VOLTS BOLT, AMPS KILL as i was taught.. just blame the nanny state
here!!!!!!
British
charity shops wont take any donation of
mains powered
appliances. This is due to the cost of safety
testing needed before
resale. The only places ive found to be any good is
the local council
recycling yard where you can "sneak" out a few
items. Usually plenty
of amstrads cpc and wpc's there, but i found some
Sun stuff last
week!!
And GB isn't nearly as litigious as the US, and yet
the concern. I don't want to appear ignorant, but I
don't think house fires and such are caused by toaster
and puters in anywhere near the numbers that
cigarettes and bad wiring are.
