And there was me, naively assuming that this was engineering with yes-no answers. Ah well, all I glean from that was that there are valid arguments that a 9.5kw shower is fine on a 32 Amp breaker. Since mine is on a 40 amp breaker, and the sparks would have made sure that the breaker protected...

A bit like "I don't believe in astrology because I am a Leo and Leos are not gullible"

I never thought of the tolerance in the supply. I wonder what guarantees the power company give?

Nearest I can find is this:https://www.aqualisa.co.uk/media/amasty/amfile/attach/f9361d8c0c931589c8ee892d795f4b62.pdf Our cable is in plastic trunking, less than 10m last meter or two in insulated false ceiling.

It certainly goes hotter than either myself or the missus likes.... by quite a way. I am wondering if the cable is good enough to update the circuit breaker.

Boogger. I will have to stick with an 8.5kw (which perversely is more expensive).

Do these help? One is the consumer unit - which I cannot 'read' ratings from, the other is the cable going into the bathroom for the shower/lights/fan.

Thanks to you both. That reassures me that I can replace the 8.5 with the cheaper 9.5. I have a plumber coming round to look tomorrow. I will be good to have a shower again (though not having a shower could help with social distancing....)

Hi all, just trying to figure out fix for our shower. We had an 8.5kw fitted, but the replacement 9.5kw engine is cheaper than the 8.5. Yeah, go figure. Anyway, the higher power shower may need a higher rating cable (says the lady on the help line). The cable and a new separate consumer unit...

Then you should read'guns, germs and steel'. If you have not already. Mindblowing breadth of enquiry.

IIRC iOS requires all web browsing to be done on the built-in web engine so all browsers will be using the same core code. What they decorate it with is another matter....... Agree about the possible causes, but it is easy enough to burn a couple of cds, one for Mint and one for Ubuntu.

Alternately you can use bootcamp to split your hard drive and install windows on the second partition. I have that on my Mac so I can work from home.

Hi Roger, if I made you a bootable USB would you want to try it? I have a Mac, but I prefer linux. Mac can be a pain because Apple want to keep their walled garden safe (from escapees as well). I think that the Mac boot loader only recognises some disk partitioning schemes - and the eaiest...

Sun and Mail should be best - more 'nutrient'..........

Here is an interesting graphical tool developed at Oxford university.... it helps to explain the reasons for the social isolation and distancing policy we are all, hopefully, pursuing: http://epidemicforecasting.org

View of the governments response. I am not sure that I am in a position to agree or disagree, because most information I have been given is likely biased. But this is just one more plausible explanation. People at the top are planning for politics after the virus...... The coronavirus letter...

How long till she gets to your head?

Our town was pleasingly noisy. Even some fireworks. The local covid support group on facebook was humming, and since it was an official event for our company (our boss is very community minded) our whatsapp group was full of input too. I was very pleased. I hope it gave a lift to all those...

You have my sympathies. But don't rule out the good karma you have built with your staff, past and present. You may find that your fairness and consideration will be repaid when you need it most. I work for a great company. I have only been there less than a year, but they have shown such...
