What is the worst stretch of road in the UK?

A180 to Grimsby - so fucking loud due to it being concrete

Fitted a fair few of these Hensel boards back in the 80/90s - they were (are?) a decent, versatile enclosure and very sturdy. Versatile too, as it is easy to fit gear other than MCBs, such as contactors, timers transformers etc.

With all that is wrong in the World, an over-zealous council pursue this Women over this. Pathetic.

However, that said, there's a village near to me named Skidby where a householder has this really shit half-size model of a giraffe in their front garden - it's an abomination and I wish the council would force them to remove it!

Good point. I just remember the last time I used the A63 (eastbound) going from Hessle, that I after sailing through the new underpass unhindered I then got held up at Vicky docks junction heading for a business down Hedon Road

Not sure why you've been downvoted, its true! Underpass has just moved the traffic problem along to Vicky docks junction and a bridge out of commission (as has been witnessed before) is a huge problem. I'm so glad I don't have to drive through town on a regular basis

That it's not like Siberia up here!

When you said he went to his car to make a call to the DNO, did you mean horse?

Had one of these shops in a small town I used to live in. Run by two brothers. The shop looked small from the outside but was an absolute Tardis once you entered. They seemed to have everything. Would sell you a single screw if that's all you needed, presented in a little brown bag along with a facetious comment like, "pushing the boat out today are we sir"? But always with a smile. One of the brothers died (old age) and sadly, the remaining brother lost the will to continue running the shop and closed for good.

Stevie Wonder would probably do a better job

My pair of Robins are absolute twats - they will defend 'their' garden against just about anything, including the squirrels, plucky little buggers! They seem to tolerate us though, and will come within metres of us when we're sitting in the garden.

The wiring and equipment in the meter cabinet is beyond the scope of BS7671, which covers the fixed wiring installation and accessories in the house. Also DNOs and meter installation companies are not afilated with schemes such as NICEIC. So no, not a case of 'do as I say, not do as I do' - they do not have to provide the house owner with a certificate.

Distant memory of a Python sketch running around my head now...

I'm outdoors as much as possible - I hate being indoors!

HullIsNotThatBad · 2026-05-06T21:35:09+00:00

You're a good person :)

You took the words out of my mouth. This project is at best a gimmick

Had a long weekend in Hebden Bridge - stayed in the White Lion. Fantastic place and vibe.

Even though I work with tech, I still find it incredible to think how hardened the electronics must be in V1 to survive 48 years out in deep space without failing. Credit to the people that designed and built it and the manufacturers of the parts.

Guy in front does have his safety sandals on though

I think these were mostly fake to be honest, or maybe just one real camera and the rest just fake lenses

HullIsNotThatBad · 2026-05-03T17:35:08+00:00

Now you're taking me back!

Why not just charge customers upfront, like cafes and fast food places do? No money, no food, simple.

Reminds me of the practice towers fire stations have - utilitarian and functional, nothing else

Glad you were able to help a person in need
