I go along with that. I don't care what information people have on me, IT'S THE FREAKING ADVERTS EVERYWHERE THAT GET ME RILED (can you tell?). I'm immune to them now and can turn a blind eye, but jeez, they are shoved in your face everywhere you go nowadays, more so the internet..

(Michael, I like the gold stars your are giving out!)

Steve

Thanks Michael. I'm giving it a go.

Immediately I like the default to a UK search (it defaults to 'Any Country' in google).

I don't know much about Wiliam either, but I did follow H.Watanabe's build.

He mentions the regulator in 'FITTINGS 2'.

CDO

I was exchanging 'obsessions' with a guy at work the other day. In the end he admitted he had CDO. "It's the same as OCD" he said '"only the letters are in the correct alphabetical order". That made me laugh,

A metal tree for the hallway, to hang keys on as you come in. Or a tree for mugs in the kitchen, Or a rotating table for cake icing and decorating. I would show pictures, but said objects are with the ex wife!

I don't know why, but Pansey springs to mind.

My point was that I can probably make any 'approved' appliance unsafe, and then claim a fault in the design or BS. I am sorry I missed the point here.

One could take it a bit further and unscrew the lid off the plug,insert it the plug without top in the socket, turn on the power, and ask should I be able to do this.

Rear tool post, clenched buttocks and pleasure in the same post. I had to reread that!

In that first picture, the meter and fuse carriers not being straight is a bit of a let down.

I had to change the consumer unit a few of years ago. After 20+ years of use, one night the main switch fizzed and buzzed for about 10 minutes, flashing the lights on and off, and eventually welded itself open. As I was prepping up the wires for the new consumer unit, I was puzzled by the two lighting cables going into one mcb. I discovered that one cable was only a meter long, and the other end of it was just stuffed into the cavity, between the inside and outside walls, without so much as a piece of insulation tape on the end of it! The house was wired in 1990.

I would get the Vertex. I've not yet been disappointed with their quality.

It's great that you are there with it Ron. I've been quietly following the trials and tribulations, which has been most entertaining. That lining gives it good character . My daughter is the arty type as well. I happily let here emulsion the walls and ceiling and gloss the woodwork. I always knew she would come in useful.

I'm off to open the bottle of champagne that I've had on ice, waiting for you to finish, for god knows how long.

Long may it run!

All the best

Steve

Thanks David. I found that very interesting and informative.

Lol.

Gluing and marking the dashboard, it does not seem right to me. Lay the damn thing near the gear stick somewhere.
An Audi dealer i used to know told me they had to take back a car when the buyer could not keep up the payments. To their horror they found the buyer had screwed a crappy old bent up L bracket to the dash with two wood screws, and bent up some wire to make a cup holder! The car was brand new. It cost them a fair few bob to replace the dash.

It worked for a bit a couple of days ago for me, now too many processes again.
For what it is worth, here's a link to some tapatalk talk ....

Probably because Ady spelt it out in text and it was plain to see. I don't always have time to follow tons of links that are going to 'I don't know where'.

Steve

The sad thing is that the people responsible for these changes take themselves seriously, and others do as well. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Steve

If it is anything like the 'flakey' bluetooth communication between my PCs and bluetooth speakers etc, then that padlock will be staying locked. Bluetooth seems to want to work when it wants to, not when it should do. It seems to be even worse on Windows 10 (go figure that one). The amount of hours I've spent trying to get bluetooth devices to pair is embarrassing.

Steve

I'm sure Heinz don't mind. They won't be running the ad again. And this extra attention has given them some free nationwide advertising.
