Hermes, in the caseyou use, that would be manslaughter or manslaughter through diminished responsibility. Equally it is possible they could be charged with Murder due to temporary insanity. It is one of the failing of the current system that all deaths are treated as murder, when clearly they...

With respect Crafty I think your being slightly ignorant here. You don't like the Guy because what..Oh he looks like some fella from some rubbish program on the telly...listen to how childish and foolhardy that sounds. I would suggest, as has been above, that you take the time to get to know...

It could be the case if the Landlord doesn't actually live on the premises and the LBA have introduced their own stricter standards.

We will have to agree to differ on this point as I have seen many occasions where buried cables have suffered Neutral-Earth faults that have not operated any overcurrent devices, but left to their own devices, they create more problems in the longer term. It was you that mentioned a 300mA...

That is assuming the service they have is capable of handling an uprated shower. Most newer services will be able too, but if he lives in an old cottage or something similar, then he may only have a small 40-80A service. I would hope any professional he gets in would advise him on this point...

Red rags and bulls spring to mind.. I think this will be a can of worms they'll wish they had left closed..

The simplest solution would be to contact a professional electrician and get them to put things right, as they blatently are not from the picture posted.

I went from school to University and have woked for the CEGB and now National Grid for the last 27 years. Never been self-employed nor worked for anyone else.

I have to admit that I am in the pro-camp with respect to the death penalty, however having read the sensible comments in this thread, and also looking some facts up for myself, I am persuaded that with current technology and the make up/failings of our current criminal justice system, the death...

The regulations are the same for Multiple Occupancy houses as they are for normal Domestic. Part P applies to electrical work undertaken in the premises if the work falls within the remit of the section of Part P, and if it willimpact the supply to the building, then there are other acts which...

Spark123, you are correct in that there is no regulation that specifically deals with the situation spoken of in this thread concerning a buried cable, however I think this is were interpretation of the Regulations that are there is important, which is why I refered Ban-All-Sheds to Regulation...

Ban-All-Sheds, I think you have misinterpreted what I meant, I did not mean to imply that you had argued with him, simply that your comment gave the impression that he caused the arguement that had been referred to and it was this I felt unfair as the comments he recieved were unecessary, but I...

Ban-All-Sheds, I think your being rather unfair in this thread, nothing that Big-Spark posted was incorrect, he was simply accused of nit picking which he stated he was not. His post was worded very well in my opinion. His final reply I think should be taken with a pinch of salt as he is...

Being a father with 5 kids from 5 to 17, I find I rarely get the house to myself so I cannot say I have experienced that particular pleasure....if you can call it that? I can't even relax in the bath or the spa without the bloody dog wanting to join in! :cry:

I don't see the issue,I've had one on my work vehicle for several years, and it's never been a problem. I don't like doing my private things in a huge Landrover with National Grid plastered all over it anyway..I do my personal stuff in my Discovery with nothing plastered over it :D On a...

It's horses for course really, I prefer the smaller, more friendly personal service you get in the local shops, but it is not as simple as blaming the Supermarkets for the demise of local shops. Quite often it is the local councils and their insane business rates that start the process, then...

Is that not a contradiction in terms?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

My sides are splitting...I bet your nickname is lightening :lol: :lol: :lol:

I do more browsing than posting, normally any question I have I can find using the search facility but I feel inclined to post in this thread. I do agree that the Moderators seem to moderate in an uneven manner, and this perception is compounded by the fact that quite often the Moderators do...

Interesting concept that, one way to keep the bird population under control, that would surely suck them in from miles around. I'm new here..what's this BS your all on about, or are you simply abbreviating Bull S*it as it gets edited by the forum software?
