Hi Sidewinder, I have been installing cat6 as a standard for a while now, the Excel range is better and the higher spec cable is shielded so would help with interference. I forgot to say you should get cat6 A its far far better, and double the standard of ordinary cat6

I hate it when electricians get hung over the finer details of building regulations. Part M gives us guidelines on where the switches and sockets should be placed, but hold on, is this just for one type of disability? What about white switch plates installed on a white wall? Why do they not...

I love TT at least you have control

I like this forum and have used it many times. however I will say be very careful if you wish to use some members based on their postings. I had some very good contracts and employed some forum members to carry out these works, one member was very efficient the other was nothing more than a fly...

I always leave it to an electrician who knows what to do.

I would like to thank Manator for helping me out in my times of trouble, the last few years have not been good but I have at least survived. Manator also knew that I had some experiance in medical location installs and gave me the oppertunity to work alongside him on a recent project. I thought...

I know what you mean pal, and when the officers are younger than your own kids its time to call it a day. Good luck I still remember my number started 244, bet its far down nowadays.

Could you not extend your service to 25 years? If so your pension would give you a little cushion to gain some practical skills whilst being able to support your family.

Well done mate, it must be this forum this is the second reply to such a thread tonight! perhaps the admin could merge all this good fortune?

Well done mate, I remember trying to tell as many people as possible when I passed mine, I was so excited. So tell the world its a good acheivement, well done.

All dc voltages should be kept below 12v until they know the difference. Davetheglitz excellent questions mate, at least you are willing to sensibly debate a grey area. Me? I would not really like to use multicore SWA cable for such large voltages of dc currents. I am however willing to learn...

I try where possible to give constructive advise, however sometimes it is hard to keep a stright face.

I think they will have to be removed very soon as well, if I lived nearby I would be making a complaint.
