Wouldn't that be the remit of an  engineer . ?    A 1970  installation  then ,   that,s in the day of  using the conduit & trunking as the earth  for a start .   There is'nt a requirement to change the cabling if the testing proves OK  .    Fitting new boards would  of course answer the...

I'd say it was the same ,   that series about confidence tricksters  ,  can't think of the title  .    The Missus just said she went back to it , came out of Iplayer ,  back in,  and it was OK .     Sounds like it re-boots .   

Anyone heard anything  from Tony ?  

We're enjoying the new Smart arse TV  but a slight problem has started .        Been watching  various Iplayers  but lately BBC iPlayer  has started buffering  ,   just watched a one hour episode  , no problem ,  5 secs  the next one comes up  and starts buffering & doesn't stop .    Couple...

Forget the word  .." Ring"  for a start .  You don't need to extend a ring down there  .    You'll just be wiring a sub-supply    Now you need to decide what load you require in the summerhouse  .      Just a  plug & a light perhaps .  Do you want any heating  in there ?     The load...

There are more things to worry about than how the plugs in your house are divided up into circuits ...they're  safe , forget them and move on . 

Theres no point doing that  .   And no it would be pain in the aristotle  to do .      The whole point , as Specs said ,  is to give you two circuits in case one fails  , same with the lights .  I made a point a few days ago about houses in the 1950s ...1960s    could have a  3 way board ...

Glad its not just me .   Lets be honest , who wants to be arsed  banging rods in unless they have to .   Specially where they have a lovely new Cretaprint driveway say .    All we need is a box with the correct gizmos in it ....nail it to the wall , ....run a suitable  cable  back to the board . 

Its not a Regulation as far as I know .     Its quite a good method actually ... if one of the circuits tripped out , at least you would have a second circuit of plugs ,    either at the front  , up & down  or at the back , up & down . It probably saves cable too , at first fix ,   with...

Thats more or less how I saw it .      Fitting an EV charger suddenly became the most complicated thing in the Domestic situation  .      Fit an outside socket , yep, as long as theres a n RCD back up . 

Perhaps he,s had to go back into Hospital .  

A Monty Python type giant boot  appears , hovers , then stomps your car flat . 

Sorry  it is a bit of an empty statement .        I 'd just read an article in the PE  magazine   from NAPIT  who are addressing  the Amendments that seem to be flooding in on fitting an EV charging plug . Or , simplified ,  wiring an outside socket.  The worst news you need when looking at an...

Any comments ?  Anyone  recommend  them ?  Do they work ?  Any problems ? 

The fear of losing the PEN  on PME systems is certainly worrying them .    

Thats right Specs  ,   I remember BRMB starting  , as you say in Aston Rd North  ( The old ATV studios )  .  It was a good talk station ,although with adverts ,  definitely covered local  Brum & Black Country .   I believe they were bought out by Global or someone  ,   became a music station...

I agree .....then I remember  when we  had to go to the coffee bars to hear   Elvis , Buddy Holly , Chuck Berry , Eddie Cochran et al .   as the  radio was ignoring R&R   other than Radio Luxembourg  which became clear after around 9.00 at night  .      And we heard the same as what  I'm...

The local BBC  Radio here  Radio WM  plays mostly instantly forgettable  music  , no idea where it comes from .     It was different today because they celebrated 50yrs  on the air  , started as Radio Birmingham    ,  so records from 1970  .       And what happened  ?  Everyone was phoning...

..............thinks  there is hardly anything on TV these days  where you think  ..." Ah!  I don't want to miss that "  ?
