Hey! The wiring passed the Building Control inspection so thank you again for your advice re the above bit of work. Considering that I am more competent than qualified (although that's not saying much, and I just LOVE the discussion about that little subject!) I was complimented on the neatness...

Thank you for those details - where abouts did you do your studying? - notice you're in the wilds of Cumbria too. And do you happen to know whether those quals are able to be done in less time - in a block of time rather than 1 day a week? Cheers
