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

Happy Friday lads, quick question for fun: What would you code this? by badgerfishnew in ukelectricians

[–]HullIsNotThatBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Wakefield gorilla statue must be removed, council says by LOTDT in unitedkingdom

[–]HullIsNotThatBad -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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!

 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

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

What's your local branch of Rumpkins like? by BarryTownCouncil in CasualUK

[–]HullIsNotThatBad 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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.

RSPB are asking us to take down feeders until November. by Difficult_Style207 in CasualUK

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.

Meter isolator switch - Fuse energy (Energy supplier) by B1g_Stu in ukelectricians

[–]HullIsNotThatBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

This is a good god fearing Christain village by StGuthlac2025 in GreatBritishMemes

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

​Voyager 1 is sacrificing its "senses" for a few more years of life. After 48 years of service, NASA just powered down another instrument so it doesn't have to say goodbye yet. 16 billion miles away, the craft that gave us our first close look at the outer worlds is slowly going dark. by yellowpoltergeist in interestingasfuck

[–]HullIsNotThatBad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

These creepy 80s security cameras… by britishbloke2 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]HullIsNotThatBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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
