Definitely sounds like NAFFI standard. Often wondered how they make it. Sack of tea, couple of squaddie socks for flavour and boil for 24hrs. None of peppermint flavour decaf muck here! This mornings storm shenanigans and subsequent power cut provided the perfect opportunity to test things out...

Hi Chaps, According to the neighbours the road used to get half a dozen powercuts a year, often lasting for hours at a time.  So there would have been some sense in having a generator hookup. This would almost certainly have been done in the early eighties. The guy who owned it then was not...

Dunno about the sink but I'm sure it'd give your intestines a darn good scouring. Someone keeps giving me the stuff - `i gave the last bottle to a tree surgeon - figured it'd help him him get up and down the tree faster. He thought it was 2-stroke mix 'till he opened it. Then he thought I'd...

Thanks Andy, looks like I need 5 posts to attach images - so three more to go. (The whole house is odd, Three CUs in the meter cupboard. Five more in various outside locations, ten light switches in the lounge. It all looks to have been done professionally but it sure looks like someone got a...

Hi, In our meter cupboard we have a large switch box labelled B&P Controls BPDC 102PC. The switch has labelled positions Off, and 2. The switch is set to a third unlabelled position (meant to be 1?). Switchbox cabling consists of a pair of cables from the meter, a pair of cables to an...
