Ta very much. Water meter sensor gizmo.
I’ll sleep easy tonight.

The wiring goes through the wall towards the kitchen sink area, but the units cover up where it is connected to.
Any ideas?

It has got wiring to it….

It’s about a foot to the right of the gas meter box. I’ll unscrew it and have a look – looks more of a mount than a sensor to me.

It’s in the middle of the front wall of the house, about two foot from the ground.

If it’s caused by soap/oil gunge buildup from the kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, sink) get some One Shot from B&Q or online.
It’s a sulphuric acid mixture that works when the standard caustic/hypochlorite unblockers don’t.

It’s about £10 a bottle but works brilliantly.

Are people really still using the Daily Mail as their phrase of choice when trying to win an argument?

It’s 2011 not the 1990s. Tedious feckaz.

Funnier still is deliberately mis-spelling it as in “Daily Wail”. Oh my sides, stop, please, too, too funny.

Agreed.

The one rule about involving the audience on stage is that you don’t humiliate them. It’s not funny, it’s bullying.
It’s saying “I’m making this person feel small to amuse everyone else and make me look great”.

Plus iPhone users (which are basically the same deal) = 9.4%

Agreed it shows an increasing use of these devices and hopefully it will help speed up the change to HTML5 or whatever.

Not sure what the figure of those using the iPhone to actually shop is though.
90% of UK users (shoppers) use other means of accessing the internet.

Anyone know the figure globally?

Edit: just looked it up – 1%

99% of the world doesn’t use an iPad to view video on the internet…

If the trend continues hopefully all sites will be “forced” to use HTML5.

That means however (if I’ve done my maths right) at present, in the UK, iPad users account for 2.1% of people accessing the internet.

They are valid. But the point remains that they’ve brought out something that is too ahead of the accepted technology used by the majority of websites.

If 97% of people (going by the 3% web traffic figure above) are accessing my site’s video with a PC/Laptop, I know how bothered I’d be.

It’s a great piece of technology, just wish it was better that’s all.

tworide – I own an iPad. I know its limitations. It’s annoying.

It won’t play the most popular software for viewing video on today’s internet.

I’m going to lay the blame for that with apple not with the millions of sites that choose what software they want for videos etc.

No, that’s like saying it’s not my betamax player that is at fault it’s the film industry’s decision to go with vhs.

The player won’t play the most popular software for viewing video on today’s internet.

Can anyone tell me what is the car posted by Sawyer?

my sony freeview recorder is brilliant bravia synch means it all interfaces and runs thru 1 remote for my tv, pvr and ps3, menus are super slick too
edit sony do freesat tvs too

That sounds good, I’ll look into it.
Have you used Sky’s boxes in the past, for comparison?

For me, it’s an age related issue. I’m old enough to be irritated when I can’t view something due to the lack of Flash support.
If I was younger and more adaptable, I probably wouldn’t mind searching for an alternative website.

Take the BBC News website. The app for this is too restrictive.
If I use the normal website, I go to the sports section and am unable to view any of the videos. Very annoying.

Big difference between Sky and Freesat (at least at the moment) is the quality of the hardware and software of the PVR boxes.
Sky’s HD box is pretty faultless and works beautifully.

My experience of Freesat and other PVR boxes is that the interface is usually quite clunky in comparison.

As soon as this changes, I’ll make the switch – I’ll need some convincing though.

Best tip for Dyson owners:

Replace the “lifetime” filter once a year or even every 6 months. They’re about £12 online.

Google Dr Claire Weekes – best literature I ever read on the subject.

I can second this recommendation.
Helped me years back when I went through something similar.

NEWSNIGHT. Get informed expert comment on 21st century urban rioting by interviewing historians of the Tudor period.

Most importantly because if it does work, if it is helpful we can start to use it on more people and therefore make the world a better place. However…. if it doesn’t work, if it is largely the placebo effect, if it is used to treat self limiting conditions, we should be aware of its limitations and be able to make sensible decisions with regard to other treatments.

I agree entirely with this. I too am a Ben Goldacre fan.
It’s just that sometimes there creeps into people’s arguments a sneering, condescending tone that does nobody any good.

5th tadpole: if it makes you feel better that’s great, but don’t tell me it’s medicine, thanks.

Which tadpole called it medicine?
Can’t see anyone calling it medicine.

An open mind means accepting that although things may seem to be cobblers it’s a good idea to be agnostic about things.

Why do people believe they need absolutes in order to rest their minds?

Two tadpoles in a pond:

1st tadpole: since I started the Bowen technique I’m feeling much better.
2nd tadpole: you realise it’s not based on any proven science and trials suggest it’s mainly placebo effect?

1st tadpole: but i DO feel better. What is your reason for saying this to me?
2nd tadpole: because I’m more interested in stating my superior intelligence than worrying whether you’re feeling better or not.

Some bloke in a pub told me that the last decade has been fairly flat as far as temperature change is concerned. Lots of peaks and troughs but averaging out to no change.

If the next decade shows the same unchanging temperature do we start to question the collected data and predictions or wait longer?

And by the way, if a mate of mine says this down the pub, it’s good enough for me and everyone else, so don’t ask me for any actual evidence. Ok?

Still too cold/grey for August though. I’ve only got approximately another 30 summers and I want, no I DEMAND, that they all be like 1975 or whenever it was that it was really hot.

Global Warming, I’d welcome it! (joke, calm down).

We’ve had some French guests over and they were amazed at the fruit and veg with “honesty boxes” outside peoples’s houses.
Also, they were very impressed with children’s toys in play areas inside churches.
Both things they say would be stolen in France. Sweeping statement and surely exaggerated but made me feel a little proud nonetheless.

They see us as very honest and trusting, even amid the rioting/looting!

Oh, oh, oh

I try not to read too much into the tone of posts on the interweb because it’s easy to misread, but I think your post was basically saying “if the experts can’t predict it, why do you think you can?”.

Whoa! That’s much too reasoned a response on this or any other forum.
I salute you, sir.

In fact, I think this may be the beginning of an internet forum crash.
Black Saturday, I will never forget this day.

@The Flying Ox

“whoosh”

…and you had all that time copying and pasting the image to realise.

Hopefully they’ll do another series and just have the “News” bit and nothing else.
That way we’ll have more of the three real-life Saxondale’s on seats smacking their lips and making cringing sentence structures to a roomful of sycophantic morons.

Love cars, hate Top Gear.

Posting the letter is wrong and the contents are unnecessary.
However, as someone said above, noise is a tricky issue.

Where we used to live noise travelled very easily and just having people talking at a normal level outside our house was aggravating at times.

Our neighbours were very nice and they were just going about their life in a normal way – kids in the garden, chatting with friends as they left in the evening. Nothing unacceptable at all.

It was still annoying to us though.

This explains AV perfectly (starts at 1min 40secs)

That is indeed food for thought, but still conjecture at the moment.

I’ll leave it there as I have fundamentally different opinions to you about “walking past three kids giving one kid a good kicking and doing absolutely nothing about it”

Trite and facile example, I know, but for me gets to the crux of whether there should or should not be any intervention.

The UK force are acting in obvious breach of UN resolution and they killed a load of civilians the other day.

Give me the evidence of the “obvious” breach.

As Zulu said:

ii) can you please Identify a specific non military target that has been deliberately attacked by the coalition

If you have no evidence then it is just conjecture, not fact.

I’d love at least “ok, I was wrong in that assertion, but….” from TandemJeremy

Come on, do it, do it. No-one’s that ridiculously stubborn, are they?

Oh and for the record, it was me that double-tapped Osama.
Good enough credentials?

A true test of English patriotism is measured by how you say “patriot”.

“Pattriot” = English
“Paytriot” = US

Got an iPad and find the lack of Flash support irritating. Others don’t, but I do.
I don’t want to limit any of my internet experience and “use other non-flash sites” as is constantly stated on here.

It is still a great piece of technology, but I am old enough to be irritated when it doesn’t display simple pictures or video due to Flash.

Yes there are Apps for popular sites but I still prefer the standard ones – for instance the BBC news.

I am seemingly in the minority with this view though.

Perhaps the engine is now run in…….

Switch back to 95 ron for a few months and see if mileage reverts to old figure.

Well, the car had 55K on the clock when I got it and now it has 72K. I reckon that’s run in enough.

cos your driving style has differed? because you’ve done different driving? because you’re filling the neck of the fuel tank as well as the tank? because traffic is lighter? because the weather is better? because its warmer?

there’s nothing, at all, in science that could make your car more efficient with 98ron fuel. you may as well wear a bracelet with a magnet in

I hear what you’re saying and I’m sure you’ve got your petrochemical/combustion science correct.
However, as I said above, my commute has not changed in traffic density, distance or route. I don’t use the car at the weekends, we use another one.

I drove for 6 months on 95 ron and now 10 months on 98 ron. The mileage I’m getting is different.

…so why is my car lying to me and telling me I’ve covered 365 commuter miles with 98 ron against the 330 commuter miles i used to get with 95 ron?
