It's not a caravan, it's a rather large amplified speaker on wheels :-) Owain Er, no. I have been asked to find prices for a replacment generator for a moblie first aid unit. One of the criteria is that it has to be able to supply a standard 2kW kettle |

They're OK when they're obviously running and noticeable, but as soon as you turn them off they sprout legs and walk 8-( I had to re-read that a couple of times because I couldn't figure out why you would need a bike chain. Then it clicked - you were referring to a security chain, not the one that your legs drive the back wheel with Andrew Do you need a handyman service?

The 2.6kVA Generac unit will do everythign that you want but it hits around 80dBA. Which is painfully loud if you stand near it. A Honda unit suppying 3KVA will be much quieter but will cost closer to £3,000 than £199 Eh, You can buy a Hilti 3KVA which will run kettle for £299 + vat from the Centre at Portsmouth. Steve |

It's summer time and windows are open at night. Couldn't figure why the normally quiet neighbours, behind us, had their radio/TV so loud! Wasn't them; t'was a public dance at the town owned/operated recreation centre tennis courts several kilometres away, in the opposite direction, on the other side of the town! Sound was bouncing off neighbours house into bedroom window! Sounds like they were having fun, all age groups. With tongue in cheek, must ask the mayor if there is a 'Noise by-law?' ("Some god awful racket t'other night Bob"). (-: (Yes I know smiley is other way round; for a change!) Terry. PS. Wasn't even the normally noisy neighbours across the street! Five youngsters, motor bikes in summer, ATVs (All terrain vehicles) or skidoos in winter. On the road yet! |

Takes me back to my acoustics course at University -- the unit of sound absorbtion is indeed measured in "square metres of open window", not that you'd appreciate that if you are outside said open window;-) The absolute unit isn't much use in practice, you usually end up using the unitless ratio. -- Andrew Gabriel |
