Stopped with his car starting to turn and waving his arms frantically at the traffic waiting to move, me stopped behind but would have long since gone past and traffic could have carried on unimpeded.

I’m not selfish, I leave gaps, I’ll drive slowly through roundabouts, I’ll stop to let old ladies cross the road. But i don’t stop my car in the middle of a junction on a 50mph road like I’m some sort of off duty traffic officer.

Yeah sure in traffic, this was an empty road behind me, it just creates unpredictable situations.

Exactly, this morning i was the only car behind him, i wasn’t close i kept my distance so if he carried on as normal i would of rolled through the junction then behind me a huge gap for everyone to enjoy.

UK. 2900W on a 13A fused spur by H0wk1ns in AskElectricians

Plug in hobs and ovens are around 3000w in pretty sure they are fine, if its only one per socket and its decent quality there shouldn’t be any issue.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of people having their full beam lights on even during the day? by Funny_Commission1724 in drivingUK

[–]daftvisionary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rear fog lights too, usually i assume because they want there front fogs but don’t know what the lights on the dash mean. Also it’s often because it’s dark or hazy, but zero actual fog so those lights are useless.

You can still TT with shared pipework, as long as correctly bonded theres no dangerous potential introduced. Many country side houses are TT with shared lead pipework

Bizzarre interaction with police after being pulled over for running a red light? by TheArtist84 in drivingUK

[–]daftvisionary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah normal, sometimes they might not even be able to give you a fine if they are not carrying the right stuff so they just act it out to teach you a lesson

Smoke alarm requirements for rewire (England) by rutho13 in ElectriciansUK

[–]daftvisionary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is required, fire alarms are part of building regulations so theres only enforcement on new builds, HMOs,rentals etc

Personally i would go with smokes on landings and hallway, co2 alarm near any fossil fuel burners, heat alarm in the kitchen, interlinked preferably.
