Hello,

I am hoping you can help me. Many years ago I bought a halogen uplighter in France (I'm French!). It worked fine for over 3 years, and when I moved to the UK, it worked fine for another year (of course I was using an adapter to be able to plug it in).

Recently, it stopped working, and the little light in the foot dimmer switch was gone, so I thought perhaps I could fix it. I open the dimmer and changed the little glass fuse inside. It worked! But sadly, only for a couple of days. I tried to replace the glass fuse again with another of the same rating, to no avail.

So, unless the dimmer switch can be fixed I'd like it to be replaced (I am attaching a picture of the dimmer switch if this helps).

I would also like the French plug to be changed to a 3 pin UK plug.

I'd be grateful if I could have an estimate of the cost.

Thank you very much,

Sarah

  Well, they do turn them away from the A&E route at Kings and rightly so they employ GPs and if after triaging you’re determined to have a GP type problem you are sent to see one of the GPs on site or close to the site.

  My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.

  Thanks, I didn't know that. People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
