    Career Change, What Next!

    Just go for a job and check out all the electricians tutorials on youtube.    I have seen many ***** electricians  earning a good wage,  you are likely way better than they are, and they have managed to stay employed for years.  You learn a lot when thrown in the deep end.  With your quals you...

    Ah! There It Is!

    Looked all over the house for the fuse board, eventually found it hidden behind the gas meter and then hidden behind the kitchen unit.  This has got to be the worst DB position iv ever seen.

    Spot The Fault

    electricians often only earth the armour at the appliance end when that end is a metallic box.  It is easier (proDave) to just have it earthed at that end and not have to arse about with the plastic box with its structure shape getting in the way and messing around with stupid little nuts and bolts.

    armour is connected to the cpc.....cpc is connected to the earthing conductor at the supply.   Therefore no matter what end the armour is connected the armour is still connected to the supply earth.
