Nicely thought-out and constructed post, Dan. I don't agree 100% with everything you have written but that is subjective. :Applaud :Applaud

Missed the TT bit. :Blushing Being TT, the SWA must have protection but any time-delayed one would be fine for this. However, it still ought to be accessible to the tenants of the bedsits.

A note to Reg 702.410.3.4.3 (ii) recommends, with TNCS, installing a rod or mat with a suitably low resistance, e.g. 20 ohms or less and connected to the equipotential bonding. This is to supplement the existing earthing arrangement but it doesn't make it TT. Edit: Red book, the green one's in...

Is this any use?

90% of the paper says they'll review it again in two years time. The other 10% says they don't agree with the findings. Total waste of time, typical political thinking, we don't want any hassle, lets see if we can pass the buck to the next administration.

No changes, then. Just a waste of paper.

I'm just finishing up on a house that has been converted from one into two, with the second half having a new supply. I was hoping to be on-site when the new supply was installed but couldn't make it. There was no earth supplied but it had a PME sticker on it. They also had to put a new pole in...

Best advice I can offer - treat yourself to a digital vernier. They all read both metric and imperial, and can be bought for about

Looking at the four dents in the corners, it's probably held up with chewing gum. :D

You guys are lucky to even get the chance to see someone elses paperwork. Practically every job I go to there is never a report or a certificate (unless it's my own from a previous visit) even though there is clear evidence of recent work or "we had it checked a couple of years ago". Even when...

Nope, orange so you can hide the cable behind the marigolds. :)

It might be time for the IET and others to reconsider their advice to the MCS about what is compliant and what is not. Otherwise, nothing will change. Somebody needs to try and get the big guns involved.

The 7-way is for a friend / relative of yours?

Regarding contact lenses, I might get shot down here from others but my missus trained at Moorfields for 18 months and has always said that they had more problems from people wearing rigid (permanent) lenses than from the soft (disposable) lenses. Something to do with not allowing the eye to...

My glasses came from you-know-who and, to be honest, they are rubbish. The focal area is only about 50% of the lens (25% after a few beers) whereas my previous specs from an independant were brilliant. Never had to turn my head to get in focus, unlike the current carp. Mind you, the previous...

A bit like your instincts - anyone but sp......rs. I like some of their adverts though. I thought that Space Shuttle drivers had to have 20/20 vision. :^O

Pauline, I think that you might be hard-pressed to find anybody to talk seriously to you. The main reason for this is that when anybody wants to "interview" ANY tradespeople, it's with a view to trashing the people within that trade and most tradespeople are wary of this fact. Look at the...

It's not good enough, you know. Wrong colour tape!!!
