you already have it, having a scouse mum, you're half human already.

It was me Granny who was the Scouser. Mum was a mongrel - half Scouser and half Pit Yacker

(Pit-Yacker. A term that was applied to the people of the mining villages of Northumberland and Durham. The origin of yacker is obscure, with suggestions that it refers to a manual worker as someone who has to hack or thrash (yark). More tentative is the possibility that it is associated with yack meaning 'talk' or 'chatter', and therefore describes the jargon of the miners and by extension the dialect of their communities, which was also called pitmatic.)

Thats where I'd be calling a plumber...

Good heavens man it's only a couple of pipes and few valves, how hard can it be!

Thats how plumbers see electrics and look what happens when they touch the leccys... "Its allright, sure, its only a few wires. How hard can it be"

Feel free to play with as many pipes, joints and valves as you like - just as long as they're not carrying gas. That's when it gets scary.

Sorry mate but 900+ posts and this question - WTF.

What tests have you done?

 

[plugsandsparks]

Tests ? - I asked Mrs P&S what she had done and checked what was plugged in. I then tested my own knowledge of my house and found a switch for the heating. Switched it off and breaker reset. What more could be done ?

I just thought it was a rather odd post with somebody with so many posts to their name!! As for tests - well the obvious ones really

I found a N-E fault on a heating circuit today, installed by BG, on a contract for cover, whoever wired up the wiring centre needs shooting, cpcs snipped off, red line conductors used as cpcs, and one of the two blue wires from the 3 way valve motor shoved in with the cpcs. Muppets.

and I don't even do central heating wiring. Obviously because it worked (was on an MCB only) then it was fine.

Anything with a coil could be the pump
