    Another case of “why did they do it like that?”

The 3 core clipped to the wall runs to an additional PIR wired in parrelel to existing, installed a couple years later. The cable could have easily been added into...

    Another socket puzzle: Why the extra terminal?

    Here's an old accessory made to BS1363. You can connect it to a ring and plug 13A plugs into it. What is the fourth terminal for? I've blanked off some text moulded into the bakelite so as not to give too many hints at first. Nothing else is hidden.

    Another blonde joke, but true!

    Mine cannot tell left from right, when I asked her if we were going 50 miles an hour, how far would we be in an hour and she was completely lost. I gave her a Satnav to help , but she thought that pressing "Home" took her to a menu, so she kept trying to find her way around it.
