Today was not a good day to fit outside lights at Tescos in York:-(
Anyone else noticed the rain and flooded roads? York was not too bad but the
onward journey was a bugger when I got to Thorne. Mind you it was only three 500W £5 a go PIR halogens that I fitted. Now that it's dark I expect that at least one of the lamps will have failed. It will cost them more to replace the lamps than fit proper lights. -- Adam |

Especially if they use Tesco Lightbulbs - have you seen how much they charge - must be in the distress purchase at 10pm on a Saturday night category. Owain Well somebody has to pay for the 'special offer' of 10p a litre off their fuel (as per a thread some way below this one)- and it isn't going to be the company! |

We could have a competition to see who has the most Not sure I'd win that. I did go to a company down in Sussex who were a kind of permanent hardware 'boot sale' and bought a large box of the things, not realising that I was already accumulating plenty. But bought three servers and they all came with mains cable I won't use (and with cable with two pin plugs as well). -- Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org *lightning protection* - a w_tom conductor |
