I wish I'd bought the 750 too, although I like my colour scheme which is a Dutch import.

Hmmm. Interesting. My first job when I graduated back in 1970 was working in an electronics factory specialising in power supplies and electronic instrumentation. I was involved in the design of one of the first switch mode power supplies made in the UK.

Gould?
I worked briefly for Advance Power Supplies who were once Gould Instruments.

Hi and welcome..
Do the greys talk ??
Andy.

Well. We have two. One is 31 years old and one is 3. The 31 year old, "Jasper Parrot", doesn't have as big a vocabulary as "Mr Potter", the 3 year old, but uses language appropriately so calls me by name and asks for food. Potter says all sorts of things, mostly very very rude. Husband has ulcerative colitis which came upon him suddenly a few years ago. The other day, Jasper made this 10 second long farting noise and Potter said, "Jesus Christ, that effing stinks". You just can't take them anywhere.

If you are in any doubts when fitting your solar panel, make sure the parrots are watching you while you work . If in any doubt, ask the parrots and I'm sure they will say " That's the way to do it"

Apologies to those not old enough to understand!!

oh, and welcome

Barry

If I could work out how to "Like" your post I would; but I can't, so I won't

Do you take the parrots in the MH with you?

Hubby won't let me due to their tendency to chew through anything, like the walls and the carpets. We took the eldest to the classic boat festival at Shotley a good few years ago. Apparently much of the Old Gaffers video for that year was of Parrot arriving, Parrot in the beer tent, Parrot being rescued from the river, Parrot being showered.....etc. They didn't see Parrot being seasick. We only did it the once.

Well, the move was prompted by a change of job.....Marconi in Chelmsford. But the first things I noticed were, "It's not raining" and, "Aren't people rude to each other?". Sadly, I've got used to both, although I sometimes pine for the sight of a decent hill.

No Farnell Instruments. Advance were our main competitors. We beat them to the first switch mode power supply though!

Its a small world. When I graduated I was offered a job at Farnells, as well as two jobs at Marconi in St Albans.

Hi. Welcome to the forum. I bloody love a good discussion on switch blade... electric pulse power mode supply things.... the thing you said.

 

[cruiser]

Ok @movan nice one. And oh boy am I glad my parrot can not talk that much. He is only a conure. And only says Pretty. boy. But he can really screech.

Sounds like Mr Potter should be called Mr Pottymouth.
