    Should I/would you say anything?

    I'm working at a house and the previous sparky has been a bit of a cowboy - end of cable left in gaffer tape, non MF free junction box to be hidden above new ceiling, spur off of a spur, choc blocks everywhere. Would you say anything or just get on with your work and leave? I don't think they...

    Grants for advertising?

    I got a text message the other day, advertising "GRANTS with NO FEES" (their capitalisation) for marketting costs, from "BizFund". Anyone know if this is real or a scam? Seems too good to be true.

    Help with fuses that don't seem to do anything
