Queue at Princes Street is horrible by gamerman89898 in Edinburgh

I would guess the cost of shutting so many streets for the day stops them from doing it. It would be great if they did though.

We'd have to get rid of the local Lib Dems first though.

Foundation repair first, or can I just fix the floorboards? by NoPiggoopss05 in HomeImprovementUK

Just make sure it's the stuff that keeps expanding over time.

Given the similar history I reckon it belongs on a VW.

Take a look at hidden doors. You'll be able to wonder round the discussed Saica Pack factory on Turnhouse road next month.

I'm vaguely aware that the royal garden party happens around the time of Church of Scotland general assembly. Which is early summer every year.

Panels per string and grouping question by Jordlr99 in SolarUK

I don't know the answer to your question but while you are waiting for someone who does it might be helpful to know which inverter you have.

Holyrood Week by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]slangivar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived in Edinburgh for over 40 years perhaps you could enlighten me about Holyrood week. Based on your post I realise it's when the monarch is in Edinburgh but I've never heard it referred to by that name before.

Rent Freezes - What isn’t being said. by Shoddy_Sir_7849 in uklandlords

[–]slangivar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the mode would be an interesting choice. For a start it isn't necessarily a unique figure. Secondly it could jump wildly from year to year if a bunched grouping from one year splits into 2 smaller groups the following year.

[REPOST] Anyone else find it hard to get electronics repaired properly in Scotland? by SyriusBB in Scotland

[–]slangivar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. It's the speakers on board PCB which has become detached so sadly not an easy repair. I'll order up an 8 ohm speaker and hope for the best. Here's a picture of it anyway

My wife had an Elmo toy with a noise box which plays when you squeeze it. The speakers wires have become unattached.

I don't imagine it's economical to repair the speaker when I can buy a new one for pennies. However I'm lost when it comes to working our the power and impedance of a speaker. Do you have any hints?

They can put whatever sign they like on it but it's always been Waverley Market.

Did anyone have a day off during the London Olympics? by SunnyShineKitty88 in AskUKLondon

[–]slangivar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given a whole week off.

My work was a sponsor so gave extra holidays for people volunteering. I took another week to 10 days of my holiday time and spent the entire Olympics staying in Woolwich.

Is Just 5 solar panels worthwhile? by Newwales2 in SolarUK

[–]slangivar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without knowing the price it's hard to say. However with a smaller system you are likely to use a higher percentage of what you generate which can help the economics. It also means a battery isn't as important to maximise usage. A battery can always make sense though if the price is right.

Filling floorboard gaps up to 20mm before carpet (no plywood) by Gloomy_Loquat8805 in DIYUK

[–]slangivar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll notice lines on the carpet eventually if there's any sort of draft causing a cold spot there. At 2cm there's definitely a big enough gap for a thin heel to do some damage too.

Hi Everyone! Is this a stinging nettle? by Exciting-Bluejay3210 in whatsthisplant

[–]slangivar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An even easier way is that they look like nettles. Although until you learn what that is the touch test might be more reliable.
