What a sadly typical, unhelpful and self important post. It was yours originally that gave me a hint of what sort of forum this was likely to be. You and Steptoe make a great pair. 36DD I would suggest.  Maybe you actually don't have much of a clue of the real world, it certainly seems like you...

OK, well I think it is rude when the OP does not respond, following other members comments, so I will do so, hopefully in properly punctuated, coherent and easily readable text. I thought this was supposed to be "the friendly forum". Well, iv'e got news for you, it ain't. In fact, I have never...

Stop being so pedantic, every one else seems to recognise what I am referring to, Henley, ISCO, you know very well what I mean. and how would you expect to see one probably installed circa 19?? on a website? Read my post regarding the cutout size, and like I said, if you have nothing useful to...

Your right Murdoch, to be honest, sod em. I am quite happy to fight my corner if it comes down to it, and it probably won't. The last assessor I had was a great bloke, and I know he would not even bring it up, however my scheme also uses some subby's and the one before him was an absolute moron...

Jesus. where did I say i had pulled the fuse? Read the posts. If you have not seen a henley block that won't take 25mm cable then you aint seen many have you? If you havn't got any thing constructive to say just don't bother for FFS!

Nothing. The loading on the new CU will not come near warranting 25mm tails. I am not trying to justify fitting them, but I can just see some smart-ass assessor making a big thing of it. As most of try to do, I would like it to be squeaky, and you can guarantee its the one out of the hat. Unless...

No, because I can't get my new 25mm tails into the 16mm henley, unless they "have a haircut" or the henley is "upgraded", hence the problem. I wouldn't give a monkeys about the 16mm from meter to Henley (and argue the toss with any assessor), but I think they would have a point if they raised...

Hi John, interesting comments and bad luck with the timing! Now, I am interested in your comments regarding removing cutout seals and/or meter seals. I realise both are illegal, but as has been said, we have a living to make. I just don't get the idea that removing DNO cutout seals is...

Right, I will try and simplify it, I recognise it is not particularly simple to envisage, although not that uncommon. Here we go: 100A (definitely) service fuse feeding, via 25mm tails, the "main" meter. From this meter we go into a Henly block with 16mm tails. (There is also a small CSA...

Yes, the French present tense is "Au", as in "Au Revoir". I apologise for not being in front of the spell-checker.

Thanks Pro Dave, a polite and decent answer at last. I am not trying to shoot any messengers, but it would help if the members either concentrated their responses on constructive comments and suggestions or, frankly, did not bother. I did not post on this forum to have my grasp of the English...

Yes, I get the double meaning. I have got a bag of meter seals like a whole load of other guys, and have no problem in doing what we have to do. At the end of the day the seals we stick on after we have done this are meaningless, we might as well not bother. Unless they are officially stamped...

I realise the OP was a little complicated, and possibly far to comparatively involved for the average "desk bound" folks that obviously lurk around this place. I think my grasp of the English language is pretty good frankly, compared to the average, and I don't think that the narrative would...

Right, OK. With the greatest of respect I am beginning to think this might have been a bit of a mistake. Ask a reasonable question get a load of fairly stupid answers. Murdoch I am a bit surprised at you, this is not the sort of response we would get on the "other side", should I say. It is...

Thanks for your replies so far, and in answer to some of the points raised: 1. The metering company have definitely said they would charge to come and remove the old E7 kit, which is, yes, not required. It is obviously cheaper for them to get either the meter reader or the customer to just...

It's a fairly new 100A cut out, so I am supposed to fit 25mm tails. Never made much sense to me when the incoming cable is 16mm but I guess there must b e some logic somewhere. however your suggestion is probably a good solution, I am just going to fit 25mm tails from the CU into a new Henley...

I just wanted some other member’s views on a situation I have regarding an upcoming CU change at a property that a customer has just bought. Currently the property in question has a historic economy 7 meter, so the setup is as follows:  25mm tails from service head into “main” meter, then 16mm...

TBH I might be not have given this enough thought, there is always a solution it's just a matter of finding it. I can come down the zone in the corners and then out and hopefully either straight into the light fitting or just run along horizontally outside a short distance, the blocks are pretty...

Well, when I say rendered it's actually going to be pebble-dashed and I am not exactly sure how thick any render (if at all) is going to be.
