Can you, as the victim, refuse to take part in these ridiculous "apology" charades? I'm afraid I'd be wanting to introduce the perp to my size 11 (UK) steel toecap site boots.

I'm sure I saw something about them adding the ability to self-insure (which is what I think this section is about) if you can't get the required health insurance.

November generation figures, slightly better than last month.

We have that exact pump, definitely got 3-core cable. Protect with a 10mA RCBO if you can't arrange an earth for it (or even if you can).

Are you sure that's a double-insulated appliance? That Schuko plug has the earth connections, double-insulated ones tend not to have the extra metalwork.

But what about all of the electricity that's pouring out of the "on" but unused outlet?

Since our OP has his answer and the bickering has started.

All good stuff above. BUT To be brutally honest, with anything other than hand-baggage, get a taxi from the airport and arrive refreshed (OK, a few beers poorer)

It certainly does no harm. In the UK switched outlets are a de-facto standard, but unswitched are still permitted. This is one difference between BS7671 which is proscriptive (you need to achieve this) and AS3000 which is prescriptive (you must do this). There's a lot more freedom in the system design in the UK. Either way works just fine. For the record, I would use AS3000 here if you need an English standard, it blows the Thai requirements out of the water.

Very possibly

Yes, although your choice is limited. All your outlets should be protected by RCD/RCBO anyway, so a bit of damp will cause that to trip.

I was wondering exactly what he's smoking (and where can I get some)

Yeah ^^^, that's pretty much my understanding too.

I note that the FaceBore video has been taken down! I can't imagine why

Apparently, you can only get at your "home" office. The desk at Swampy is 24/7/365 ????

Yeah, the green stuff needs special kit to melt-weld it, can't be glued. You can get push-fit PPR fittings that don't need welding, but I've not used them so no idea how good they really are. It may just be best to find a plumber with the right gear ????

Indeed, but observing the other pedestrian (crossing from the opposite side) and the other vehicles travelling alongside the pickup it's reasonably easy to conclude that the lights were actually active, and that they had just turned green for pedestrians.

He definitely slowed after impact (almost stopped in fact) before zooming off into the distance. No way he wasn't aware he'd hit someone.

The black coming off was actually an issue with a batch of plates in the past, but this was years ago and all affected plates "should" have been replaced by now.

There's a fairly extensive thread (now locked - please continue in this thread) here: -

Now running in News, let's continue there

It comes between five and seven I think

Sometimes the hand drawn, splodgy X is so much clearer ???? Can't miss that one ... Or can they??
