Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

Just fit your own charger and tap it onto the shower circuit. Don't bother with extra switches and breakers and s*it. They're both about 30 amps.

Most of that is true, but 4 is not: many modern wall sockets (single/dual gang), especially those fitted by house builders, do not have a switch.

At least we don't wire some of our sockets into wall light switches by the door into a room, so those sockets can only be used for table lamps etc; the wall switches are probably not rated for the full rating of a

My Corsa has up for faster. So did other cars I used (including Seat and Renault).

Then open the door :-D

Here it is apparently illegal to switch on those lights if the car is moving. Thus, no reason to put the switch on the stalks.

You said DON'T and ALL.

Like tu and usted in Spanish, or ??? and ustedes.

Once in 1971, I met a pretty girl on the street in Guatamala City, and when I asked directions, she didn't seem to be in a hurry, and I wanted to get to know her, but the conversation ended. Later I thought she might have been put off because I kept addressing her as usted instead of tu, which was by then the standard among people our age. But I had learned Spanish starting only 5 months before, and usted was one of the half-dozen words I knew before then.

Someone in the hotel I was staying at spent a full 5 minutes teaching me how to say periodico in Spanish (I think I kept saying the I as a vowel), and a guy on highway crew that picked us up hitchhiking spent 5 minutes or more how to say a V that is half-way betweeen a B and a V, v-vaca vs b-burro.

I can't remember what it is now but there was some word I learned to say from cowboy movies (that is, any Western movie about the late 1800's) and later I found out Mexicans pronounced it that way in rural areas, but more simply in the city. So the cowboy movie set in the countryside was right. I think it was a nasal "sing song" up-pitch at the end of "Si, senor".

LOL I think I never heard that word until I was 10 years old. There was a group of words I'd never heard until we moved to Indiana when I was 10, reflect meaning to think, etc. The teacher Mrs. Tune used them and to myself I called her Looney Tune becuase of her strange language.

He never thought of what you say below. To him, move the stalk up means switch right indicator on. Right is up, left is down, same as the right wing party rules and is above, crushing the left below.

(in Spain, the right wing ruled for over 40 years during Franco dictatorship, and when he said this we were just out of the dictatorship)

I pointed this to him and he was crestfallen for a while. We liked him, but he was peculiar :-)

He taught painting and drawing, so he had an artistic mind.

There was an I Love Lucy episode about that, when they visited London.

Because if they come here, they can't buy their lunch with what they earn, but over there they are rich.

You should know this.

Less than a 0.01% error, probably.

:-DD

Nope, because WW1 and WW2 essentially bankrupted the country.

It certainly was raining cats and dogs last week. I know because I stepped in a poodle.

Plates of meat, that's your feet. Trouble and strife, that's your wife. There are more I can't recall now.

Cockney rhyming slang? Used by everyone? Certain groups?

Did I learn about this in My Fair Lady?

This page brings up the interesting phenommennon of local newspapers etc. which may say what town they are based in but don't say what state they are in.

Even at the bottom, there may be an 800 number, but no area code that represents a geographical area. Even in the Contact lilnk, there may be a webform to write to them but no address.

I would think they'd want to brag about their state but more than half try to keep it secret.

The council operate above the law. Do you think it's ok for disabled people to have spinal damage from speedbumps? And yes it does, my Aunt has a bad back and cannot go over a speedbump even at 1mph, it's ridiculous. They have to go a different way, or she gets out while he drives over the bump. Fun holding folk up though.

By the way, councils don't collect speeding fines, that would be the police. And they're too stupid to catch me.

Can't see that an illegal is worth anything like $500K.

There are also a lot of phrases that come from the Royal Navy - square meal (from the square wooden plates); between the devil and the deep blue sea - the devil being the final plank of a deck, against the side of the ship and the hardest to fit; the bitter end - the end of a rope ... especially if you missed catching it as the rope went over the side; and a whole lot more.
