Toilet seat near CU

And a light bulb you can't change without needing step ladders!

you fit those "pull down" lights that were popular a decade or so ago.. they are on a type of spring and can be height adjusted for over dinner tables..

then you give the homeowner a stick with a hook on..

hehe thats true

I've been in many new houses and the vast majority of them have consumer units above the front door (ceiling height) in the hall way.

Every fitting??

You mentioned the 'new height', just wondering where you read it and if it specifically mentions consumer units.

I really cant remember which is why I havn't posted the height! I read it somewhere, and it stuck in my mind for the assessment, but it has gone now! I am sure it was higher than the 1.2m though.

[you fit those "pull down" lights that were popular a decade or so ago...

For those of you too young to remember the correct nomenclature, they were called "rise & fall"...

Decade?? They were popular in the 70's and early eighties...

And coming back these days too

"switches (and socket outlets) for (lighting an) other equipment"

CU could be covered by the above that isn't in brackets...

I hope they were fashionable well into the 90's when we decorated

... another response to a 16 year-old thread. It seems that this disease is infectious

I wish

As I recently wrote, we've all "done it", and that most certainly includes me. However, that doesn't stop me 'making fun' of perpetrators, just as they make fun of me when I do it

Kind Regards, John

How does such an old thread come to the fore?
Was it searched for or just randomly displayed in the new posts list?

 

[robinbanks]

Hence why it is in your face when you are sat down

Who needs a smart meter when you can get a "regular update" of the kWh on your shart meter?

Regarding old threads, I'm sure the forum software will have a feature of putting a "Cobweb alert: this thread is X years old old" banner up if replying to a thread over a certain age..

Maybe the admin team can be approached about enabling it

 

[securespark]

Sometimes you do get that, but I didn't this time, hence cocking up.

Yes,it's odd. It seems that the (red, bold and unmissable) 'old thread warning' sometimes appears, but sometimes doesn't, when one attempts to reply to an ancient thread.

I've asked the mods to look into this.
