    UK Fitting a timer to an electric aga so it can't be used in the night

    A few months ago I fitted a change over switch to an electric oven/hob and a converted to electric aga stove, stopping them being used at the same time. I've now been asked to fit a timer so that the Aga can't be left on overnight. I'm not happy to do this for various reasons, but can anyone...

    CCTV colour at night alternatives.

    My FIL wants a cctv system at his house, and normally i would just go with whatever kit was on offer at the time from t'internet. My own system is a mish mash of a cheap Sannce recorder, an old camera with infra red, another with a light that's on all night, and a hikvision camera which...

    My central heating is working fine and if I demand water, then I get a small supply of hot water within an hour.

    Experienced the weird dangers of a lost PEN last night

    So we had a powercut at home last night, overnight. Took my tired brain a few minutes to work it out, though, as a whole bunch of downlights, device electronics (washing machine controls, google hub, sky router, oven timer....) etc all stayed on but 'unhappy'. I first thought it might have...
