So looking through regs items need to be switched to be controlled. So does an Alexa for type switch count. If you run a normal switch then add Alexa bulb say at some point someone will turn off the switch and the item will over time deprogramme. Therefore you could short back of switch giving constant power and solving problem but is that within the regs?

  • Did you distill (sic ) hooch (possibly only a rap on the knuckles nowadays) or make explosives (lock up and throw away the key in 2019!)?






    I will answer carefully so I do not incriminate myself too much.

    Not to drink, and oh yes.

    Actually I was part of a group that decided it would be  bit of a laugh to put some home made gun cotton into one of the ashtrays in the 6th form common room... as you do.

    That would not be possible today , not least as they would not be allowed to smoke indoors, nor would the reaction to a bit of " flash and pop"  and handful of flying dog-ends be little more than suppressed laughter and rolling of eyes. In some ways I am a child of my time - although I do intend to grow up at some point,  in the current job it is not fortunately essential to be a perfect conformist.
