Was that in the 70's?
Nope 2009
Was that in the 70's?
Happens remarkably frequently here out in the central sticks. There's a site at work that goes off 3-5 times per week for 30 seconds (exactly the time it takes for the isolator in the town to reclose) always at 0714 though. Have a UPS on my kit there solely for that.Was that in the 70's?
Really? Where do you live?Happens remarkably frequently here out in the central sticks. There's a site at work that goes off 3-5 times per week for 30 seconds (exactly the time it takes for the isolator in the town to reclose) always at 0714 though. Have a UPS on my kit there solely for that.
Had to Google brownout....never heard that phrase before.Well that site is in Peeblesshire - as per my location, I'm "near Englandshire". Had two power cuts at home in winter 2018/19 that lasted more than an hour - regular brownouts though.
Ah the good old 3 day week. I had just started working in the Oil &Gas industry, which had special rule re the 3 day week. We were allowed to use electricity if we were working on N Sea projects during a shutdown, mainly for lighting as we used drawing boards the heating was by gas boilers. So on days where no shutdown we worked on non N Sea stuff, ended up doing a 6 day week.I remember as a child all the power cuts we had in the 70's.
I was working for a regional daily newspaper at the time and we were exempt. At least, that's what the boss told us...Ah the good old 3 day week.
Can she not get someone else to help her? I know Sainsbury's are only doing home deliveries for those who have registered as vulnerable. They then give them priority. Alternatively perhaps a neighbour could help? I don't think you should risk your own health if there is any other alternative.As Mum was staying with a friend I had been staying in, she phoned me today to say she is back at home and wants me to do a shop for her. I told Mum she can wait till Monday as she knows I have to stay in for my own safety, so will go over on Monday do her shopping and tell her that`s it till lockdown has cleared off.

Awful decision to have to make. My wife is terrified of either giving her Dad or catching this virus from her Dad.Had sorted out Home help for Mum, but sadly once she went home she told them she does not need it as her son ( ME ) will help. Sadly I will NOT as I have to help my self by staying safe with me being in the High Risk group.

We had a food delivery yesterday, some of it was for her Dad so we took it up to him and practice social distancing by leaving it on his door step, waited till he opened his door, collected it and then went back in, would this work for you?
I think you need a stern word with your Mum . Literally your life could be at stake. If she has dementia then that complicates things - I do hope you can get something sorted.Don`t think anything will help as Mums neighbour who works for Tesco told her to do a list and put it through her letterbox and she`d do a shop for Mum. But she tells folk OH that`s fine my son will help, so I really have to look after my own health as my doctor has told me DO NOT go to help as I could easily catch it.

What was the problem?Tech not working, I dug my much hated Sony A6000 out of the cupboard and thought I'll try a few photos and send them on whats app to a few family members. After much wasted time and effort I've given up. This time I think the Sony may end up on eBay rather than collecting dust in the the cupboard . Rant over
Put it in the bin and move on....
Chuck the card in the bin/recycling and not give it a second thought, would be my advice
I really do feel that this CV thing should make us focus now and going forward on what's important. My take is your neighbors were being friendly in wishing you a happy Easter, take it as that but don't respond now or at Christmas and they may well get the message.
Move on.
Always listen to your wife.....best advice everIt went into the paper/cardboard recycle bag within 30 seconds.
Yes, you're both right,really so I'll go with that. Some things are better left unsaid. My wife will keep me on the straight and narrow too .She's usually right.. well, that's what she tells me.
I'll go and listen to Nolan on Radio Five-Live.
Thanks
Been doing that for 42 years, seems to be working so far.Always listen to your wife.....best advice ever
Except when she says no to buying camera gear...Always listen to your wife.....best advice ever
Don't think she ever has, she sometimes asks "what will it do that your existing stuff doesn't" but I honestly don't think she's ever said no to any spend on my various hobbies.Except when she says no to buying camera gear...
Mines neither, although she has been known to say, "once I get.....you can buy what you want"Don't think she ever has, she sometimes asks "what will it do that your existing stuff doesn't" but I honestly don't think she's ever said no to any spend on my various hobbies.
I have to justify it to myself and that's often harder than justifying bit to her.
