It’s not necessary the driving license here, if the police will stop you you will speak in English and they will not understand and they will leave you alone. In any case in the trade show you will say “Ciao” not hello 😁

      Paolo_Cortese also i’ll teach him to drive in naples at no cost!!!

      If you can get him to drive in Naples, he will have acquired the skills of a F1 driver! I remember an Italian friend picking me up from Capotichino airport this one time and giving me a lift to his house on the back of a Vespa. How I survived the trip to this day I still do not know. To cap it all his mum asked if I was a little tired from the flight as I looked rather pale………

        Latest takeaway cup delivery to my house…instead of the roastery…I really need to double check my delivery address’s when ordering things, 2nd mistake in 2 weeks!

        My first Timmy W. beans. They arrived much earlier as part of a group buy, but I was on vacation and then after that the Covid hit us again. But was able to venture out and am exited to try them tomorrow.

        Flooring for the lounge hall and the kitchen now the sub floor has been fixed. Hopefully everything will be finished for mid-november when the new suite arrives.

        is that not falling into the hands of scarmoungering?

        what will you use the generator for?

          How do you then power your white goods etc with a generator? Do you have to plug them directly through it, via an extension lead possibly? I know what my dad would do, but I am not sure that’s the right thing to do in this health and safety super conscious part of the world!!!!! 🤣

                MediumRoastSteam The theoretically correct answer is that you need to build a transfer switch which disconnects all circuits from the public supply, and connects specific circuits to a supply powered by the generator. What I will do in practice… will be safe although not to code, but I won’t describe it here just in case NICEIC sends a contract killer my way.

                If you don’t want to install a transfer switch (which is a fair amount of cost and work - not to mention needing space near the consumer unit, which not everybody will have), then you need to have extension leads and run them to the sockets of the generator - again, this may entail a few bits of wiring particularly if you intend to run the CH/HW from it.

                Cuprajake Possibly. Hence my semi-ironic note re: paranoia. The idea is to have emergency power available for heating/HW (if the gas supply isn’t interrupted/rationed as well), internet/comms, fridge/freezer and basic lighting. If the outages happen, and they are reasonably well planned and for a 3 hour duration, it’s probably overkill and “paranoia”. Given the political gyrations (incl. domestically on the ‘energy cap’ and Russia digging in for the winter internationally), I’m not sure that if outages happen they will be quite as well planned or with duration limited to 3 hours.

                      i just think its plain wrong what their doing to the public, regards all of this but thats another thread..

                      I heard with some shock that Turnaround Truss is only going to cap energy prices until next April, not 2 years…..Also that she might be gone before I’m back!
