    Tool and Plant Hire discount

    Hi, does anybody have experience of dealing with tool hire companies in the North West, in particular what levels of discount can be achieved for 'regular' customers. Apologies for some laziness (I should be ringing round) but I thought I'd get some views from this forum first. Thanks

    DNO earth.

    So, big Victorian house, rewired in '95 or '96. Looking round it seems a tidy installation, then I go down into the cellar. Never mind your spring clamps and such like, or contacting the DNO. This is how you sort a DNO earth connection. Separate the wires and twist them round the lead sheath...

    I've never come across this before, but I've just seen in a house a flat screen tv on a wall with the usual removable mains cable but the plug has been chopped off to fit an old 2A small plug with round pins on and into an a single round pin socket. Surely this isn't safe to run the tv on? Can...
