What are your views on using junction boxes? A lot of electricians frown upon them but they will stuff connector blocks up into a ceiling. Any thoughts?

anyone who stuffs connector blocks into the ceiling without putting them in an enclosure fitst really doesn't deserve to be called an electrician.
JBs have thier place but they are really supposed to be accessible for inspection, just how acessible that means they need to be is somewhat open to interpretation.

Interestingly enough, had a man (NICEIC, logoe'd van the lot) put a new light in the bathroom (noted part P, controlled location etc), and he connected the new fitting to the "loom" via a big bit of chock block, "mummified" the whole thing in tape and poked it up into the ceiling.
Muggins here thought this a little suspect, but was told, "Yeah, it'll be right", and was shown the de-structructions from the light, which recommended it too.
I have a piece of paper with NICEIC logos etc on, (EIC), but even with the paperwork, is this method good practice (like I didn't think it was)?
Is my EIC like Neville Chamberlain's piece of paper: worthless, meaningless and too hard even to wipe your nose on
?

Ooops, should have made myself clearer!
Well, the original statement (commonly heard in my own line of work) is that some written material is "worthless, meaningless and printed on paper too hard even to wipe your nose (or ar**, depending on the company you're in) on". Does my EIC fall into this category?

Report this to the NIC. Ths practice is not allowed under BS7671
If someone accepts the EIC then it is of full value.
Just like a piece of paper which says "I promise to bay the bearer on demand the sum of...." and signed by the Governor of the Bank of England.
As long as people believe the words, then a piece of paper is worth what the words say it is worth.
