I don't know how these things work  TBH  , I think my phone is  hooked into Google  ,   constant annoying news items  now appear every day . Just opened my phone , its an android whatever that means ,  thought it was from Star Wars .  Theres a Google strip  that is showing ....Nigella...

:Salute  To Tony . 

Run some basic tests and if OK  ,    check Ze  etc ,   1980s so bonding should be there ,   replace the CU  as asked .        You will be improving the install  with MCBs  & RCDs  for a start .     40 yr old wiring   ( 1980s) would normally be in good condition . I'd think . 

On local radio today ........  the lady  presenter says she had a conversation with her husband about  needing more room in the house ,  husband suggests the only answer is to fit some boarding in the loft  for storage . Later in the day he finds adverts on his phone for loft decking  have...

In the past I worked for many firms after coming on the tools  some good , some bad .    With a firm once on a Gulf Oil storage  depot ......   basically  giant tanks of petrol  & tankers in & out for deliveries.      The firm's  onsite supervisor was a tosser ,   loved it if you were 5...

I'd have no problem with the drill itself  but looking at your post , I'm wondering about the shelf life of the battery ....is it fair to sell you a 3 yr old battery even if it is unused ? 

Just wondering ...if the overheat  trips  are  anything like the ones fitted in  immersion heaters  ....some of them are a right pain in the ass  for nuisance tripping  . I had one where the cylinder was normally heated by the central heating coil  ,  Immersion for back up ,   but the...

Thanks Murdo .

Wow !  thanks for that   .    It was the  waste of a number with a new phone that puzzled me .  

I'm amazed  we havn't run out of cell phone numbers by now .        I notice  if you buy a new phone , theres a card with it  so , I believe , you could go straight onto Pay -as-you Go  ,  or ...this bit gets me ....throw it away and insert your own SIM card .   How many combinations of 11...

If this is of any use to anyone its yours for the postage  .  

Its doubtful you will be adding too much load  .    I think where you say RCD  may be the wrong term .      Note that  the  floor will have to be taken up and prepared for floor mats , then relaid .   Also floor heating  is not the most efficient of systems IMHO  ...needs to be switched on well...

Oh  !!   I thought you learned under Michael Faraday   :innocent

Onoff ,  I'm looking at that tee in the pipework ...   I can only see the olive  on the tee section   .....   can't see a the back nut  !!!!      Flood action required  !!!    Don't panic !!!

Any thing  by Brian Scadden  will be useful  , he  passed away recently but was one of the best for writing with hands on experience.  Also try  ...The Part P Doctor  by Alan Lynch .     As the others have said , this is NOT  an easy path to be taking ,   and as Specs always says ,   its  who...

You did well and identified the CH  as the culprit I'd say.    I think by Sharpend's  question , he,s wondering if theres a damp issue somewhere with the boiler controls ...which has dried out by the afternoon .   Might pay to re-check that previous tripping issue with the insulation missing ...

I thought it was always a requirement .....been doing it for years .        Usually stripping  out a 2" section of G/Y insulation & hooking it under the  earth clamp screw.    I know these things go out of fashion like  bonding kitchen  sink tops .      It was presented as the most...

Run it to the gas upstairs  OR the water downstairs  back to  the main earth block  .         ( This situation calls for the cable to be "Continuous"   ....up to you if you want to worry about that  )     

How dodgy is that  !!!!       Everyone knows you'd use a McVitie's   tin for underground joints .      :C   No wonder this trade is going down .  Crawfords  ...dear oh dear !!!

Please note  anti theft sign writing on bender .   :) I think he said  the sparks were originally  from Eastern Europe .       But comments above not far wrong TBH   a combination of a very busy Works Manager  ,  knew what he meant but it didn't translate too well .   Never mind , I got the...
