Deppenapostroph - I've learned something from this thread. I did not realise how important placement of an apostrophe is. My sister’s friend’s investments (the investments belonging to a friend of my sister) My sister’s friends’ investments (the investments belonging to several friends...

How interesting. I am just wondering if putting the apostrophe like this changes the meaning ? Pedant's corner. And why would a grocer differ?

Nice work fellas. Red yellow blue so much better than BBG.

Any chance of a pic of the week anytime before Xmas? I cant remember seeing one for a while.

Hello and welcome. . I've been watching you watching us for ages. I wondered when you were going to say something.

Plug top bottom

Plug -> socket. Makes perfect sense. It has never been a plug top.

Why do you call a plug a 'plug top' ? I hear 'plug top' a lot can anyone explain?

Its a city all Tarmac and concrete paving the 'ground' or earth as in soil you prob need to drive to a park or out of the city. Like i metioned the incomer i reckon is about another one or two floors below street level.

I understand what you are saying. Now you have typed it and i have read it what is the likely hood of swa phase to scaffold ? presuming a(nd i have no reason not to) the armour is terminated correctly. The lighting which i assume is running from one or more of the transformers is festoon. It is...

last thermostat i did was other way around. Salus was coming out and needed a L & N supply and switched live to boiler. Honeywell was Batt operated and was live in switched live out. And a far better stat in every aspect.

So if the metalic parts of the sub main was connected to (or at least locally to sub main ) the scaffolding with a conductor of equal size to that afforded by the 16mm swa armour you would say it is effectively bonded. I have no idea if it was or not. But if that scaffold had to be bonded in...

i came across a similar cloth cable installation. It was a TT. What did cut out look like? and is it a farm or out in the country? the other thing to look for is overhead cables.

john you seemed to have got the point across better than me -That was my esteemed colleagues point for arguing the bonding of the scaffold that as soon as the armour was cable tied to the scaffold then it became an extraneous conductive part. Which i was not fussed about for the trannys fed by...

I have no idea if there is provision for emergency lighting. Or indeed if these tranny's supply the work light. They prob all knock off at 2pm. It's all presumption I'm afraid. We were just speculating on how compliant the install was. The thing that I was struck by was 63a sub with no rcd. I'm...

I use my cordless impact driver 18v li-on batts on my dab. Looks great with 1.5 t&e between radio and batt. Saved me a fortune in size c Duracell as as you pointed out the wall warts the radios are supplied with don't last long. I never let potential customers see the set up though until I have...

We went to a to a big contractors site today to look at some pat testing for a sub contractor. We had a heated disscusion on way back about what we had seen. While i was there i noticed 5 10kva single phase transformers dotted about the scaffold. The transformers were all fed in 6mm swa cable...

Dull glow? Nothing wrong with CFL lamps.

Has anyone had any experience installing wireless switches? Have been asked to install a switch inside a property to operate the exterior lights on a cabin at the bottom of a garden. I could run some SWA to make the lights a two way between cabin and house Or Can anyone recommend a brand...

To hell with glands I am doing my next SWA install the same as DB5.
