On, what happens if the switch trips when LL is away?

It's not a LL there, they rented it out, it's tenants. Answer would have to be: I'd have to phone the lettings agency (if I could find the right number in the dark) hope the office was open .... and wait.

What a morning! Real summer light, not spring light trying hard!

Lots of dew glistening. The birds are load enough to wake the dead.

I bet sun glasses were needed to look at your vajazzle

PN most spotlight bulbs have 2 little feet on thinner legs which go straight into holes and then you twist a few degrees so the legs are in a slot that is smaller than the 'feet' so they can not fall out. If they are then sunken in the ceiling generally the fittings wither pull out or pullout a bit at which point there is some sort of spring thing that needs squeezing.

SC Generally with kitchens there are different levels of posh but it does sound like you need to go for the 15k+ named level rather than the 3k cheap jobbie but I suspect you would get away without going for the 50k sort?!

They are three on a metal strip... I might take a photo one future day when I care enough....

So, new gas meter... 000000.
No idea who supplier is, not been kept in the loop of information. But, as a rough guide to "how much", when the meter hits 000001 how much is that likely to have costed?

Push bulb slightly into fitting whilst holding edge and twist a few degrees and then it shoudl pull straight out. Hold the replacement one with a tissue as oil from fingers will shorten the life considerably.

Depends on your tariff (high/low rate or flat rate) but the given a price for noral units of 4p inc VAT then it should be about 44p (also depends on calorific value of the gas supplied and assumes the new meter is metric and counts in metres cubed) but this is close enough.

(On a dual rate 'no standing charge' tariff the inital units each period may be much more)

I've never seen a meter reading 0.

What's a man vajazzle going to be called when it happens? I guess I could pop a peacock feather in the end and call it a cocktail.

I think chosen very carefully carcasses could be cheap, if work tops looked good and you upgraded to top level for sinks and handles etc.

We had a new electricity metre so saw a zero reading this year.
