  1. Those are MCBs, so if they are opening before the Safe-T-Cut then it must be on over-current rather than earth leakage.
  2. Does the beast operate correctly when the "Test" button is pressed? Are the breakers in the CU MCBs or RCBOs?
  3. Do they have plugs like this?
  4. Safe-T-Cut certainly used to do them.
  5. I do not allow my lady to operate the brush cutter, any distraction and she would swing around and take you off at the knees! Love her to bits of course.
  6. Expecting the unexpected doesn't go nearly far enough. Expecting the physically impossible (how the flip did that car get there?) is closer.
  7. OK Mod hat on! This is a fun poll so moderating has been somewhat, er, relaxed, and there have been many sensible posts too, but let's leave the grammar / spelling policing to the Boys in Brown (after all, they can't deal with traffic policing) EDIT OK, enough snarking and name-calling. If you notice that your post has gone walkabout, sorry.
  8. I think a fundamental issue here, and many other non-Western countries, is that students are taught to operate the vehicle, they are not taught to "drive". Driving is so much more than simply making the vehicle go (and hopefully, stop). Driving with an instructor on real roads, with real traffic (and real idiots) is absolutely essential.
  9. Yup, I would certainly stand no chance on a UK test now unless I had at least some form of refresher course. For example, a "Toucan" crossing didn't exist last time I drove in the UK, Pelicans were the latest thing.
  10. If I drove like I do here when back in the UK I'd be locked up for a long time! Speeding - Definitely Passing on the left - Of course Clipping the "don't drive here" hatchings - I have photo evidence!
  11. Wanna start a sweepstake? Oops, sorry, gambling is illegal
  12. I think it's 15 minutes, after which the poster can't edit ????
  13. Next time I'll wait for the edit window to expire ????
  14. At least spell "bait" correctly ???? Of course it is, you clicked = $$$, you could have voted ????
  15. Please post your opinions (within forum rules of course).
  16. It has to be uniquely Thai for the workers to threaten strike action in support of the management!
  17. I was buying used SLR lenses (usually badly described), cleaning them up and selling on for 200%+ mark-up. ????
  18. Remember when Ebay was full of genuine sellers disposing of "surplus to requirements" stuff? My parents sold a large collection of model buses and a considerable number of "collectable" sugar-sachets (without sugar). Our local coffee bar in Rome let me go through many packs of their sugar in order to make a full set of the "History of Rome" sachets, a couple of them were very "rare" and netted a couple of squid a pop! Now it's mostly drop-shippers ????
