    Where indeed? Possibly playing trains somewhere. Or even gardening? Or even Plane Spotting at some airshow?
    Maybe he has a new project? Just hasn't told us her name yet.

    Does Janet introduce you to her mates with ..."This is my fellah Homestar?"

    Do they look a tad askance as though you have four heads & breath fire out of you lugholes?

    Back on piste, a question that no sparkie has answered for me, satisfactorily.
    Why do we have 10 amp gpo s? 10 and 15 amp cable is the same code.
    To my way of thinking there can only be two alternatives.

    1- The outlet is only capable of carrying 10 amp. That being the case, why not standardise on 15 amp outlets?

    2- 15 amp outlets are the only outlet on a circuit, to prevent overloading.

    I could be completely wrong.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Dunno if 10 amp male plugs are all like this but my grandfather's old CIG stick welder has had the earth pin modded from 15 amp size to 10 amp.

    Runs fine on a 10 amp outlet but won't run plugged into a 15 amp outlet.

    Other stuff I have that has an umolested 15 amp cord works fine out of that outlet.

    I did the same to my welder, but using at the same time as 'er indoors was washing, baking and ironing was fine until.....she bunged lunch in the microwave. Of course I copped "look what you have done".
