Hello there.
I recently had a new kitchen installed. There is a large switch that lights up when switched on above the oven and hob. I thought this switch had to be on for the oven or hob to work. However the oven and hob work if this switch is off or on, it seems to make no difference at all. I asked the installers and they said that due to new regulations the switch has to be now 'optional'.
Can this be true?

Thanks for any help.
Cheers

You know, we never had this sort of confusion in the "old days" when we measured things in Yards, Feet and Inches.

We would say something like: "Put it six feet along from the meter" and everyone would know what we were on about.

Nowadays, we're all expected to embrace these cillimetre things and we get things like: "Put it two meters along from the meter." or "Put it two metres along from the metre." when what is really meant is: "Put it two metres along from the meter." Confusing innit?

Things really were much easier - and better - in the old days. :)

I'm starting to get very worried about you lot..has no-one got a proper car? I'll give you examples of my current crop so you get the idea..

Range Rover Vogue SE
Discovery 3 TDV6
Discovery 300TDi (Off road and recovery use as it has a 12,000Ib winch on it)
Volvo D5 (Chipped to 211bhp and 489Ib/ft)
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante (1992 vintage)

Now they are proper cars!!

Well I had a MK2 .... "G" reg that was a standard 2 litre straight 4 and loved it, but the tin worm got to it and it had to go.

It was replaced by a MK3 standard 1.8 straight 4 that I never liked and after a few hundred miles the engine grenaded.

I then bought a MK2 with a 3 litre V6, but it's needing an engine rebuild 'cos it's knackered - like me.

Meanwhile, I have this 1990 Celeica thing that's 4 wheel steering, convertible and I'm told is very rare and worth a lot of money. Underneath, it's immaculate and it shifts a bit too off the line..... but it isn't an MR2 Mk2 with a V6 .....
