Teachers have a decent pension too; paying for it at the end of each month.

Best thing would be a changeover switch.
You'd need to get an electrician to fit one. It's a unit which is fitted beside your fuse box and is connected to a fitting which he would fit on  an outside wall. My changeover switch which I had fitted last February was £250 which included the labour
Once you buy a generator you connect the cable from it to the outside fitting , turn it on for a couple of minutes then change the switch over on your unit from mains power to generator power. Fairly straightforward operation

Excellent guidance there.
One point you made is that they  need to be started up on a regular basis. I had heard that before. That could be a bit of a nuisance having to do thst but I suppose it has to be done   Really if your electric has been cut off due to a storm you'd be content I'd imagine that your generator will run lights tv WiFi and heating. As you say you're liable to be off for a day or two at the most unless you are very unlucky. I think that of you had one at the ready it will give you piece of mind when the weather warning comes. They def are becoming more regular nowadays with their boy next door names but they are a f@@@@@ nuisance

Back to the subject of generators. It appears that a lot of people wish to invest in a generator to be ready when the next storm inevitably comes. ( they are coming fairly regular nowadays )
I was looking around and what I have found is that petrol generator's are quite a bit cheaper that diesels. Makes me wonder why this is and are the petrol ones to be avoided...
Anyone got any good advice on buying a generator for a house in the event of being cut off in future ?

On another note, another ballot and another success. This time v Everton. 2/2 this year.

Any luck getting one for the cub for the other game ?

We didn't try. I'm heading over for Forest and he's heading over for Everton (He's 18). Could try but not fussed either way.

Best flight option from here to London?
I was thinking BA from city to Heathrow and onto Piccadilly line which goes straight to Arsenal. Hotel on the same line to make it even handier?

General discussion / A Will query
October 22, 2024, 08:10:19 PM
Any lawyers here?
A family problem with a will has cropped up. Basically an unmarried man with property and money in an account passed away and before it was settled his executor passed away as well. A new executor was appointed by the lawyer but the will is getting nowhere and the executor feels he is being messed about thr lawyer. Do we go to the law society to look into this or is there anywhere else we can go. Bit of money and property involved and it's being going on for number of years. Any advice welcome
