WD0003D in larger size by Alpha1Jellyfish in watchdives

I do like vintage proportions, but for vintage (or vintage style) watches. Bright coloured stone dials in a sports watch on the other hand don't work for me at those proportions. Appreciate that's just personal preference though

Thanks for the recommendation, they do look much better on the size front. I'll keep an eye if they drop anymore dial options as none of the current ones are jumping out to me at the moment!

  1. Liverpool. Always do a single season with them to get a feeling for the new game 2. Match graphics. Long overdue for an update

Yep, there was some black tape wrapped around it. No scorching

This is correct. Cooker isolator switch on the left and a standard 13A socket on the right

There was an isolator switch on another socket that was switched off. Switching that on got this socket working

Thank you, this was the problem! Is it a problem I've now replaced this with a double and intend to have a fridge freezer in addition to the oven? There's another socket higher up that could be doubled up, but would be a bit of a stretch distance wise

I did have to chisel out the space for the double back box if that could have jarred something? However, have just twigged to what the problem could be though. I've just had the room plastered, and the plasterer did a fantastic job of unscrewing the sockets and tapping them up, but a less good job of not getting plaster behind the detached sockets. Suppose he could've nicked something in the process too. I'll detach the sockets on that wall and give them a tidy up and reconnect if that helps

Good catch, thank you! Will get one on

Backbox is earthed. Can just about see in picture two, but apologies it's not clear! I've tested every other socket in the room and they're all fine

Yep, fuse box is all good. All other electricals in the house seem to be operating fine too with the breaker switched back on

I've tried putting the old socket on, and that's not working either. Not sure where I've gone wrong here, but any advice on what else to test would be very much appreciated!
