    The young and their ideas?? Is it the way forward?

    I cringe when I hear the young pontificating about  "must have  latest trainers  "    or willingly pay a small fortune for , say,  a bog standard  polo shirt  but with some  inflated  company logo stitched on it .     I fear the truth may show they are all  farmed out to cheap labour in  far...

    Got to love tenants.

    I think....based on what I've seen ......  that  landlords should stipulate no interference with electric wiring or gas .

    Replacing supply cable

    New supplies are expensive  .   Differs by area .       I had a new supply to my house  ,  about 2 mtrs  cable , and the original  cable capped off ...... £800.

    Custom outdoor enclosure / CU / hookup

    Not me Dave , my van is not marked up .      Probably  Evans Electrical  ,  they're based in Sutton I think .   I use Denmans , Perry Barr  for almost everything.

    Wylex 80amp Residual Current Circuit Breaker

    You made a good start anyway .     The socket tester will probably not help to be honest .       Disconnecting outside wiring was a good move .   Another reason can be damp , say inside  a socket  .  Another can be an old  immersion heater  .   The fact that the Wylex RCD is there points  to...

    Got to love tenants.

    What ,  no giant freezer dumped out there .  Yes you don't know what you're going to find on an EICR  .     My cousin owned a rental  villa style house ,  one flat up  one flat down .     Upstairs tenants were two girls , immaculately   clean , they'd decorated , some new bits of furniture ...

    Custom outdoor enclosure / CU / hookup

    Hi Dave ,   first thing I thought was ....its not a caravan so forget the caravan Regs  !   I think I'd be looking at getting  a suitable  IP  enclosure and doing a bit of panel building  myself .

    The young and their ideas?? Is it the way forward?

    I hope things have changed  for the better ...years ago....without a second thought ...they sent  their young to be slaughtered in the First World war trenches .      If they'd  spoken of conservation  they would have been laughed at ....today we listen  .     Strange how one man springs to...

    Let the revolution begin?

    I'm getting a picture in my head of  a  load  of  escaped slaves  being questioned by the Romans .    When the Centurian demands  "  Which one is  is Victor "??     They all cry out   .....!"I am Victor ...no !  I am Victor "   When in fact ....I am Victor.

    Just found some of my old school reports from the early 70s

    The school report was used as a weapon  by certain teachers  .....a poor report  will "follow you throughout your life  every time you go for a job it will be there  "       They also talked of a BLACK BOOK  into which went the names of all transgressors  of school  discipline .  This was the...

    Let the revolution begin?

    This is a new development I think  from the "Electric Police"    .        To make it mandatory  to fit  AFDD s   in boards  is obviously instigated by the manufacturers of said pieces of junk  after finding to take up and interest from the grass roots of the trade  to be  a resounding nil.     ...

    Just a thought that crossed my mind... (45A)

    Yes but they are only on for ...what ...10 mins  say  .        I had a case of  a Triton shower that kept melting those two 16A micro switches inside .    It puzzled me as they usually last forever....  until I found out they were fostering a kid who was in the shower each day for an HOUR.

    This has to be Bull shine ...surely not real ?

    They must have seen it done in the movies  surely .      Oh they're American  ...I see it now .  I see what you're saying here..... thinking about it ...I know virtually nothing about today's  popular music  and those involved in it  but remember all those from when I was  at school  & a...
