    Outdoor socket brand recommendations

    Anyone have a go to outdoor socket brand for quality / reliability? Looking to revamp a customers garden socket which funnily enough stopped working as it was attached to the side some decking and was then buried in soil from the adjacent flowerbed ?. Also, are there any ranges that have a...

    New Trades Career

    Course may or may not be good. Sounds like an organisation with poor customer service. All resources devoted to hard sell and sign up to credit agreement. If the pandemic has caused issues then all clients should have been updated by the company as to the planned alternative arrangements.

    DNO fuse in a house of horrors

    Maybe worth checking with client whether they still want E7 (or the second meter). When I moved in to my current place I had two old style meters with the rotating discs. My supplier at the time was SSE who also happened to be the DNO. I managed to get them out and remove the second meter and...

    UK Legal Details - Sockets - Where is the requirement for separate socket earths to be linked?

    Must admit that I've quite often wondered why there are two earth terminals on double sockets which are quite clearly linked. Suppose its quite handy to have the extra one if you are earthing the back box but if you have a RFC with a large number of double sockets, if the CPC's are in the...

    Loads of info and similar posts on here. Shop around to find what fits for you. Check with the comp schemes re the qualifications that are required.

    Really difficult when it comes to our own kids. Perhaps we should start up our own mums net type thread ???

    Very basic trainee workbook

    I thought my 16 year old was bad. Does that mean I have at least another 10 years! Computers have a lot to answer for! At 16 I was grinding rust off my dads MG Midget for fun! ?

    Young boy killed in pub garden

    Anyone know if the pub was a freehold or if the landlord was tied to a brewery chain and being dangled by the goulies for every penny?

    Online Trades College FRAUD!

    Been a few previous threads on this company. I suspect that their main focus is lining people up to get the credit agreements signed. The online theory will be an easy number to sort out in some format but I suspect that they will run into trouble trying to organise arrangements with colleges...

    Dental surgeries that need extraction systems to help reducing "fallow" time.

    Blimey, don’t fancy your dentist if their injections take 2 to 3 weeks to wear off. Normally takes an hour or so ?

    What is a the going rate to replace an old plastic socket front to an chrome one?

    Depends on condition of existing wiring and presence of CPC’s?

    Dental surgeries that need extraction systems to help reducing "fallow" time.

    Keep meaning to mention to my dentist that he could say some money on his electric bills by replacing some of his 50w halogen lights with LED’s. Great way to examine the ceiling whilst reclined in the dentist chair. Was there last week for a filling. Three injections that numbed everything...

    Not a bad job really. At least they cut a gap in the carpet gripper and the carpet would have added an extra layer of insulation. ?

    How how to bond existing in ground pool?

    I find the best way to bond around a pool is with a few beers, good music and a BBQ. Job done ??

    Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views!

    I suspect there's an earth rod somewhere or the system earth is reliant on the gas and water bonding ? SSE are pretty good at coming out for PME connections so I might see if I can use that 10mm to pull a 16mm through to the MET.

    That plastic conduit might be a bit vulnerable if they want to keep giraffes in those stalls. ?
