    Grandkids updated

    Thank you. I must admit, and it has surprised me that since retiring, I have lost all interest in the electrical trade. Is that the 550D you have? Was and still is a decent camera. I upgraded to the 6DMKII after buying a second hand 6D, the difference compared to my pre-loved 5D was night and...

    Anyone can fix an MICC cable leading to a light switch in my house (London, N6)?

    A length of 1/4" rod bent over at one end for a handle with a slit in the other end to insert a slice of pyro was the best stripping tool.

    Extending earth rods making minimal difference?

    I had two pet hates with rods. One was that each lower coupler opened the entry hole and made the upper rods looser in the ground - although in time the ground would close up. Pity they wasn't designed to screw into each other rather than use a coupler. The other was the couplers always appeared...

    Voltage optimizers any good?

    Once car chargers and electric boilers are the norm, optimisers will be redundant. 😆

    Scotland Ban Gas Fired Boilers

    All posters to this section have renewed my faith that not everyone in the UK has gone bonkers. Its always been that when discussing various subjects with customers and many others you meet that it rarely compares to what we are being fed by the media.

    Started back into my photography after forced retirement.

    My choice years ago was Olympus (OM1 & OM2), I also dabbled with a Yashica and an old Bronica medium format camera's. I had a darkroom with a brilliant Phillips pcs2000 enlarger and colour analyser, the most awkward part was getting the colour balance right, it took a lot of time inc...
