The mortgage balance, on Chez Kev, is now zero. That's quite exciting

[PanBiker]

Indeed Kev, we paid ours off when I was made redundant, that was 19 years ago now.

Well done Kev! I remember when we finished paying for Hey Farm.... A bloke asked me why I looked so cheerful and when I told him why he said I was a lucky bugger. I'm afraid I gave him the rough edge of my tongue. I said luck had nothing to do with it! Where was he when I was doing over 80 hours a week.... Answer, in the pub!

See THIS report on 'Britain's Kindest Plumber'......
A firm run by a man dubbed "Britain's kindest plumber" breached multiple fundraising rules, a year-long investigation by a regulator has found. Depher Community Plumbing and Heating CIC, founded by James Anderson, was investigated by the Fundraising Regulator following multiple complaints. The firm posted on social media about fitting free boilers for elderly and vulnerable people in Burnley, making Mr Anderson a viral sensation at the height of the UK's cost-of-living crisis. The posts brought in at least £2m in donations, but a BBC News investigation last year revealed some of the stories shared online had in fact been faked. The Fundraising Regulator has now confirmed it investigated 13 possible breaches of its code. Gerald Oppenheim, chief executive of the regulator, told the BBC: "Our investigation into Depher CIC found the organisation had committed eight breaches of the code of fundraising practice; particularly those provisions concerning misleading information, evidencing the claims made by the organisation, and ensuring that restricted funds were used for the claimed purpose."

We are struggling to find a non LED bulb for an outdoor motion sensor light. Can anyone recommend somewhere that I might find one? It needs to be a 60w ES bulb.

[Stanley]

I have 60 watt bayonet tungsten bulbs if they will do Wendy....

[Stanley]

I've just realised that ES equals Edison Screw...... Sorry Love, that I don't have.

[PanBiker]

Is there a reason why it has to be non LED? just about all lamps are now LED. Just checked on CPC (Farnell)

That's the problem Ian, everything is LED. Col has tried LED bulbs in the light but for some reason they fail within a few days. We are going to try again with an LED bulb, just incase the last ones were faulty.

[Tizer]

If you know the manufacturer's or retailer's name perhaps they could tell you if it should work with LED and if not what type of bulb to use and where to get it?

It's been up for years Tizer, I think the manufacturer's name will have disappeared into obscurity. What we really need is a new outside light, it's an ugly thing anyway! I have been up a ladder and put a new bulb in.

[Stanley]

"I have been up a ladder and put a new bulb in."
I can just imagine Col's reaction to that! I have an outside light like that Wendy but it takes a 500W tungsten halogen bulb and it has been up for ever!
What grabbed me was a message from Margaret showing her local weather forecast for Perth WA. 15C for today and 16C for the rest of the week. And I thought it was chilly here!
