What are our kids being taught these days?

[littlespark]

So this happened today:-

My daughter texts me from school asking if its ok to put a 100W bulb (her word, not mine) when it says 60W Max?
I replied no, it'll be too hot. Fire risk.

When she gets home, I asked her about it.
Apparently for a biology experiment, in photosynthesis. She said the teacher told them to use the 100W anyway.

So the teacher is telling the kids to ignore warning signs on the equipment?
No wonder the world is full of obnoxious little sh*tes that think the rules don't apply to them.

Rant over

You have more wattage in your loft that I have in my whole house.

Blimey must take ages to warm up your hotpot.

Looking at a 118W £3 boasting 150W worth of Lumens ....
..In Maplins Today ! .... before its gone - SAD
...Rough duty loop-hole closed.
(My Geckos like a real lamp in the winter-LED summer !)
Shocked to find batten holders ,actually die from heat if not angled.

I gave Zap an ‘informative’ for every part of that post. SBO sometimes you gotta slow man and read the lines and it’ll come to you - it worth it!
Edit; except for the rough duty loop-hole closed but I’m not one to let a cryptic ruin my break time!

Anyone got any clue regarding the above?? I thought my home brew was good.........

It’s hard not to picture you as Ozzy so I thought you’d get it!

Bought rough duty --extra life lamps in the past ...
China found the loop hole .. Not on the "List"

I actually thought it was illegal to sell 100W lamps now thanks to EU legislation. So not only ignoring serious warning signs, but also dealing in contraband black market lamps

Think they get away with selling them as “Rough Service” lamps!
Plenty on eBay....

I got one of those, 500W really nice light to work under.
Also shown is a 1000W GLS I have. I can't find where I hid the 1500W one.

Stick that up your 60W bulbholder.

Your daughter is using a phone at school?

That is a GES cap lamp generally incorrectly called Giant Edison Screw when in fact it should be Goliath. Fitted many of those back in the eighties when I was involved in film work, 1000w photofloods.

Good point. Should be banned in school, you are there to learn, not muck about on the phone.

They are allowed in out lads high school but they have to be switched off and in their bag during school lessons.

I do... Still waiting for the DNA results to come back... Missus tells me they have lost the last 3 results....

 

[littlespark]

Yeah, they're allowed phones in some classes. This isn't the dark ages, you know.
When I was first in school, they still had blackboards and chalk... then whiteboards, felt pens and the big orange and white overhead projector.
Now its all interactive projection screens off a computer.
