    Have you noticed how H&S never teach you how to manage those types!

    I’m sorry but maybe I’m just old? But surely as a common sense human being with a brain you can reasonably see the risks to you in the immediate vicinity and take the appropriate caution? I can’t be responsible for what someone else is doing, so should I be preparing for what they may or may...

    Allowed time for commercial eicr

    I’m waiting for the day, but I dare to say that it will all covered up to a lesser offence and to compensate a new scam will be devised to ensure compliance! Which we shall have to pay for?

    We always give a separate supply to each outdoor unit, usually 20A for the smaller units such as these.

    Cabling for garden project (colour coded diagram included)

    Personally I would suggest you employ the services of a reputable (recommended) electrician to come and make an assessment of your requirements and the suitability of the existing supply as this is just as important, at which point you can discuss what works he/she would be happy for you to...

    New house; remove 20A induction hob, install 2A gas hob

    Take a look at the rear of the switch fused spur, you will see in/out, put your 20A cable in Lin Nin and earth then your hob cable in Lout Nout and earth. Change fuse to 3A and crack on. It’s your house and no one is going to knock on your door to check it. At a time more convenient to you...

    shafted again!!!

    Let’s be honest, a badge/scheme/recognition means absolutely NOTHING, it is the quality of the individual at the time that gives all that a meaning. There is no integrity in any scheme/badge/affiliation anymore, no provider has the back bone to instill/police it, I spoke to Niccy recently and...

    shafted again!!!

    It’s not a problem with the expense claiming, it’s how they would like me to use my equipment to do their test and charge me so much more than when I used to go and use their facility and their equipment, and yet technology is supposedly making everything easier and quicker but does it really...

    Eurovision.....am I missing something?

    It a bit like ‘worlds got talent’ with no golden buzzer or red buzzers come to that. A total waste of time as our music is a world away from theirs so what’s the point?

    There was one that used that fig 8 appearance and it was a PitA to strip! The outer sheaf was almost like glued to the internal.
