T'is a Bargain... well I though it was anyway!! (AKA Parking fines/tickets and....)

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

Had to pop in the ole local B&Q to pick a doorbell ringer..

while there noticed they had some of there Sale item discount bin things piled up with all the carp they couldn't sell..

so I just had a quick browse as I walked past..

Noticed a 100m drum of TOWER 0.75 flex white round 2128Y..

Often handy for extending/replacing pendant flexes..

or individual ceiling lights back to a central box..

or even extending doorbell wiring over a long distance..

etc..

One of them things you may not use that often & generally end up paying more than you want if you just buy a short length...

Anyway.. looks at the price label..

....also this 'parking ticket' can only be sent to the owner of the car BUT the person liable for the fine is the 'Driver' [this only applies to Private parking penalties, not Police or Council ones]. So if they pursue you tell them that you were not driving and it is up to them to prove who was driving. :coat

dont tell them you were not driving. simply ignore it.

Back on topic re specs original post, I have just come back from B&Q myself. Took the missus over to buy her a garden wheelbarrow but they didn't have a great deal in stock.

I took a wander down the electrical aisles, like I usually do, and spotted a load of cable on special offer. After a quick look, I sent the missus off to get a trolley.

I bought 100 mtrs of 2.5mm Arctic blue, 100 mtrs of 2.5mm Arctic yellow, 50 mtrs 2.5mm H05RR-F, 25 mtrs 25mm brown tails, 25 mtrs 16mm brown tails and 25 mtrs 16mm blue tails. All going for

Scrap some of the cable and use the money for the wheel barrow.
