    Unfortunately, this is the reason that the rest of us have to mess around with getting Part P certification when we do anything to our own properties despite being more than adequately qualified (ie electrical engineers who have to pay an electrician to put a shower in).

    Very true quote – but rules are rules I suppose.
    I am and electrical engineer and have recently re-commissioned 2 132kV -11kV grid transformers and I am currently testing most of the protection on the 11KV ccts feeding B'ham city centre – yet after I replaced my wylex fuse board for an RCB prtected one – I need a spark to check out what I done

    Yea it is a bit crazy I am a qualified installation electrician ( and ex aircraft electrician) and I can do anything anywhere from factorys to domestic for any company and certify my own work and provide test documentation to prove safe etc

    But I am not part P registered so I cannot do my own place 🙄

    HTF does that work

    BTW the reason you 30a breaker does not trip immediatly is because breakers trip on a logrithmic time curve ie at 40 amps as you say about 5 minutes but at 80 amps about 3 seconds

    Please get it done properly electricity is dangerous stuff lets not talk worse case scenario, but if your place burns down due to a electrical fault and it is found that cables were overloaded insurance companys will wriggle like crazy and NOT pay up

    ok bear with me I have not ridden there for about 5 years

    Go (ride) out of Marlborough on the HackpenHill rd as you go past the common and drop down the hill on the S bends there is a track on the r/h side you cannot miss it this goes up to Barbury castle
    Get to the castle and go over the top of it
    then cross the road and follow the track to Hackpen Hill
    Cross the road and follow the track for about 3 miles when you come to a crossroads in the track right is to Avebury, go left over the fields to Fifield Down follow that track and it takes you back to Marlborough

    Not the best of riding but it is easily accessable 15 mile loop

    btw there is a club in swindon that would be worth a look they appear to be doing good things to the Croft Woods

    Ok time to come clean I have used you lads for a bit of info on good kits, because I have just started a market stall in Tiverton selling homebrew.

    Bigbloke not on line yet sorry, try a good local independant healthfood shop would be your best bet. Homebrew is infectious and well worth it give it a go

    A 5 galon brew bucket ( food grade plastic)
    Hydrometer
    stiring spoon
    thermometer
    syphon
    STERILISER ( this cannot be emphasised enough)

    I use a pressure barrel but PET bottles are ok

    Piece of pea honest

    First brew should be on the go for £35 for all the kit you need ( excluding botttles) and that will give you about 40 pints

    I have a Cotic Simple and wanted a Soul but over £300 differance between the two was a bit of a no brainer, So I got a 456 with no regrets what so ever.

    Yes I would like a soul but I am not unhappy with the 456

    Just for the record I have a set of Rev's and a set of SC 32's and niether is a bad fork for tracking imho

    But if I were in a situation where I could only have 1 fork it would be the Mav's cos they are so easy to service and play with

    Mind you I was born arse first 😳
