Power at one breaker, not the other and no tripped breakers.

I asked the NICEIC why boards could not be made of the same materials as the MCBs

What's it got to do with them?

The answer is cost anyway.

It has NOTHING to do with them, BUT I was at a meeting and they asked if anyone had any questions. I wondered about asking if you should go all the way on a first date, or have salad cream instead of Mayo on a Marmite butty...but I thought these questions too difficult for them.  :innocent

I was at an event recently and there was a company there exhibiting a device for fitting inside consumer units to put out fires, basically it was a glass tube with a chemical in it which, in the event of a fire would break and put the fire out. The trouble was they were very expensive, iirc they were over a hundred quid, not something most people are going to readily splash out on.

The whole thing is rotten mate, the scam providers see nothing wrong with the short course "sparks", the teaching firms see nothing with the short course "sparks", obviously, and the board manufacturers think the new boards are a great idea, again obviously.

There's a woman who works with the wife, her granddaughter is living with this bloke and she was going on about how clever he was," he's opening his own business, he's a qualified electrician, and he's a qualified plumber/ gas fitter" she was telling everyone. "he must be a lot older than her then " commented my wife, (the girl is in her early 20's), "oh no' they're about the same age" she replied, my wife paused for a moment then replied, "so he's done the short courses then, Phil may only be a qualified spark but at least he did a proper apprenticeship", the woman has never mentioned him since.
