I know it's late notice, I don't read their publications anymore but noticed its on as I passed earlier....

Anyone going? 

I'll bring the egg's on Thursday.

 

[Tony S]

After the last one I went to at Harrogate, you’ll not be seeing me.

 

[Blue Duck]

you brought eggs too???

:lol:

 

[Sidewinder]

Sorry Duck, I was going to come over, but the guy I was hoping to meet up with isn't there, unless things change in the next 24 hours.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I would not have bothered if it wasnt so close. We  are planning to go Wednesday but are starting a fibre optic cable pulling in job for BT today in Oxford St and have to get it finished. I do have 2 spare tickets

 

[Blue Duck]

My enthusiasm has been scuppered by flu, was hoping it was just a day thing but I've been taken out by the lurgy...

I'll see how I feel tomorrow, more importantly how Mrs Duck is.

:coffee

Come on Tony, you can't tell me you didn't enjoy that evening in the bar? Not the one with me, the one with your favourite Mr Cable.

 I went in the end and took my avian flu with me as my plus 1.

Didn't manage too long as at first I was too hot and then too cold.

All the good free stuff was gone but had a good chat with the ECS man about gradings and wot not, told him his website was **** and he agreed!  :lol:

The IET seminar was about home automation and voice control, what that has to do with the IET I dunno? :C

Watch out for fake regs books was plastered everywhere! :slap

Wish I could have gone a bit earlier but it wasn't too bad an experience.

Didn't see Mr Cable or Mrs Clancy, Infact there was no NIC stand I can recall maybe they share the IET stand now?

It’s a good thing you weren’t there.

Things didn’t improve when the bible thumpers showed up while I was having a smoke outside.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I found it surprisingly good. No NIC there.  I got all the pens & cups on the 1st day, thats why none were left :B .

Bought a few bits that were a good deal, saw this a while ago at double the price, Hole saw kit that will cut through almost anything, £100 inc vat

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Also had a good chat on the Lewden stand. I did not know they bought Control Gear a few years ago and the CG new consumer units look really good. Square knockouts with silicon grommets good construction. Board with 8 rcbo's will be £120 before any wholesale discount

Forgot, this was from Super-rod. They also do an arbour  designed to fit 2 hole saws onto for enlarging   holes

They were originally marketed by L S Starret, google "oops arbour" had one for years, worth it's weight in gold.

Got one too, also have a long plain shank bolt with the holesaw thread on it.

Got some spare bolts too, but couldn't find them the other day, when I do, I'll lop the heads off them and send them out to forumites for forum donations, IF I can find them...

Do you know what thread it is SW,?

I have an old style bolt/screw place near me that has some weird and wonderful stuff in there, run by an old (ancient) bloke behind the counter that can usually find you a solution to anything that doesn't require a metric measurement.

 

[Sidewinder]

7/16" UNF sounds right, but, it is on here somewhere, because that is where I got it from, and the reason I got some more bolts than I needed was to do one for you and a few others, but, didn't have the chance, and as usual, these things get put to one side!

 

[Andy™]

didnt @Onoff make an adapter for this?

 

[Sidewinder]

Might have been where I got he size from?

 

[OnOff]

You rang?
