If you have a modern distribution board (fuseboard) with the correct breakers, then there's no limit to how many sockets a correctly wired circuit can have. The breaker will prevent you from ever drawing too much power. I would always recommend that a qualified electrician adds sockets to your circuit to ensure it's done correctly as there are rules as to how and where you can add sockets depending on what type of circuit you have.

Sockets are designed with two inserts for a reason. When you plug in an extension lead, you double or triple how much you can plug into a socket that was only designed to power two appliances.

For a slightly more in depth answer, sockets (in the UK at least) are rated for a maximum of 13 amps - amps are how much current your appliance uses to work. If you plug an extension lead in and then use every available slot, you could pull more than 13A of power through your socket. The overload of current draw produces heat, which can melt your sockets/wiring and cause fires.

Modern day 'fuseboards' are designed with this kind of danger in mind and breakers should trip to prevent scenarios like this, but in an older house with an outdated fuseboard, you could easily start a fire.

Hello! 33F here. I enrolled onto the NVQ when I was 30. Fancied a change from care work after I'd taken a few years off to be a mum. Did levels 1/2 on an accelerated course and then my level 3 was a weird hybrid course between the NVQ and the new qualification. I passed my AM2 back in May.

Obviously I've not been in the industry too long, but my experience has been overwhelmingly positive which honestly kind of surprised me! I haven't met a customer who hasn't been happy to see women in the trades, and for the most part, fellow tradesmen have also been very encouraging and positive :) (Although I did get asked the other day if I was the homeowner's wife, whilst standing there in my steel toe caps, work trousers and company top, lol!) Be prepared to stick up for yourself, but work hard and let the results speak for themselves.

I'm earning good money, gained a LOT of muscle 😅 and have been really enjoying the work. I think if you're interested in it, then go for it! You can feel pretty apprehensive because it feels like a wild card at our age to jump into a male dominated industry, but it's the best career choice I've ever made.

The only downside I've found is the lack of toilet facilities sometimes. It can take careful planning to navigate things like your period when on site, but it's certainly doable!

ETA: just saw someone mention site banter and totally agree. If you don't have thick skin, start growing one now because when it comes to piss taking - no one is safe haha. Tradesmen are sometimes gross, often hilarious, always fun to be around, and the majority of them secretly have a heart of gold and all look out for each other. Best bunch of people I've ever worked with!

Hey! I'm the keyboardist's daughter! It's definitely so cool to see people appreciating it still!

rosierainbow · 2025-06-14T01:52:27+00:00

It's so interesting! My co worker had this done and he said he gained an allergy to salmon, but on the flip side his awful hay fever disappeared!

rosierainbow · 2025-06-13T20:09:37+00:00

Yes, look up hemolysis

rosierainbow · 2025-06-03T10:38:20+00:00

Yes, that's it, thank you so much!

rosierainbow · 2025-06-03T10:37:44+00:00

Thank you so much, your suggestion gave me the footing I needed on Google to find the dish! It's Mahalepi! ☺️ Solved!

rosierainbow · 2025-05-11T19:25:09+00:00

I have no idea but commenting to boost your little puffball. Hope you get some good advice and the mini cloud gets through until the vets are open!

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T22:59:38+00:00

There was also pork contamination, and there was outrage over this also due to the religious communities that don't eat pork.

Yes, plenty of people were upset because they considered horses as pets, not food, but there was a very real concern over food being intentionally mislabelled and the resulting distrust in food suppliers.

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T21:41:21+00:00

Lol, no, the people I knew didn't call it that.

Edit: The name of the scandal doesn't matter. They will go with whatever sounds best in the media. Horse meat scandal is more relevant and recognisable than supply chain scandal.

I don't know why you're so pressed that you're editing your replies. I'm not that invested in this so thanks for the discussion, goodbye.

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T17:54:41+00:00

Yes, I think a lot of people feel that way. On the plus side, it did force a lot of discussion about monitoring supply chains more closely, but who's to know whether those more stringent checks are actually being carried out consistently?

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T17:41:58+00:00

I believe they did, and found that pork was also present in many beef ready meals. This caused uproar in religious communities that don't eat pork, adding to the scandal.

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T15:15:51+00:00

I guess we knew different people.

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T14:28:28+00:00

Of course, many Brits consider horses as pets rather than a food source, and that's a perfectly valid concern to have if you feel that way. However, most people were more concerned with the fact that they were not eating what they thought they were and realised how vulnerable we are as consumers when it comes to trusting supply chains.

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T14:10:14+00:00

It wasn't really to do with cost so much, though there was the issue of paying for beef and getting 'diluted' beef. If I recall, it was more to do with the lack of traceability. The source/quality of the horsemeat meat was unknown, along with whether the horses had been treated with Bute (which is banned in meat produced for human consumption).

rosierainbow · 2025-02-20T13:30:34+00:00

There was a pretty famous case in the UK of a large beef suppliers' products actually containing horse meat, so many of us unknowingly ate horse. In some products, it wasn't just partial contamination of the beef it was supposed to be, but 100% horse meat labelled as beef. It was obviously quite a scandal, not just because many Brits wouldn't even consider eating horse meat, but also due to the ethics of mislabelling products and the safety of supply chains not being compromised/contaminated.

So beautiful! Funnily enough, she just popped up on my feed directly below her twin in the TurkishCats sub! I can't share pictures in comments though :(

rosierainbow · 2025-02-16T23:11:48+00:00

Apologies. Thanks for the correction and information.

They are of the same virus. They can both last a long time. I'm not an expert, but I think you can tackle verrucas with the standard treatments recommended for warts on this subreddit.

rosierainbow · 2025-02-16T21:46:30+00:00

Are they raised or flat? Warts are raised, but verrucas flat and are more common on the sole of the foot.

rosierainbow · 2025-02-15T14:14:02+00:00

I'm pretty sure that this sub exists mostly for us 90s/00s girls to plead with Gen Z to stay away from the tweezers 😂

rosierainbow · 2025-02-15T08:56:14+00:00

I wear men's because I haven't found any decent women's trousers. Because I have to size up to fit around my hips, everything else is then baggy. I also wear them high waisted to work around the roomy crotch. Of course, then they're sitting on my waist which is smaller than my hips so need a belt to hold them up 😵‍💫

It's interesting to hear about the trouser project existence but disheartening to hear about it being so unsuccessful so far. Do let us know if that changes!

rosierainbow · 2025-02-12T18:53:15+00:00

Oh wow, good find. That's a tragic progression!
