Not banned though, merely restricted. Easily available (esp. if you have a ltd. co to 'prove' professional use) but you have to buy 20+ litres. i.e. https://www.creosotesales.co.uk/

You can still buy creosote in large quantities as a professional user, to be fair the kreokote product our local hardware shop sells ('in a variety of brown like colours') isn't that bad anyway,

Blimey, must be some current. Very popular with ambos. Amusing that certain trusts insisted on 110v, others were happy with the full mains. Then at merger time... ;)

Sounds interesting - a bit like my parents old house. Built in the 1930s, at the back of all the gardens was a 15m gap and then farmland with a right of way running parallel. When they built a new estate in the 1950s, rather than re-divert the footpath to butt up with the back of our gardens...

We've got a bit of land out the front we drive across that no one will fess up to owning. We were assured it was insured for some crazy amount if anyone ever came forward to claim it. When I looked at the paperwork, the insured land was in another part of town! The previous owners of some 15...

The Land Registry map for ours is hopelessly useless. Next doors lean to comes 12" onto our back wall (I.e if I drilled a hole in the corner of our back room, it would come out in their lean to, a mistake I nearly made a few days after we'd moved in) and the map shows that the edge of our garage...

We had the same at our old place, they painted the fence blue on their side (it was our fence) and it all ran through. Agreed though, these things can escalate and get VERY nasty. You'd think it would be a good thing, work wise, but whenever I am asked to do CCTV in such a circumstance I...

Oh there was a drip loop alright, dripping right onto the floor inside :) They must have put up with this for YEARS!!!

When we bought out cottage, there was a leak in the ceiling in the annexe. We knew that when we bought it, but when I went up into the loft, the felt and rafters were bone dry.... Yes, you've guessed it, the muppets had a catenery pointing downwards from the house, making a nice little run for...

Just as a point of practice, am I right in thinking that until certain, fairly recent editions (perhaps 15?) T+E on a catenery was allowed providing the catenery wire was earthed (ha ha ROFL, big cash prizes if you ever find one). I remember it being used as an example of allowable 'like for...

Or perhaps using. Or maybe suing as well ;) As every other manf sells out to the LCD, I still rate Hager.

This sounds almost as good as a mate of a mate who kept complaining of 'tingling' when he touched the sink if the dishwasher was running. Eventually I was persuaded to take a quick look as I was in the area. His Dads 'sparky' mate had come all the way from London 6 months ago to change the CU...

They also make...

Ah right, no self ejectors then? http://www.ludomcgurk.com/fire

Holy Marrow!

Where I used to work, we used to do our own PAT testing until we became too busy and got in outsiders. They would just be the usual button pushers, and I once found a lead they had passed that was a home-made IEC lead using 6 core signal cable with doubled pairs...

Lol. The van I speak of was around so long it *might* be on the very first early 2000s Google Streetmaps as it was always parked in the same road. I'll try and find it some time.

Where I used to live (still South West) there was a genuine, 1980s 'Liverpool Municipal Council' or similar Sherpa van, that defied all odds by still being on the road until the early 2000s. Not sure how it got sold with the livery still on - I mean, joking aside, it could have been stolen and...

LOL. I just think in my parents case it won't get done, appearing on the £499.99 tickbox exercise every year, but keeping the meter reader and everyone else happy.

It's true, mercs are basically considered 'rovers' back in Germany, used as much for taxis as much as executive transport!
