i never get how youre sposed to know if youre overloading an extension thingy or not.

ive read you can work out how many amps youre using by dividing how many hedgehogs are in your garden by the number of jeans in your wardrobe. still dont get it. does everybody else just plug sh1t in and hope they dont blow the house up, or is it just me?
Pause • Switch to Standard View how much is 13 amps in british money??

W = V x A

So : A = W/V

Fire : 3000 W    2400/240 = 10 amps

Total of appliances must not exceed 13 amps or it will blow

3000 should read 2400Blush

Report sideshowbob • June 7, 2014 3:15 PM BST
thing is it disnae have a power supply built in. the power supply is in the lead. so how does that work then for these calcumalations?

theres an ipad version of the old tv show the crystal maze. was playing it the other day in the pub and one of the games you have to put these funny circle things in the right place to make a currant or summat i dunno i dont get it. didnt have a clueby doo. may as well be asking me to recite hamlet in peruvian.

me mate was taking the smeg outta me saying you must know what a currant is, i thought you had a degree in this stuff? how do you build a pc without knowing what a currant is, i did this at school when i was 10. well you may have done, but i dont understand any of it. they go in muesli dont they? look i can build a pc, i can stick a few bits together and they work, i cant build the fooking stuff that go in the ruddy thing! i cant turn sand into a micro chip! watts volts ohms currant buns transisters conductors drivers the bloke what cleans the windows. no i-smeggin-dea wtf youre on about!

Hey sideshowbob, you're having a terrible life!

Every day seems to bring a new trauma for you. Have you spoken to your doctor about something to lighten your mood?

Oh, hang on, I think getting to see your doctor was another challenge!

You can always talk to me, as I am a sympathetic listener, with years of experience of aggravation.
