To be honest, this sounds a little silly, but the best one I've come across is the Google Play App that comes with some of the recent Android phones. It's awesome and actually works, unlike the third-party apps you can get on the store. So if your phone is compatible, I'd recommend that :)

This is purely coincidence. I've only used this wholesaler once because it came up on a Google search. I've only used this company once and the reason I've been posting these links is due to the fact that I'm being cautious on prices and the quality of the products. Looking back, it does look...

Funny how I ask a few questions for advice to get sarcastic replys and comments! Cheers for the Help "EFLImpudence" Huge help!

I'm based in North Wales, that's quite a wide area. They may not be far away but they aren't 'just down the road'. They're actually around 50 miles away. It must have just been at the top of my Google search purely because I live roughly close to them.

From this advice, decided to get the opinion of a different electrician and he basically recommended what you've just said. So I went ahead and bought some 10mm 3 Core, got it next day so I'll let you guys know how it all goes when it's installed. For reference to any one who is doing a...

Yeah, to be honest, there's only a 30p difference. Not much point going for 2 core.

Yeah, I've had a chat with him and he's suggesting that if I want to save some cash, go for 2 core and use the armour as the CPC whereas if I'm not too worried about spending the extra money, get 3 core just for the extra reassurance. I've found 3 Core cable at a great price any way from the...

Yeah, that's fair enough. I'll mention it to him and see what he says. I've got a feeling he's going to suggest using the armour as the CPC to be honest with you.

Riight, ok then. Well I'll give him a call and see what he recommends. Again, thanks for the info :)

Ah right, thank you for the information. :)

Ah right, ok then. While we're on the topic, what size would I be looking at to power the aforementioned devices do you think?

Ah, fair enough then. Yeah, I'm going to get the separate earth too. Do not want to be electrocuting any one through trying to save money..

Would you say that it is worth including the earth cable just as an extra precautionary measure? I mean, ok, it may be completely fine to use the steel armour as a CPC but I'd rather not take the risk and just get a length of earth cable too, just to be safe.

Well the electrician I'm using must be charging commission for buying the cable because I've found a online retailer called Quickbit who are providing me with better prices than he is offering me. For example, http://quickbit.co.uk/swa-cable-2-core < this is the cheapest I've seen it and I can...

Hey there! Just joined these forums, hoping to get some valid information on a house build I'm currently in the process of doing. I'm doing as much as I can myself but hiring a sparky for the more technical, electrical sides of things. As I'm trying to save as much as possible, I'm buying the...
