Magnetic signage is the way to go, plus reduces your insurance premiums and makes it's just another van when not working.

Does seem to be part of Fletcher Stewart, companies house stuff shows them as formerly Fletcher Stewart Europe so seems legit as a offshoot company with the same Fletcher as the company director.

Looks like a council job, plus up a platform in-between BT in a gale. Took the council about a month to do similar to me, the pavement is practically unnavigable with roots.

Hence the phrase bumping uglies

I was more pointing out their diet maybe vegetarian, they have a very high intake of animal derived fats. And very suspicious milk from cows in the city centres.
-
Strict vegetarians that eats practically everything doused in butter and cooked in fat. They are not vegans by any stretch of the imagination.

Most extension leads bought pre made will have a power rating on them. Think a 25m is literally on the limit, so nothing else running off the extension or uprate to something that's 2.5mm instead of the basic 1.5mm

I am a hunter and farmer, so not really sure what propaganda I'm listening to.

I'm sorry @5thelement but that's utter tosh. Eating meat doesn't make you obese, going full carnivore is pretty healthy. It's all the added "healthy" stuff that's the general cause, we as humans are designed like wolves to run on meat protein and animal fat. All the nut oils and plant derived fats are bad for digestion, that's mostly why you get obese people. Wasn't it margarine that was originally a industrial solvent before they found how to make it stop going rancid?.

The extension is HO7RN-F, just ensure it doesn't get twisted as the cores will break over repeated coiling and uncoiling, it's thin copper wires after all. You can get CY cable extension, it's braided for a little extra protection from damage but is like wrestling a bear in gloves whilst greased up like a mackerel. You should be okay on 6mm extension, usual rules of don't leave it coiled up in use etc.

Are mammoths considered takeaway?

I've said numerous times the USA system is awful, the European and UK isn't and you need to say that!. There is nothing inherently wrong with cheap food, there is nothing wrong with soya and grains being used for animal supplements used to bulk out feed rations primarily based on grass. UK and EU agriculture is about as good for the environment as you can get and considerably better standards than anywhere else in the world.

They're you go
-
I beg to differ.
-
Thing is you make these statements that seem to say all agriculture is bad.
-
Don't confuse UK and Europe agriculture for USA.
-
Growth hormones are pretty much exclusively for America, they don't even inoculate hens!. In Europe we don't really feed cereals to livestock other than as a small ration, it's primarily grass based because it's cheaper and more natural but understandably a lot slower. Pigs and chickens are the exception, but even then it's not human grade grains. It's the lower protein quality that can't be used for baking etc.
-
Agree to disagree there, the American system isn't really replicated anywhere else and that includes over the border in Canada.
-
Obviously that is 11.5A per phase, depending on the motor type it can be 3 or even has high as 7 times at start up and then voltage drop. I've supplied 4kw stuff with 20m x 2.5mm, but it was always a risk as one damaged core and it's in the skip. In the end just advised the customer to move the supply to within 10m as a 4mm+ extension is like getting a remortgage.
-
@john87 pretty much was going to be my next question as extension leads say 4mm+ get very pricey and liable to get damaged. Any chance you could bury SWA closer to the job ?. The cost of a short extension would be peanuts 😀
-
Fair enough, how much power do you need ?.
-
Might be easier to just get a spark to put a socket closer to the work area. Preferably keeping extension leads to less than 10m is preferable.
-
Isn't that the m tronic variant?
-
It's also down to the high fructose corn syrup used in practically everything in the USA. It's cheaper than sugar but unlike sugar fails to tell the brain your full, the UK uses sugar as we get most of it from beet. Whilst slightly different from cane sugar it's less problematic.

I'm sure there was something last year in California banning new farms, as the water comes via that open air canal which supplies las Vegas.
