I got my RAC renewal quote this morning. 306 sovs . They said its gone up slightly because blah blah blah. Slightly = 72%.
I always ring them up before renewing, and get a better deal. But - I just got a like for like quote from the AA, 135 sovs. I think I'll be going with them. I've been with the RAC for 50 years. I don't think I'll be with the AA that long, but who knows?

The new loft ladder is in. My goodness what a mess they made.
They didn't put any floor protection down and smashed out lath & plaster and trod it in everywhere.
We have had a right mess to clean up.
But the thing is in and it is an improvement (but much steeper than the old ladder (which surprises me).
The access hatch is >1.5 times longer so you don't smash your back into the hole as you ascend/descend at least.
I could probably have done a better job of it myself back in the day, but I'm a bit past it now.

It’s a ring but each socket is a spur. But they normally run it horizontally around the room just below the ceiling with junction boxes , not in our house.
But (the bit I hate) neutral and earth are the same, some don’t even run earths to outlets.
There just isn’t room in the socket boxes for a full ring, well there is (I did it to start with) but it’s so tight and hard I gave up.

Today was basically 2 outlets on single wires to 1 fuse. Immersion to its own, lights on a ring as we have UK light roses we brought over (yep they don’t have them here)
