Warfare has been the result of quite a few of the 'link only' threads in the past. But there is another reason not to do it. It is always good advice when on a computer not to click on unexplained links. They could be anything.

I think they ought to sell it in galleons, to boaters.

Yes. And I'm not sure if Tony mentioned this when arranging his visit, so I'll point it out in case he forgot to tell you. He will need somewhere safe to moor the horse.

Its not a false beard. He has a big black shield stuck the the left side of his head. Obviously. Honestly....

I didn't get where I am today by saying that either.

Understandable as you don't spend much time here. If you did, you'd have known about the ongoing problem with 'link only' posts we've had here over the years.

Really? Like this?

Yes deffly. And that format of plug will probably be introduced if/when Speakon sockets gain universal use for 12v outlets in boats/caravans etc.

Looking at the photos, one reason Speakon is not particularly suitable for boat 12v that I can see is the plugs have the cable emerging from the end rather than the underneath (like a 13a plug top for example), so the weight of the cable tends to pull/bend the plug in the socket downwards towards the floor. Same fault exists with cigar lighter sockets.

No, obtuse. If you read my post in context it's obvious it mean leaving the removable filling loop in position on the boiler as opposed to taking it off.

Yes. Busted!!!

She is probably not dead. We know this because if you hover the mouse pointer over her forum name, a pop-up tells us she last visited the forum 2pm-ish yesterday. Unless it is the cat signing in!

Sloppy language on my part. 99.99% of owners leave their filling loops in place, connected and turned OFF too, with no ill effects. I think you are being obtuse though!
