[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 426040, member: 1408"] The manufacturer's instructions were wrong Andy so where does one go from there , its not covered in the Regs . always assume they are carved in stone . ProDave , I think this is the order of things these days , hence the title of my thread , " Again we are being cheated" . Is'nt it called the Dissapearing Mars Bar syndrome or something . Its nothing new , when I were a lad ( cue music from The New World Symphony 2 Largo) thee could buy a bag 'o chips as threepen'th ....fourpen'th...sixpen'th...ninepenth and a shillings wuth . A shillings worth of chips would be enough for a family of four . Now chips come in one size @ £1.40 . ( Yes I know back then yer da earned £15 /week old money ) but look at the choice in helpings . Mars bar..... half the size today. Petrol sold in litres now but most of us still imagine we are getting a gallon when we pay our £1.12 /ltr ...we are really paying £5.04 / gallon. But then beer is about £26 /gallon Bottled water in a B,ham restaurant @ £13 / gallon [/QUOTE]
