We had fuel supply problems a few weeks ago, so there were people who couldn't get warm in their cars

It's as clear as day.

Just checked and it was still in effect until mid 2008. Apologies to Sunray.

Indeed. In a later post he referred to the brown cover in 2008. The last brown copy I recall was the 16th edition 2001. Out of date by 2008. I don’t come across any of the installations which are seconds from total failure he faces on every job. Then again up here we don’t see many AV...

How did you get the homeowner to accept the cost of notifying for this new circuit? Given you don’t have current regs, what do you test against?

Do you really test circuits with a 10 quid Lidl multimeter

Sunray doesn't claim to be a long standing Spark, but I'm sure he knows the history of the ring final circuit. There are legitimate reasons for installing lights as a ring. Just because this is new to you does not make it wrong.

I don't have any issue understanding this term. Then again, I don't want to rewrite the regs and believe the members of JPEL/64 actually know a bit about electrical installation. Then again, I am just an electrician.

There is an island called Ireland. In that island is a city called Derry. The island is split between Northern Ireland (part of UK) and the Republic. Derry is indeed in the north, but it still an Irish city.

No. It is physically located in Ireland.

Derry is a city in the island of Ireland.
