    Service head EICR

    Never seen a non dno sparky wearing the official ppe for working on a cut out, ie rubber gauntlets, leather over gauntlets, full face visor, and non combustible clothing. Not saying dno empoyees always do.......

    Old fuse removal.

    Undo the screws in the fuse holder, they are wedge fuses, looks like a metal clad cut out, which should not be worked on live. You should NOT be messing with it, naughty naughty!

    How to deal with issue in underground wiring?

    Working for DNO we regularly had to find faults on underground cables. Usual equipment was a pulse echo, which sends a signal down the cable and measures the time it takes to return, a 'sniffer', which detects gases given off on a short circuit, and a cat and genny. So yes, a professional would...

    I'm a celebrity

    Apart from being charged under the Trade Description Act, does anyone really think Caitlyn Jenner looks even remotely female?

    Opinions please - leaking service head

    This was a regular call when I worked for DNO. Not usually dangerous, but very unsightly and messy. With one in this condition a jointer would usually go out and strip the cut-out down, use a blow torch to melt as much of the pitch off as possible, clean it all up and fit new cut-out.

    UK Should I get the main earth changed by the DNO?

    Meant re-terminated. Still a poor job though.

    UK Should I get the main earth changed by the DNO?

    The service cable needs terminating, there should be a cover over the cable end at the bottom of the cut out. In effect the cable is single insulated. DNO would upgrade main earth at same time.

    Seriously thinking of ditching TV sport

    I used to be with Talk talk, then they introduced me to A lot of very nice Indian Men who wanted to get rid of all the nasty viruses on my computer. Whereas this provided me with hours of entertainment, I decided to join Sky. Those very nice gentlemen followed me though. Naughty Talktalk.

    Seriously thinking of ditching TV sport

    Any idea of how much that would cost? Tickets, travel, accommodation etc. Even tv looks cheap when compared!

    Seriously thinking of ditching TV sport

    Although not sport mad myself, my wife is sport mad (She's a PE teacher). We both like to watch football, tennis, cricket etc, but there are 2 things tempting me to get rid of it. First of all cost. Years ago sport was on ITV or BBC. Now to see most sport I have to have and pay for Sky, BT...

    Pre Payment meter at fault?

    It's a 1993 meter, first 2 digits are the year of manufacture, but it could have been re-certified. I would ask for that credit to be paid to you, far too much to be in their account! You will be paying a higher rate on a key meter.
