Had a blow out with a radiator heater under a year old and electrician fixed the problem saying it is quite common now.
Next day I discovered that adjacent fixed double plug in wall is not working. My son-in-law had a look and established that there is power but when putting cover on nothing works. The items are now connected to other plugs in flat and all work. He says it is the first time he came across this problem. Any idea or help appreciated.
PS: I am astounded how much electricians now charge per hour.

"For so many years, people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike,"

Donald Trump posted this recently, and is wondering if we've noticed the similarity.

Which are completely unfounded as Covid is no longer life threatening.
Soon, if you want a Covid booster vaccine, you will have to go to Superdrug and pay £100 for it.
Complete waste of money and highly risky having a vaccine with so many fatal side effects.

An investor has been following the steadily falling price of Oil and when he believes it has reached rock bottom he buys 10,000 barrels at 70p a barrel.
Sadly for him the price continues to fall and reaches 50p a barrel, so what is his smart move:-
1) Sell ASAP and cut his losses.
2) Hang on and hope/wait for the price to recover.
3) Any other,--specify.

It's the last day of the National Lottery today as run by Camelot.
I won £10 on the very first draw in November 1994, so going to buy £10s worth for tonight's final draw. Hopefully I might win at least a lucky dip.
Tomorrow a new company, Allwyn, takes over. Don't expect any changes for about a year, but they are reviewing the cost of a ticket, to reduce from £2 to £1.

And no claims of mental illness or previous convictions

Absolutely appalling and after he killed her he picked his child up from school as if nothing had happened . His wife is standing by him!

Didn’t realise how serious this was taken in the UK

Looked it up after seeing it on David and Jays touring tool shed on the Iplayer

Think it’s on BBC 2’s episode 5 tomorrow (Friday) at 6.30pm

I’ve got a bit ahead with all episodes available on the Iplayer. It’s nice to see David Jason and hear of his interest in fixing all types of items. But it makes me scared of looking in the mirror seeing how much he has changed! He is a few years older than me I hasten to add 🙄

Back in 2016 there was a concern raised about these glasses not being of genuine assistance at all

https://www.aop.org.uk/ot/industry/high-street/2016/11/09/bbc-watchdog-investigates-blue-light

Again in 2021 it was revealed that they are useless

ROSENFIELD: Both of the studies actually found that the blue-blocking filters have no effect, no significant effect on digital eye strain. This didn't really come as a major surprise to us because there really is no mechanism whereby the blue light should be causing digital eye strain.21 Feb 2021

Then

CLEVELAND – If you've been thinking about buying some of those blue light glasses that claim to help with eye strain, you may want to hold off. Research shows they don't actually work.15 Dec 2023

Today on BBC it revealed how so many more shops/opticians are now promoting and selling them even though there is evidence to prove they are not needed, or of any use.

Have you bought them? Been convinced by the blurb on websites or by staff at Boots, Specsavers, VisionExpress,

Sounds awful

Like the majority of people I know that Sadiq Khan's ULEZ scheme is just a cash cow and nothing to do with pollution. So I was supportive of the so called Bladerunners who have been putting the ULEZ cameras out of action.
But with their latest act of vandalism, I think they have gone too far.

Do they think the public should be grateful, price goes up in Autumn to spring when we use the most and down when we use the least . Just so they can say to the government that they lower it when supply prices go down. 🤔🤔🤔

I've just received an email, supposedly from the National Lottery asking me to update my contact details.
It was from
The National Lottery
It includes a link to update your account.
Looking at the source code of the email it leads to
https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/sign-in
Which seems correct.
If this is genuine, and I'm not convinced it is, then someone at the National Lottery deserves a severe kick up their output port.
They should never never never send out an email like that.
If they need people to update their accounts send them an email asking them to log into their accounts as normal and do so.
They should never include a link like that.
OK, rant over.
