The blown up out of proportion posts, about I have paid for my electricity in my pitch? price is used so often to cover the inconsiderate use of using heaters to heat the sky in awnings
Then there are posts knocking those who drive vehicles that are needed to follow their type of holiday but do not have any real answers
As for the warden we know and he was not the only one who would trip the bollard for that pitch ,when noting radiant 2kw plus with no one in attendance in awnings
Those who use club sites will or should have noticed that the later type of bollards the trips are now accessable by the pitch user and the even later type of bollard has to be set by the pitch user before use and trips when the umbilical leads plug is removed
So any one can now trip or reset their (or others)as often as they like when overloading the supply. rather than running to the site staff to get it done,
Ps the Oft quoted 16amp supply is the max, and if there is a full site 16amp being drawn .on all pitches the main trips on site could activate , hence the notices to think of others when using the site supply

Posted on 30/08/2021 23:11 by CornersteadyVery minimal I would say as most energy would be absorbed by the person/object. A crude analogy would be like boiling water to 100C in a microwave, does the air get heated to anywhere near that temperature, or even slightly heated?
As an aside but one never hears about using AC units?

You do Wardens no favours when you paint them in a bad light as you have recently, I’ve never met a Warden who is anything but friendly, helpful & industrious. You suggest they are more like Army drill instructors on power trips. I find this most unfair & maligning☹️

Posted on 31/08/2021 09:29 by Twos more then oneMy issue is not with the use of heaters in an awning , but with the irresponsible and unnecessary of heaters ,and going out and leaving heaters on ,defiantly falls into that definition

That is what when Questioned? and some site staff trying to keep others on site safe, there are some who then jump to to the defence. of said inconsiderate people probably some. the said perpetrators or in a vain attempt to try to score points as you may have noticed

Posted on 31/08/2021 09:32 by JVB66You really do like to exaggerate when you post
how is a warden who is thinking of the majority on a site i rather than those who think only of themselves, your words an "Army drill instructor?"

Posted on 31/08/2021 08:57 by WhittakerrNo, not a new member and i know each outlet on a bollard has its own MCB, but you said the warden tripped the bollard, not an individual outlet on the bollard.
Perhaps it would help people if you made sure your statements were accurate.
