    Is there anything I can do to get my sockets working

    To Qualified Electricians: I have this iron with a torn wire that I fixed by twisting the wires together.

    Electrics came back on without doing anything

    All electrics in the garage went out. It was caused by a heater fan I had one for a hour or so. It is a very very old heater fan. I presume it's got a fault. Anyhow there is a board in the garage and also a board in the house. The house lights were fine and nothing tripped out. The garage...

    Cloud flare not doing anything.

    Can we get rid of Cloud Flare because it ain't working against the Chinese posters.Having to wait 5 seconds every time to access the site is getting a bit much and seeing as it's not working I cannot see the point of having it. Get rid I say.

    Blimey, never seen anything like this before!

    I was asked by a friend to connect up some lights in their store room. You can make out the cable on the ceiling coming out of the conduit ready to be connected to one of the CU's. This is what I came across. I said 'No'! :)

    Do car adverts tell you anything about the car?

    Is it me or are car adverts a waste of time? Now I find all adverts pretty insulting, but the latest car adverts seem to go along the lines of 'do a posy sport and get sweaty and dirty, jump in a very ordinary looking car and drive off quite quickly, making sure you go through a puddle'. Another...

    Should I/would you say anything?

    I'm working at a house and the previous sparky has been a bit of a cowboy - end of cable left in gaffer tape, non MF free junction box to be hidden above new ceiling, spur off of a spur, choc blocks everywhere. Would you say anything or just get on with your work and leave? I don't think they...
