This was a sheltered housing scheme in Nottingham. We look after the
communal TV system. The last time we were there was because the mains sockets in the hallways had been changed by the electricians for ones with keys so that the tenants can't plug scooters in (how mean is that?). They'd installed these sockets in the old back boxes and there wasn't enough room so the cables were crushed and shorted out. TV was off for 5 days last time and it's happened again. This time the electrician was installing these new sockets in surface mounted steel backboxes and he managed to blow all the fuses leaving them with no TV. When we switched the RCD back on one of the tenants saw sparks flying out of the front of one of the mains sockets. I think it was a bit of a shock for the old lady on her scooter when the wall started sparking! Electricians that can't even install mains sockets without ****ing it up! One of the old ladies threatened to sue both us and the housing association cause she'd missed 5 days of TV last time, seriously. Gave her a right ear full in front of some other tenants. They later told me that she's a well-known crack pot. Bill |

Pretty well all homes have people who watch TV for much of the day and are fully licenced for TV use - does it not cover on-line use, just as a domestic licence does? BTW, the rules have changed, you now need a licence for BBC catch-up , not just for live TV. SteveW |

@googlegroups.com, says... The real fault is with whoever allowed a critical system (ie telly) to be powered of a circuit shared by sockets accessible to untrained persons. (Even if the monkeys who broke things are nominally trained persons.) It might not even be safe even if it is given its own feed! In 1969 I went to work on a Cable TV system for The London Stock Exchange - 22 channels displaying live market prices. This was in the days of the great GPO monopoly and they provided all the trunk feeds - we were only responsible for internal distribution in the buildings themselves. The GPO feed was usually in the basement and was powered from a dedicated unmetered feed. The GPO were still commissioning the system and instances occured where the signals were lost. There was no possibility of running round the City of London in a vehicle - everything was done on foot. As the system wasn't live, there were no useful phone calls from users who'd lost their service so the only option was to tramp back along the trunk route until the failure was located. Level Measuring Sets with the required level of accuracy were heavy in those days - we used the same kit as the GPO, so I can attest to this from personal experience - so these outages wwre far from popular for more than one reason! Invariably, these outages were found to be caused by mains failure. In their wisdom, the LEB had provided these feeds with switched spurs. In those days, most large buildings in the City had Housekeepers who usually had a flat on site. The Housekeeper would walk around after everyubody had left for the day, checking that all was well. If they included the basement in their tour, the neon on the switched spur instantly attracted attention, so they'd switch it off! This became such a regular occurence that we got our own electricians to visit every building and swap the switched spur for an unswitched one and all the problems stopped! -- Terry --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

The problem here is that there's nowhere else to charge the scooters. If the scooter is taken into the flat it just about fills the hallway and makes it difficult to get to the kitchen or to exit the flat. If the tenants park the scooter in the corridor just outside the flat they are told it's a fire hazard. The corridors are very wide. A scooter would not be an obstruction. There is maintained lighting. The real fault is with whoever allowed a critical system (ie telly) to be powered of a circuit shared by sockets accessible to untrained persons. (Even if the monkeys who broke things are nominally trained persons.) Bull**** of the 1st degree.* It's just lots of sockets on one circuit. No, it's basic bad practice to put the TV system on a shared circuit. It can cause all sorts of problems. Bill |

Since when did TV become an important circuit?* Sure, keep the heart monitors on a seperate circuit, but TV?* Come on.... The TV system serves a wide area at some complexes. A system serving 400 dwellings, hospital beds, or cells, is 400 times more important than an aerial serving one dwelling. TV is especially important for the housebound, those stuck in hospital, or those incarcerated. Many TV systems also carry pictures from CCTV cameras, so if the system goes off security is compromised. Because of poor radio reception indoors in some places many people use the system for FM, DAB or radio via Freesat. If there's a spell of really bad weather or another semi-emergency people need local radio. Bill |

Well a moped is actually a moterbike that can be peddaled hence the name motor-pedal so that's pretty much a fixed description. Scooters aren't designed to be manually driven via pedals. Mopeds could also be driven at a younger age, due to being pedal cycles with an engine added. Scooters never had this option. I don't think that is true unless yuo;re refering to unpowered scooters. People also ask How old do you have to be to ride a scooter? If you're 16 years of age or older, and if your moped is not capable of driving faster than 20 MPH, you can ride without a license. To operate a motorized scooter you must be at least 16 years old and carry either an instruction permit or driver's license. |
