    The Burqa

    I was never a fan of banning people from differing cultures, wearing or going about their cultural heritage, until today that is. I was going about my business minding my own, when I happened to be waiting for a lift to arrive at a shopping centre. Two Mid Eastern ladies were waiting as well...

    Another quiet day today so a bit of retail therapy was in order - this time on a bootlace ferrule crimper. Here he is with his first 6mm crimp. I'm hoping he'll settle into the toolbox in the next few days 'cause he seems a bit stroppy tonight. Maybe it's just me ...

    Quiet Day Today

    Came across this today

    Not sure if picture has uploaded. I opened up the main incoming box on outside wall to find the tails had been split in a Henly block and into an enclosure with a 100A main switch in it. Out of this there was an armored cable out to a separate building in the garden with a 5-5 split board. The...

    What the lad did at college today.

    My son [and apprentice] was on practical at College today and last Monday and wanted me to post these pictures as he was quite proud of his efforts. I gave him some praise and a little bit of constructive criticism too. :smile: Not at all bad for a 16 year old though. :smile:
