frankn 2,696 Posted September 13, 2018 Actually @andyr cockney rhyming English (slang) was in use all over London and into the suburbs in early 19th century. It is associated with the language of the working class in and around London. I know exactly what defines a cockney since a number of my extended family “qualify” - with a number still living there. I use the term Londoner as per the song: Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner That I love London so Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner That I think of her wherever I go I get a funny feeling inside of me Just walking up and down Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner That I love London town Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner That I love London so Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner That I think of her wherever I go I get a funny feeling inside of me Just walking up or down Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner That I love London Town 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony1 45 Posted September 15, 2018 Zap, what are you saying ‘no’ too? a) that a dedicated HiFi circuit doesn’t need a dedicated earth ?Or If you decide to have 2 dedicated circuits adjacent to one another then 1 earth spike is sufficient ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Power point earths, in Australia, are all run back to the switchboard, to a common earth (MEN system). ALL qualified electricians know how to run such a system to meet with the appropriate regulations. Over-thinking and over-complicating the mains power is not necessary. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
