    Potholes / Karma

    Ye us cyclists always get the "you haven't paid any road tax" carp shouted at us, but the roads would last indefinitely if it was just cycles on them. No potholes; ever.

    Metal Consumer Units ?

    I have the exact same nibblers in my garage somewhere as well.  I dont think they will work on the thicker metal though. I used to use them doing damaged repairable cars, back in the day.  I have a 240v one somewhere as well about the size and shape of a jigsaw.
