In my pocket all the time is a jetbeam mk1, I run it with a 14500 but it also takes AA. In my EDC bag I have a small head torch (Nebo Rebel CR123) and a couple of spare batteries. In the car I have a Zebralight 18650 head torch and 3 or 4 spare batteries. In the GHB I have a cheapo AA. On my car FAK...

Bottom fill if pressure drops it will drain back into the main........

Mine is fed from a tank in the loft which fills off the main. Even if it feeds directly off the main if should have a non-return valve (stops potentially polluted water getting sucked into the main).

When I go to Greece every tin I come across has a ring pull. They're starting to appear here more and more so I think tin openers will be a thing of the past (I'll still make sure I have a couple though).

I spent a week in rural Herefordshire last week. We were on a farm about 5 miles from the nearest shop and 15/20 miles from Hereford.
It's very sparsely populated (compared to the SE where I live) and property prices are very attractive.

The immersion shouldn't burn out; hot water cylinders fill from the bottom so if the water runs dry it will still be full of water but there's no pressure to push it out of the top.

Fitted two water butts at the weekend, 100l at the front and 200l at the back. Then we got hit by that massive storm on tuesday night (over 1000 strikes here and absolutely clattering it down), checked them Wednesday morning, both full up. Need to figure out a cheap (to buy and run) pump now as I'm ...

Am I missing something , isn't this just a 12v leisure battery, a charger and an inverter in a smart box ?

£1500 seems a bit steep when all the bits would cost less than a third of that.

I found out yesterday that there's the possibility of getting an allotment near me. With my pending early retirement (and resultant reduction in income) I might take it on and grow myself some fruit and veg. The upside is that my late mum had one for years and could grow anything. The downside is th...

The obvious answer is to offer to buy the existing wood from them, saves them having to move it. Or better still, say you want it included in the purchase, they can only say no.
