Type B bidirectional RCBO?

Do these exist? I think I'm right in saying these are needed for connecting power generating equipment (inverter/solar etc), but Google is desperately just throwing type A at me, and seemingly a lot of websites have them listed as type B when they're type A on the spec sheet. If anyone knows of a specific brand and part number that might help my search. Cheers

I've got a lot of work to do at height, gutters, facia boards, painting etc etc, around the house. I looked into scaffolding tower sets, and they're knocking on £500 for what I need. So I thought I'd check proper scaffolding, expecting it to be very expensive, but it actually worked out around the same price, but for double the width, which would allow me to reach more and probably be more stable. I could presumably sell it after I've used it. Obviously it'll take longer to set up or move, and probably a ballache to store. But might be better than falling off a ladder. Any thoughts?

So I had previously had 3 now:pension pots, from 3 separate agencies when I was doing contracting for a few years. They'd always been awkward to track, but it seems they've updated their interface so they can now all show up on the same page. And it's a bit better than I thought but nothing major, around £3k. I've now had a permanent contract for a good few years with LGPS pension, so I'm a bit more comfortable with where that's at. I'm just wondering what I should do with the now:pension pot. Would it make sense to move this to a SIPP so I can better control the investments (I'm not even sure what the current fund is, or what risk level it is). Is there anything I need to be aware of to move a pension? Don't want to accidentally fall foul of any strange rules. I'm mostly asking this because I just had an email from them today, and honestly I might not have even remembered it existed, especially not in 30years time

Just thought I'd post this here in case anyone finds it useful. There's a new model of 20v 4ah battery for ferrex tools. And some of the recent 20v tools state this on the box, 'U-LED 20V'. So I was curious to know if these were backwards compatible with the 20v/40v 5ah batteries. And the good news is that yes, they are a direct fit, and work correctly (obviously the 20v won't work in a 40v tool, but the 20/40v battery still works for both). The new battery has a light around the edge to indicate charge, whereas the old one has the 3 little lights. As an added bonus, these 4ah are £15, Vs £25 for the 5ah 20/40 ones, so if you mostly have 20v stuff then it'll save you a few quid.

I spotted some lamb steaks at the shop earlier, and it reminded me of mixed grills. I don't seem to see them as much these days (RIP spoons mixed grill). So I might try to recreate one at home. But what are the mandatory ingredients? I'm thinking: rump steak, lamb steak (or chop), thick slice of gammon, skin on chicken breast (or maybe a crispy thigh might be an upgrade), decently seasoned sausage, fried egg, thick chips, maybe a cheeky few onion rings, pineapple on the gammon, and a few peas? Anything you'd add or remove?
