I'm getting this one for my birthday apparently. It's a top Which? Best Buy.

All things in moderation.

I may have been lucky but I have been running my WM and TD from the cheapest sockets I could buy at the time (in 1999) as a test to see how good they were. I'm on my 4th WM and 3rd TD, but the sockets are powering on. Two cheap Chinese-made singles from Fewscrix. They were well under a pound...

Well, the nasty man ***redacted*** and that's how he got Emu to "work"...

Good God, man, you're like Steptoe's nag.

I have Amazon Prime and as part of that, have access to music.

Erm...are you sitting down...?

Not sure if they're talking about the neutral being a live conductor or whether they were referring to "more than one phase" in A58.

I'm sorry to break it to you, to wreck your childhood dream, but yes.

Just gone through the 14th Edition, 1966. A58. An appliance or lighting fitting connected to an installation other than by means of a plug and socket-outlet shall be controlled by a switch or switches which shall be arranged to disconnect all live supply conductors. For an appliance fitted...

You haven't answered my query yet.

No, he had a hand in it...

You're selling him cheap there, you'd have to add a Not Poodle and a Wagon Wheel into the bargain...

I wish you'd explain what you think they did mean. Or switches. As per my first point...please do explain the difference. You may not believe it a question of what you think the difference is, but you are advocating very strongly for it, so please unravel it for me.

Yeah, he's gritting his teeth...

My Ma was an English teacher, my Pa was a lecturer at Manchester University and did a PhD. They both taught EFL overseas. Some of that rubbed off on me. Regardless of what you think the differences are between "each" and "every", it is not going to change the whole meaning of 116a in the manner...

Not sure. The next edition was introduced in 1966. I'll have a look through it, but it might not be easy to find. They completely changed the layout of the 14th.

"Every point shall be controlled by a switch..." "Point.. termination of the fixed wiring for the attachment of a lighting fitting..." That seems to imply every light should have a switch, but I'm sure the regulations didn't intend that. In a commercial or industrial install, you'd have...

Well, even in the 50s, you would have had more than one fitting switched from only one light switch, which would have presumably not complied with that regulation.

I think that trend came well after 1955. Point, in wiring. Any termination of the fixed wiring intended for the attachment of a lighting fitting or of a device for connecting to the supply a current-using appliance.
