Pulled the last of the equipment wire from the garage and found a couple of bits that I was missing. Reels of green/yellow earth wire in both 16x0.2mm and 32x0.2mm so that ticks them off the list. Just need the purple in 16x0.2mm to complete that set. I've a lot of reels of 24x0.2mm and 32x0.2mm, but duplicates of the colours I had already sorted. Just…

OK 16x0.2mm equipment wire ... and while sorting out the christmas decorations the box with the missing colours turned up. I'm still waiting on the 1.5mm MDF for which a 'replacement order' is supposedly being processed, but I am still not convinced that this isn't just another Chinese drop shipper who creates a Royal Mail tracking number long before the product has left China. All the other 'suppliers' of the 1.5mm thickness seem to be using exactly the same set of li…
