    WTF?

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hi-Viz-Trousers-used-size-30R-/323920013954?hash=item4b6b232a82%3Ag%3A0bMAAOSwe2VdgjzB&nma=true&si=zy3muHDP9OTORNZ8QsgY1lXcX4M%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Is this... For blokes on big projects so they can hide in the bogs smoking / hide generally and come out at 5pm looking like they've done a days work? Fancy dress Xmas party as a coalminer / MC Pitman? Some wierd sexual fetish? That's what you get for looking for 'Viz' items
  2. I wouldn't worry too much - the OP hasn't been back since they posted.
  3. Can't stand anything with confusing flashy codes to show various states - no need for it in this day and age.
  4. Ask yourself why we still have Carphone Warehouse at the same time
  5. Zut allors, cet Touchcenter est possible voler a ADT par ebay de france, correctament?
  6. No such thing when you're playing with 240V TBF, temporary, maybe, but a lashup is a lashup - it only takes one fire or one electrocution. Perhaps not but it could at least be safe. IIRC there is no stipulation for core colours on 24V (or any other SELV) fire circuits, someone tell me I'm wrong mind
  7. I think Pete is right its the little things that make the difference between Johnny Average and a decent installer, I was lucky and, the thing is (and this is why I LOL at the whole 'part time ambo driver' slur) is that for many years, long before I knew anything about ambulances other than you can help yourself to cool drugs and use the blue lights to get between McDonalds branches getting free coffee in the lonely hours between massive car crash jobs, I spent years post C+G exams as a contractor* for a very decent, well respected, do-it-by-the-book firm and learnt just as much from that as on my own, before then, sure I had passed my exams and did rewire a few houses, but stuff you learn on the job like doing conduit neatly and properly, MICC termination, the difference between scruffy junction boxes and doing it right, you don't get taught that at college, and other more complex stuff, I don't know like all the peculiar rules around earthing at special locations that kind of thing. Of course, follow the wrong firm and you'll likely pick up really bad habits, but I was lucky, without that, yes I'd probably convince myself I was as good as anyone else, but I wouldn't really be in the position to tell. After all, if I'd only seen the shiite work we used to encounter without having done it properly myself, I'd probably just assume the shiite was normal! *I should say a contractor with only about 5-6 people on the books, 3 of them directly employed, so we often worked together as a team so that made all the difference for picking stuff up...
  8. Hold up, is the detector mains as well then?
  9. That showed you so-called expert!
  10. That's my day job. I guess you do what you can for them?
  11. Had the best ever xmas parties, annual training away weeks in Magaluf, always paid by paypal...
  12. Ah yeah, that's his day job,
  13. You know, hangs around with Robin.
  14. It kicks off around 4 mins. Would never happen now, and if it did it wouldn't be broadcast.
  15. Were they UK based way back as Microtech, or always US? I've always thought they were a very US type product but having seen the early stuff not so sure (loudpspeakers as sounders etc...)
  16. pooper hub more like the famous wifi that just about reaches the edge of the room, I have literally no idea why it is so bad, and known to be that bad, and not addressed in some way. as soon as I see one it's 'wired only' from me, even then it has it's moments as you can see
