thats what i was going to suggest, feed bathroom light/fan from spur then loop the 3c/e through a 3 pole isolator.

i understood that it was isolated within the area/enclosure they were working in but the means of isolation failed dramatically. i might be wrong though.

i've just googled and seen the napit full scope domestic installer course and i can't believe it, sorry but it makes a mockery of the trade :(

i'd say get a job and learn at someone elses expense, sounds mean and selfish but it might mean the difference between failure and success. by the way what is the difference between a full scope domestic installer and an electrician? i am quite niave on these things as i went into an...

not the ones with different pins though are they? the 4 pin PL lamps with offset nobbles on the side.

i was merely pointing out the ambiguous nature of the BRB

the socket near the shower isn't against regs as long as it isn't a bathroom, the whole 3m thing only counts for bathrooms. any other room there is no minimum distance between the socket outlets and sinks etc, you could have the sockets directly above a sink etc if you really wanted despite it...

terrible news and i wish all involved my best wishes. :(

but they aren't the same channels, how is freeviewHD not a rip off when a normal freeview box can be had for about

yes it was a sort of joke, i tend to call any possible discrimination racism nowadays its just so difficult to keep up with all the different types i simply find it easier to call of them racism :) PS. this is also a joke ;)

i still call them blind grommets, am i being racist?

i quite agree, why some people bother with those massive bungs is beyond me, an 11" immersion is only about

as already said an HD tv is nothing to do with its reception, its the screen and processing of it. you haven't been ripped off at all. and how is skyHD a rip off? it has 37 HD channels compared to freeviewHD's 2 and virgin has how many?

all i was getting at with the direct/indirect comment was if it has a direct heating source then it should be on a seperate circuit but if all your feeding is a control valve/pump/stat etc then that doesn't need a seperate feed.

i have known loose connection or even connections with no screws in at all work for many many years without issue on lighting then when it goes wrong it can be quite confusing until you start checking every connection.

thats the sort of thing we hear all the time :( i had my landlord at the time ask if i could have a quick look at one of his other houses that an "electrician" was working on but couldn't fathom the issue he was having with the bathroom fan not working. he kept connecting 12v fans upto a...

its not perfect to mix and match sizes but tbh going bigger is no issue at all in terms of electrical integrity as all your going to do is lower you resistance readings etc
