This Forum, what is it? a few posts recently reminded me of what we have here.


A collection of Electricians, Electrical Engineers, Consultants, Supply side Engineers, Inspectors. Armed to the teeth with qualifications, experience  and reasoning.

Would give Shroedinger and his cat a good run for their money - makes the chicken/egg question look simple (actually the chicken/egg question is simple but that`s another matter).

You could not get guidance like this fom any scheme or body. It is brill. You even get building regs and advice, carpentry and electronics/radio thrown in too plus a host of other subjects. And a weekend quiz too. Ohh and a few comedians and some quirky quips.


To sum it up. Sheer Brilliance

    Well Graham I am an"Egg Firsty" meeself but I would just call it an egg (A lizard type thingy laid it) not a hens egg (because that would need a chikeney/heney type thingy to lay it). Darwinism at its simplest for me (more complicated and it goes right over my head) .


    Once upon a time there were only lizards.

    Some of them started to become chickenl-like but still retained their lizardship.

    Then more chicken-like but still retaining lizardship.

    Then one day attaing chickenship and losing lizardship but  still being lizard-like.

    Then eventually becomming completely chicken-like and not lizard like at all.

    Naturally this took a year or two to occour though.


    The most difficult question in the world to answer is "what is The most difficult question in the world to answer?"

    and the answer to that question is .............. The question what is The most difficult question in the world to answer

    So, the answer is the question itself and knowing that makes it easy therefore it ceases to be The most difficult question in the world to answer.


    Shroedinger and that blooming cat does not lookquite as difficult now.
