Handles are those replacement ones that were popular years ago, 'tip top tap tops' if anyone remembers them
Was wondering how long it takes for them to corrode
The time it takes will depend massively on how hard your water is. Ours here is very hard but the opposite in Fland where the watter is so soft and acidic we have to have sacrificial anodes in the water tank and apparently a copper one gets eaten through in a very few years.

But the profile of that tap reminds me of Victorian ones I've seen. Wouldn't surprise me if they date back to the first chrome plated ones. Edwardian?

No idea really.

Water not too bad
I'm thinking they may be thirty years old, the bath panel is hardboard so that's about the same age I'd say
Thinking may be due for an upgrade
 
Ground and earth are not the same. Ground is the current-carrying return path, Earth is a protective connection for the avoidance of electric shock.
On a vehicle, the return path is to ground i.e. the negative terminal of the battery (by convention. In physics, the electron flow is from negative to positive.) A connection to earth cannot happen (except on a BEV, which has an isolated ground circuit, the 12V ground can also be an earth in the event of a fault) on a vehicle as there is no protective circuit, unlike a building.
Even the Indians understand it https://circuitglobe.com/difference-between-grounding-and-earthing.html

Yep, it's a semantic difference in most cases, try mixing the two in your house wiring and see what happens. :D
 
Morning All. :D
The cat is distressed (has fleas) 2 applications of "Front-Line" flea, lice & tic killer has resulted in a patchy, de-furred cat. :(
Not sure what to do next, Vet's I think (@ £70 a throw). :(
Anyway, have a good day. :D
You do realise that Frontline and others of this type are a poison? Once you apply it to the animal's skin it is absorbed into the animal's bloodstream and then any biting 'visitors' injest that poison and die! By giving your cat two doses of Frontline you have doubled the required dose - ie. you have given the cat an over-dose of poison! :eek:
 
Morning all.. post came early today..

If cats are like dogs in this respect, the vet can prescribe a pill that lasts for 3 months. But they are not cheap. £30 for one, in our case. But this may avoid the allergy, if that is what it is.
Best of luck.
 
So flipping living in Issingdown again today.
So can't get on with the ACE system.
Very annoying, I can however see if I have got a 27mm deep socket or box spanner and if not go get one from Halfrauds or similar.
W gone off to some "old Guider's" thing.
Have a good day folks.
:):):)
