I know , I have just changed computers , This one is Windows 10 and I have no idea why it does that.
Also it will not open some photograph links.
I am not sure if we are going to be friends. ??

And to top it all it was an untrue statement. The sky has clouded over now , so no viewing the Space Station tonight.

Same here. I had seen it a couple of times when out walking late in the lane.
I did not know what it was until @Mike Johnson cleared it up.

I made some lovely beef fajitas last night. Washed down with a couple of San Miguel.

Got called out earlier to look at a cooker that wasn't working. A 3.4Kw unit that was installed by a well know UK chain with their own installation teams a couple of years ago.

They'd already had three warranty visits from them when they finally diagnosed the SFCU being the problem when one of their 'electricians' burnt his fingers pulling the fuse 13 amp out.

Swapped out for a cooker connection plate so hopefully no more problems.

It appears that the 0.5mm arc patch in the fuse carrier was the problem and not the SFCU they installed when they fitted the cooker... The rest of the SFCU was in really good condition, at least they used MK...

Now checking rest of extension. The fact he didn't understand ceiling roses is already evident.

Yes, beware is the word. It was fed from a separate RCBO now marked "Garage", and of course that also supplies the garage consumer unit, arriving there in 10mm SWA, location of joint not conspicuous.

The DIY hero's joint box of choice - choc block entombed liberally with expanding foam filler with almost zero slack.

Who else gets those bank holiday friday call outs they really don’t want to see. Didn’t need to unscrew the cover on the shower as there weren’t any screws! ???

Frigging landlords ?
