Whats &amp mean?

I see a lot of posts (specially the 'for sale) section that are describing an object and '&amp' is in the discription, Im presuming its some kind of filter thats gone wrong, but whats it supposed to say?

Could be the for sale screwed. In HTML & (ampersand, amp, semi-colon) is the code for an ampersand.

no its in discriptions such as these i copied and pasted ....

Looks to me like it should just be & or and.

Orange and brown

Table and 6 chairs

Feather and down

As probedb said. The ampersand, or &, is a special symbol in HTML. If you want to display it you have to put &. Some forum software automatically does this for you so you can type & and it replaces it with &. Some doesn't and if you want an & you have to type & yourself. It looks like someone's typed it when they don't need to.

i notice this on one of my adds ones when i was saying what size something was

ie its 6 inch long .... it seemed to replace the " that i put after the 6

An amp is a unit of measurment that an electrical appliance uses and is from OHM's law.

Most items are sold and described in Watts, for example a 3 Kw fire will use 12.5amps in one hour.

You pay your electricy bill in Kilowatt hours, that is the amount of energy you use.

Amp is an abrievation of Ampere. Watts (Which most domestic appliances are sold as)

Amps are calculated as follows, Amps = The Watts of your item of equipment divided by your domestic supply voltage.

So the amps for an 850 watt device will be 850 divided by 240v = 3.54amps.
