Ask for some personal recommendations and previous client's you can talk too and go to see his work. From his web site: "we are recognised as a manufacturer-approved installer across the UK" Ask what manufacturer's has approved him as an installer? Then contact that manufacturer to verify.

T-shirts now there is an issue, why do most US guys roll up the sleeves of a short sleeved T-shirt? 🙄

Been very entertaining, but a waste of space, time this thread was closed IMO.

1) Power Limit. I think the 13A plug facility on most newer hobs is to allow fitting of an electric hob into older house's that don't have a suitable dedicated cooking circuit. 2) Cookware test. I found with most induction hobs if you put the pan on the cooking zone and turn on that zone, if it...

Er what he said. 🙄

You have to decide what your priority viewing is, planet observing and deep space nebula require different tubes, plus bird observing (close quarters) is different again once you have set your priority you can then make a choice, I would suggest planetary observation (moon) in the fist instance...

The diagram shows the alternate configuration for a single phase supply using a bridge to a two phase supply using a 50/50 split how many rings on each phase is irrelevant unless you are trying to balance the phase with another appliance, but irrelevant to the hob wiring.

If that was the case two of the rings would not work, assuming a four ring hob.

Timber Gate and Fence posts rot at ground level where Oxygen and water can get to the timber, prevention at ground level is essential, anyone who has dug up rotted timber post can attest too that.
