  1. Settlement crack in the non-structural barrier. Shouldn't be there, but no hazard and certainly no risk of collapse. As above "a dab of Polyfilla" ???? "Drama-addict" - most apt.
  2. Does Aus produce anything like the IET On-site Guide https://shop.theiet.org/on-site-guide-bs-7671-2018-a2-2022-8th-edition which contains the essentials without the salad-dressing and is rather cheaper? Or, something like the TLC site I linked to earlier? The Aussie regs are rather closer to the Thai requirements than the IET Regs. but the full book is expensive and mind bending for the average chap.
  3. https://www.flickr.com/photos/hairyhippy/12373065024 P860 Ticket Machine - TIM This type of bus ticket machine was made by Ticket Issuing Machines, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, an offshoot of the Roneo company. The business was approached in 1931 by London United Tramways to design a portable ticket printer. Yes, I've been around ticketing for a loooong time ????
  4. Been there, done that, even had LTA from Singapore in to talk. Sadly TiT!
  5. It actually says MRTA (Mass Rapid Transit Authority) which is the government agency the controls all except Green (which is BMA) and Red (Ministry of Railways). MRT is the colloquial name for the Blue Line from way back. Coined to distinguish it from the BTS Skytrain. As I said, dashed confusing. Note the front of the train.
  6. It's all down to who is the actual operator rather than the authority. Green, Pink and Yellow are operated by BTSC (as BTS, NBM and EBM) - Rabbit Blue and Purple are operated by BEM - MRTplus Red is operated by SRT - Their own card, can't remember the name they use. I work for one of the operators (evidently not SRT). It can get horribly confusing for the public, particularly when many refer to any elevated railway as the BTS or Skytrain. Blue, Purple and Red are all, at least partially, elevated but only Green is actually BTS.
  7. There have been some valiant attempts, Rabbit came within an ace of working on Blue and Purple when the Purple Line was in development, thwarted by "commercial issues". Then there was the ill-fated Mangmoom, which never worked anywhere.
  8. Ah, the more long-term members know who I work for I'm afraid your lady is mistaken.
  9. Nope, the Bunny works only on the Green, Yellow and Pink (when it opens). MRTplus works only on the Blue and Purple. Neither of them work on Red.
  10. I've been playing the ticketing game here since 2004, and when I started they were talking about a common ticket The closest we have is the contactless EMV but it doesn't work on the BTS Green Line (works on Yellow, Red, Blue, Purple). Krungthai Bank even have a transit dedicated EMV debit card. I've not had time to try and get one as a foreigner. https://krungthai.com/th/content/personal/cards/debit-card/tranxit-card
  11. Have a look at this guide. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/1.1.htm It's aimed at UK regs but the principles are the same. The Aussie regs are closer to Thai installations, but I don't have a simple guide. 00. AS_3000_2018.pdf
  12. Rystad Energy says that about €7 billion ($7.8 billion) of solar panels are now being stored in Europe, but European developers continued to buy solar modules from China throughout the first half of this year. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/07/19/european-warehouses-currently-host-40-gw-of-unsold-solar-panels/
  13. Panel mounting hardware https://www.lazada.co.th/products/solar-6-i3361673427-s12469147560.html
  14. Thirty years since this was first published, it's as true (maybe more) today as it's always been.
  15. An Ikea induction capable pot not working on an Ikea hob = get refunds!
  16. And, that pan has the "induction" symbol, it should work 100%.
  17. Sorry, due to Thailand's draconian libel / defamation laws I've removed the name of the airline. Please feel free to PM our OP.
  18. Will the price-cap still be in place?
  19. We can't take her I'm afraid, but some photos would be handy for anyone looking for a barker.
  20. At least it makes a change from the bog-standard snake in the lav ????
  21. OK, it looks like it is correctly connected for 2 of your 3 phases plus neutral, so that one is cleared up. Can you check that you actually have 220V between your neutral and each of L1 and L2 at the stove. If that all checks out, and your pans are definitely compatible (do you have a cast-iron pan you can try?) then I too am suspecting an appliance fault.
