    Sockets tripped

    Morning Joe If it is an appliance that's causing it I'd go for anything with a motor in it. If it happens again, you could try running these appliances one by one on an extension lead plugged into a socket on a different breaker, to see if the fault moves. In the mean time, I'd get into the...

    Coronavirus

    Morning Droogs Their recruits were earning 7 grand a year more than an army one and in some cases more than a lance corporal. Something wrong there I think Droogs. Firefighters then received an average of £71.10 for a basic 48-hour week, amounting to £3,700 a year...

    Extending socket cable

    Heat from led panels and downlighters

    It's not the heat generated by the panel that's the problem, it's the integrity of the ceiling in the event of a fire. Fire rated panels will slow down the spread of a fire up into the floor above. Google 'fire rated LED panels' for chapter and verse. Cheers Dave

    Working hours experiment

    Good morning Bob It's good to know that there are still some reasonable employers about. I think Robin has hit the nail on the head. Have you considered reducing the number of days worked in the week? A whole day off every fortnight is, in my opinion, more use than half a day each week. A...

    Tips wanted for doing kitchen work top joints

    Afternoon Beau I cant see why he did not cut the male part first and avoid the transferring of lines to other side. Looks like an unnecessary way for errors to creep in. Good point. I've always done it that way, but I can'think what difference it makes. Any ideas anyone? Router bits. Have a...
