If it is anything like the system they just opened in Jerusalem, you can't.

With the Jerusalem system you can buy a ticket on a bus, you can buy a
ticket at the central bus station and you can buy a ticket at most stops
from a vending machine.

Once you are on the train there is no way to buy a ticket. There is a $50
fine if you are caught without one and some of the inspectors have been
fining people who had tickets that were supposed to be, but were not valid
due to an unadvertised change, when the ads all said there wasn't any.

If you go to one of the places they issue cards, you can get one with
your picture on it, which will reduce the price if you are a senior citizen,
student or disabled and you can buy a reduced price multi-trip ticket
or monthly pass which is recorded on the card.

I expect it is the same there too because the company which operates the
rail lines is either the same one or their competition.

Geoff.


There are no ticket vending machines at most stops. There are terminus
stations where you can pay your fair and probably some kind of 'rover'
ticket, but between stations there are just halts.
Belgium and Holland are pretty laid back places.

On the buses you just pay the driver or wave your pass, just like here
in good old Blighty.

That's the usual explanation for driving on the left in Roman times. Some
say it was Napoleon who decreed driving on the right, some say it was the
Pope.


Which Pope?

Incidentally, I was at a presentation about Barbados the other day, and
was told that it's not possible to hire a car in Barbados due to the
previous amount of traffic accidents involving hire cars. They drive on
the left, and the majority of tourists are American and can't get used to
driving on that side. I myself prefer to drive down the middle


The problem I have in driving in the US is not driving on the right but the
unfamilaiar roadsigns and rules of the road. The very first time I drove in
the US I had just got off a direct flight from London to San Franscisco and
had to drive from there to a small town in Northern California via some
narrow, twisting mountain roads. To add to the fun I was navigating using a
rather poor map, I'd been awake for 24hrs and the light was fading fast. I
was never more glad to arrive unscathed at my destination!

Indeed. As I said, how many homes will have a plug in appliance that draws
more than 13 amps so needs the fuse shorted out?

I'd say it's restricted to things like some welders and compressors -
which a keen DIYer might buy.

The best bit of electrical horror I encountered (and very nearly gave myself
a shock with) was the extension lead on my grandpa's mower: it had a
two-prong plug on the extension lead and a two-prong socket on the mower.
Wrong! That left the live pins exposed. OK, I know I should have unplugged
at the wall before disconnecting the mower from the extension lead to
untangle the cable. To spare his blushes, I quietly rewired it with the
socket on the extension lead and the plug on the mower while he wasn't
looking.

I used to see it a couple or three times a year back when I repaired
group gear, often on HT fuses in valve amplifiers, and back when 20mm
fuses started to become common in equipment, but not common in toolboxes.
It still amazes me that most musicians don't carry spare fuses around
with them.

It is not really cold until the temperature is below -10 degrees Celcius.

The important thing to consider though is the presence of any wind,
resulting in a wind chill effect, and the humidity.

Very humid conditions at 0 degrees C or so usually feels far worse
than say -10 degrees C when it is crisp and dry.

Ah yes, well that is what happens if you look a bit sunburnt,
wear a thick jacket with wires coming out of it, and leap over

You can see the evidence that the Metropolitan Police deliberately

Remember that Greater London Mayor Kenneth Livingstone continued to

Incidentally it should be pointed out that there is growing list
of evidence that the shooting was not in fact carried out by
Metropolitan Police officers but was actually a military action
by the Special Reconnaissance Regiment.

http://web.archive.ORG/web/20051204000850/http://www.sundayherald.com/51372

It is alleged that the Metropolitan Police took the heat as having done
the actual shooting because the FauX LaboUr administration did not want
the public to know about the new role of the Special Reconnaissance Regiment
in anti-terrorist activity.

their left arms as shown in most pictures from the time, then if they
pass right to right, you can make the road at least a foot narrower, as
the shields can overhang the edge of the road, but would collide if the
groups passed left to left.

I've also read that Napoleon wanted to (a) confuse the opposition, and

To be honest I doubt that. I would imagine that the "pass to the left" rule
was started when Rome was still just a city state and those to whom it
applied were mainly pedestrians within the city of Rome itself. Then it
would have spread with the Empire as there would be no reason to change it.
But, unless a Roman document entitled "reasons for passing to the left" ever
comes to light we'll never know for sure :-)

I've also read that Napoleon wanted to (a) confuse the opposition, and (b)
prove that France was so civilised that travellers didn't need easy access

Well again, unless Napoleon left documentary evidence of his reasoning his
reasons will have died with him.

I remember my Dad telling me that traffic in Vienna (but not the rest of
Austria) still drove on the left right up to the Nazi occupation as it was
going to be too expensive to convert the tram system. Adolf, of course,
didn't care about the expense.

took a while to adjust.

using an auto box was easy enough.


I've driven manual gearbox cars on mainland Europe (LHD) and I learned

Incidentally, I was at a presentation about Barbados the other day, and
was told that it's not possible to hire a car in Barbados due to the
previous amount of traffic accidents involving hire cars. They drive on
the left, and the majority of tourists are American and can't get used
to driving on that side. I myself prefer to drive down the middle


You remind me of a comment made by Raymond Baxter on Top Gear, back when
it was a motoring programme: he described some car as being "for the
middle-of-the-road driver", without realising what he'd said. (No, it
wasn't a Chieftain tank.)

Well the BS1362 fuse certainly isn't the same shape as any screw, since
screws taper to a point, nor is it the shape of any bolt, unless you cut
the head off the bolt. As for round bar, well it would have to be the same

For the last 20 years I have PAT tested every mains electrical item
submitted to a charity auction that is held twice a year in the village

that the bare live wire shows through, a standard lamp (with a brass
fitting) wired up with two-core bell-wire, flexes extended using a bit of
choc-block wrapped in insulating tape, broken plugs, mis-wired plugs,
plugs with the cord-grip either missing or incorrectly used etc. But I've
only ever had one example of a plug with anything other than a BS1362 fuse
in it, and that had a few turns of 5A fuse-wire wrapped round the prongs
of the fuse-holder. So I don't buy this idea that people are putting
screws, bolts or bits of metal rod into plugs in any significant numbers
at all. Its *so* much easier to nick a fuse from another appliance than to
start looking for bits of metal that will fit!


How about 13A plug fuses for low wattage appliances such as radios and
lamps? Or wouldn't you regard that as a fault? (I wouldn't, as I regard the
purpose of a plug fuse to blow in the event of a dead short in the flex.)

As indeed it is. If the device (like a radio) needs fuse protection within
itself, it should have its own fuse. Exactly as it would have when fed
from an unfused plug.

I suspect if starting with a clean sheet now far more sophisticated
circuit breakers etc are affordable, things might be different.

Its enough to get the item a "fail", though my solution is to change the
fuse, not withdraw the item from sale as I do with the real horrors. The
longer that time passes since the law that required new items to have
factory-fitted plugs the fewer examples of this I see.

Can't be arsed to read the regs of a forgien country, we have enough

Indeed I was. My comments were in the context of Jerry's assertion that
screws, bolts, metal rod etc. are commonly found instead of fuses in BS1361
plugs. As you say equipment fuses are far more varied in terms of size,
rating and rupture characteristic. They also tend to be a lot more expensive
than the readily available BS1362 fuse.

BTW did anyone here ever come across the alternative design for a UK fused
plug? I only met one once, it had round pins and looked fairly similar to
the old 15A plug, but the live pin *was* the fuse. The fuse had a threaded
stud on one end and simply screwed into the face of the plug to form the
live pin. I guess it was a different designer's take on the same design
brief that lead to the BS1361 plug. At least if we had gone with that
design it would have been much harder to bypass the fuse!

Indeed, indeed, and one can't help but notice the melee mouthed

for over heating of a radial circuit due to a loose connection,
sorry twit but the same risks apply to rings - more so as they
are more heavily loaded by design.

One of the alternatives to the now standard 13 amp plug which was around
from about the start of the final ring circuit. Made by D&S and used by
some councils in their estates. They love to be different. ;-)

Used by the BBC too from about the mid '50s for a couple of decades for
the technical supply in studios etc. To prevent accidental use for none
technical equipment.

They were a horrible design. The fuse could work loose, and remain
sticking out of the socket when the plug was removed. They also had a very
poor cable clamp - merely a rubber grommet.

Perhaps not 1amp but 3amp is common. But heck were back to

Assuming that the BS1363 plug is actually fitted with a fuse and
not a twist of wire, a lump of metal bar or the shank of a screw
or bolt... As I keep saying, and Plowman keeps refusing to
address, the sort of bodge (by a end-user who might not
understand the risks), that is not possible -or at least a dammed
sight more difficult to do- with radial circuits were the lead is
protected at the panel rather than plug.

Err, what frecking cheek, Plowman is the one who keeps quoting
the theory, living in that perfect world were idiots are banned.
As for "Diversity" that in it's self is a bodge, it actually
acknowledges that a ring can be overloaded and thus one has to
guess to circuit loading the real world might bring and then if
needs be increase the number of ring circuits.

:

Wrong, ring circuits are acceptable in offices and workshops but
the regs limit the total number of outlets on each ring.

:

Not just for heating, the 17th edition [1] has likely increased
the use of radials being used for freezers, fridges and other
circuits/loads were it is unwise to allow unmonitored
disconnections due to the RCD being tripped due to faults
elsewhere or even 'non faults'... But then, unlike Plowman, I
have always been in favour of supplying such appliances via
dedicated radials, ho-hum, could the worm be turning, could
people like Plowman be eating their own archived words come the
18th edition?!

[1] for those outside the UK, that refers to the current UK
wiring regs

As others have pointed out in this thread, not just bits of bolts

By your rational, because you (personally, as likely as not) have

Did I say commonly found, perhaps you would care to point out
were I said so, IIRC I said it is possible. Going on to say that
it is far more difficult for a like minded person to bridge out a
breaker at the panel.
