Not to forget being in the driving seat with a plethora of idiots driving these days "it is more important to save a half a second per hour off driving time than it is to drive safely for everybody else including myself" sort of ideology!

Sorry, never tried them so I have no opinion, often stuff found at screwfix and tool station are not the best so I would treat with caution as a first response, however I do know they do also sell some good stuff so that doesn`t necessarily put me off but give my first instinct a question mark...

John, you have put it far more eloquently than I could have done

Hi Sunray, I think some of us might be a bit averse to running those singles from many points/places around the house on the thought that it might confuse others (or even ourselves at a later point in time say) although it could be said to be slightly irrational as a thought because with...

Indeed I wholeheartedly concur (and yes I will confess that I do not view myself as totally innocent of that sometimes too)

Back to the plot. The following in bold is in error - Please disregard. Many thanks to Sunray for querying it :giggle: The example shown by Sunray where the L & N change places and allow for the lampholder to terminals to change polarity could possibly be utilised but to make things a bit...

No - I accept that the term bulb is wrong. :LOL: Although yes we pretty much always used the term bulb when I was young too, everyday folks often, very often we did too. Whilst as I got older and enjoyed hobby electronics and indeed hobby electric I learned the correct term to be lamp...

You might or might not take the view that if something is out of sight and out of mind its not really accessible because if you are not aware of its location then how (why) would you access . That might alter your viewpoint of accessible. It might add to the mix of some thoughts.

Correct. There is nothing to stop you replacing any supplementary if you want to which is a bit "belt and braces" just like in the days before RCDs were so prevalent or to mitigate against an RCD failure if that makes you feel happier. Some research of RCD failure suggests a failure rate of...

Sorry my old friend. A lamp holder holds the lamp (a.k.a the bulb) but bulb is actually a wrong term), the lamp is, traditionally, a bulbous shape though, I will give you that one ;). another wrong term is "Plastic", any material having plasticity my be referred to as plastic but it may be...

They are probably conspiracy theorists anyway John. And you no doubt know how they tend to do things ! (no not all of them but a damn lot of them reach the most absurd of conclusions and state them as "Fact!") others follow. A shame really because if they do raise a valid thought then other...

LOL

Yes very so!

Right I managed to print out, checked it and hey presto , like I thought can`t be done without adding wire from LH SW l to Extreme LH switch. If that was already in place it would be a doddle. Terminals wired differently and linkwires placed in where required I think are allowed under the OP...

I disagree - the meter will have a number so will assist the DNO identify the location and any darter on it. Without that then probably not much info readily available and the actual location might not be obvious anyhow.

Using "Common Sense" is uncommon to some folk though. We all might stretch points a little bit if we think it entirely reasonable in all/almost all circumstances. But some might stretch same far too much just to "prove their point" and justify their existence. I can forgive anyone who is...

They will still have a metal/conductive thread thereby usually outside any small portion of the holder screw thread anyway, if its "old" or "bad make" it very well take the problem well outside any perfect modern lamp holder anyway thereby negating that improvement. It might take a zillion years...

Well I think yes as far as it goes but I think that JohnW2 agreed with that a while back. How easy do things have to be accessible or how difficult do they have to be considered inaccessible. 50 shades of grey unless we have some definitions to work to. I`d put it at what I think say 85% of...

Oh Dear - rest lads, lets all be pals and start again please

;):giggle: Nice one Harry
