    Ten things unheard of when I grew up .

    Thanks Tony, its nice to know that someone 'gets' Me, I have Aspergers Syndrome (found out about in 1944) so I have only a few acquaintances outside of this forum. Its a lot easier for Me to speak to you guys and girls than what it is for Me to chat face to face. I almost had a melt down at a...

    They do Mr Evans, you can use a kit thats either battery powered (I think) and one that runs from the existing door bell wiring. Andy Guinness

    Anyone else just watched WW1 film on BBC2 ?

    Apparently Peter Jackson's grandfather, who was posted in Italy during WW1, struck up a friendship with none other than J.R.R. Tolkien, from what I have heard. Andy Guinness

    Trying to find suitable LED dimmer switches

    I have read on the Varilight website that most LED dimmers need to be programmed, could this solve your issue? I could be totally wrong.  :innocent Andy Guinness

    How much might a new consumer unit cost me?

    Depending on where in London (Congestion Zone) you are or not, you would be looking at £60 - £80 alone, never mind other overheads. Andy Guinness

    The LWEOPC brigade in the news again .

    Are we really cheapening ourselves THAT much?

    Thanks all, I know the house intimately, especially the electrics, I know whats wrong (which isnt much that can be noted on an EICR). Its the sort of house that I would strip everything back to bare walls and start again. In the 'new' house, a 1902 build, there are even more fun and games. Andy...

    I know my place !

    My dad started as a domestic sparky, motto was 'There isnt a road in Southall that I havent rewired a house on'. I went to what you guys know as a comp, went to college to do an IT course, got bored with that then went to a day college to learn My electrics, that was an experience. Andy Guinness

    RCD in consumer unit keeps popping, replaced with new one, still same issue

    You need to employ a competent electrician, you have already potentially wasted money by buying a new RCD when one may not actually be the solution to your problem, any idea of the age of the wiring that that RCD protects? Andy Guinness
