  • Wall plug socket always ‘on’

    I have a standard wall socket thats always worked fine - however it now doesnt seem to turn off, whether the switch is in the ‘on’ or ‘off’ position. I.e whatever is plugged in continues to be powered whichever position the switch is in! Is it safe to keep using the socket??

    Can I connect my guttering to my sewer system?

    Is it possible to connect the guttering runaway to the house’s sewer system? And is this still legal to have this changed? Currently we have a soakaway area with a hole that this gutter leads to, but this is getting blocked up regularly now. This is an old house which has a combined sewer system which has another set of gutters which do connect to the sewer system.
