    Website build and email address

    Could anyone advise me or recommend somewhere that can build me a website and somewhere I can sort out my own email address please. I'd like to be able to send emails to people with a letterhead of the company on it. I haven't a clue how to sort any of the above out!! Cheers in advance.

    Meter Tails hanging loose.

    Been to a job to see this. I'm guessing that when the old CU was replaced the sparks didn't bother to remove the old meter tails - they were live and just had a couple of wraps of insulation tape round them.

    Graphic video

    Apparently,this video is doing the rounds and is being tagged for safety at work. Be warned it is graphic and I found it very disturbing, I don't know what the poor woman was thinking. Is it natural instinct or foolishness.

I'm carrying out EICR work on a few properties , and am currently in a debate with a lady who says I should be registered with a governing body to carry out the testing. I said she's talking rubbish.

    Small power

    I have been given the preliminary design of the small power system for an industrial complex. The design states that a switched fused connection unit should be on its own circuit , would this not normally be part of the ring main? Has anybody seen this before ?

    The top knot - to ban or not to ban

    Following on from the burka thread where many expressed their annoyance with people wearing a burka in public, I thought I'd express my annoyance of wear the Tw@t-bun aka top knot or man bun, anywhere let alone in public. Whilst they themselves might not pose a risk in public places, other...

    Gaps In Old Cus/fuseboxes Etc, Fire-retardant Silicone?

    This is fresh off the top of my head, but what do you guys think about having some fire-retardant silicone to seal gaps in old CUs to contain a potential fire within the CU (at least for longer)? A good idea, or just going to leave fingers pointing my way if there ever is a problem with it...
