point to this? If there was I've missed it.

    Garage Feed from House

    Don't bite, you're only giving whoever it is oxygen. The MO is somewhat reminiscent of neil from Essex. Well known for sitting under a bridge waiting for billy goats if you catch my drift.

    Whats with all the ********* dressed as "killer clowns"

    The way to cure these so called clowns is give them a taste of their own medicine. Lock them in a cell for a couple of hours with my missus when she's got her pancake on and curlers in. She looks a bit clownish but its deffo not funny.  Let them listen to her telling them about her day in...

    Wiring Diagram Barn / Workshop

    Chauvinism has nothing to do with it as far as l can see. It's more to do with dented pride and the inability to accept advice as advice and not criticism. If we were all omnipotent and omnificent threads like this wouldn't exist.

    Wiring Diagram Barn / Workshop

    From my many years of experience of being told by customers that they know far more about design and installation than I do I've formulated a plan. Other than that just walk away and don't look back.

    BBC1 DROSS!!!!!!!

    When l lived in Brum l did one of my neighbours a favour. I lent him my sds drill so he could fix a satellite dish on his house. His mate came and tuned it in. We ran a feed to my house and his brother bought me a decoder box when he visited his family in Yemen. I had Hotbird and Arabsat. A...

    heights of switches

    I've got a theory about this one. Socket height will continue to rise and switch height will continue to drop. Eventually everything will be installed at 1m from the floor. This is to facilitate wheelchair users. I'm convinced that by the time 18th edition amendment 3 comes around.... 80%...

    Weird methods of payment:

    I did a caravan hook up for a posh shepherds hut a couple of weeks ago. The customer told me if he paid for the materials and I didn't charge him for my time he'd do a deal. Me and the missus could have a free weekend in the hut. It's in a beautiful setting high on a hill overlooking Lyme Bay...

    Electrical Safety Register?

    You're more than likely right about that. The big shame is nobody ever tells the public about it.

     Engineering Industry Training Boards (EITB)

    I did 3 months at an EITB centre in Sheffield before I started doing electrics. I'd rather have done 3 months in Borstal. Toolmakers will never be out of work I was told. I didn't stay to find out. It was Grim, Punitive and Depressing to say the least.
