    Seen the metal sort as in the picture "creep" towards the layout during the day at an exhibition.

    Mentioned in another thread, I have seen a mobility scooter drive into a layout at an exhibition. Very significant movement of layout, enough to derail stock. Not sure how you stop that unless you use .

    Once gave a double glazing salesman both my landlord's representative and my landlord's contact details. I am sure both the Home Secretary and HM Queen Elizabeth welcomed the brochures, never did fit double glazing to my quarters though.

    In the space or 2 days I had 5 cold calls on home phone from "my local energy consultant". 4 different voices regurgitating the script, So ingrained is the recitation of the script they do not respond to any attempt to stop them once they are in flow.

    So was mine, in 1982 and it was old then, left at a garage after suffering a major lack of oil in engine.

    If you were around in the 1980's, a large part of the electronic valve market was being supplied with valves sourced from Russia. Used them in kit designed to operate after the Russians had dropped Nuclear Bombs.

    Once read that you had to watch the production line and see the stuff sealed into the container to have any chance of what you ordered having the same parts being used inside as the sample you viewed being delivered.

    Old enough to remember those Government Information Films on TV urging us to unplug everything at night before retiring to bed.

    Need more than a single pole switch in the equipment to isolate it then.

    Are you a reader of Nathan Lowell's "Traders Tales" ? Same ploy in one of his books.

    A few years ago I went to a presentation on counterfeit electrical switch gear and fittings. Horror tales of missing components in RCB's and low spec materials. Some reference here has been made to"ghost shifts". From that presentation we learned that as the counterfeit offence in China only occurs when the item is a "retail" product, then a temporary work site was set up, the workers, components and packaging brought to site, and the whole batch assembled and stuffed into a shipping container which went straight to the port. Also tales of a large location, multi-football sized where in 6'x6' booths you could find vendors offering products, and orders would be accompanied by a query as to "what logo do you want on the product ?" One trade mark quoted was "IVI K", not really similar to "MK" unless you have poor spacing 🙂 In another industry, a stage lighting fixture (spotlight) was available in a knock off version where instead of a left and right casting for the body shell, two left hand castings had been bodged together.

    Some years ago we traveled on West Highland, the option to use the "Jacobite" was available, however we used the service train, same views, through larger cleaner windows (on that day), and get photos of a steam engine as well. (do the drivers still clean the service train windows at Fort William ?).
