    "The Devil Makes Work For Idle Thumbs”.

    Was browsing the internet, and accidently (my excuse), bought an iPad mini! Downloaded some free electrical certificate software, and now planning to use it for work to fill out test forms as I go!

    Who makes what these days?

    Check out these three pictures, each item is priced differently and yet upon closer inspection I believe they are the same just in different colours. What do you think of this?
