Or possibly extension leads as we call them?

I totally agree but securespark to the rescue!!

Well, a shower should always be turned off with its own controls as opposed to using the pull chord. So I'll say yes. OK to leave on.

I know exactly where EFLI is coming from!! [/url] That Wiki is technically incorrect. The cpc of 2.5mm² T&E is 1.5mm² and should therefore have a red crimp on! :wink: :P

Well said that man!!

With a naked foot in a bowl of water! :lol:

Just an update on my last post here. Being a belligerent pig headed fella. Told my partner this a.m. when she got home from work. Ambulance on its way.

When you see some questions on the electrics forum you'll realise that some peeps should have hands that cannot grip a screwdriver. When I bought a house years ago I did my (first) own electrics. I also piped in all the gas and water. It's all a piece of pish... If you have half a brain that...

Bloody hell!! 56!!!! Who can beat that???? I blame Mr. Cheung, Mr. Lev and A.N.Other who were all students at Durham University and have lived here during the 26 years my partner has had this council house. Which none of them have. I might not have had a university education but even I can...

Totally agree. The UK housing shortage should be cured as all the twonks who do there own wiring, without a clue at what they are doing, will have electrocuted themselves and hopefully no one else.

He's told you, Dusk to Dawn. Google it. Shops all over the UK.

You've just got to search for posts by DeludedAussie to see that Part P has no basis now, let alone in the future. There we have a fella that believes a 10Ax switch has a 10 amp fuse in and overnight becomes an expert in wiring in 1kw of downlights, and the next day is querying external lights.

This will be interesting! I'd be worried about the 251v (usually around 241 ish here). Never heard of a 300+ before. I'd expect the supplier (DNO) to accept a duty of care over their supply and, within reason, compensate for broken voltage sensitive equipment.

Wouldn't expect you to spot that SS when you can't see the hole in a flex outlet plate for a bathroom fan!!! :wink: :D :D :D Best bit is in piccy #1 looks as though whoever did it went out their way to get a wee piece of larger sleeve as the other (normal) wouldn't fit. Like to know...

I suggest you get in touch with DeludedAussie, an expert in all such things. Seriously though, I think me mate has a belling that he's forever resetting the clock on (PAYG leccy). If I'm right and you're not sorted by tomorrow I can get an answer that may help.

Are you talkin "following the joists" or through your holes you've made through joists to run the cables?

I think you ought to go for 1000w floods. Eddies do them. That will be a beacon for the fire service when your down lighters start smoking and you can't turn them off or kill the power because you can't find the fuse in the 10Ax switch plate.

Thought that was Acker Bilk? N And where does Gordon Jackson fit in? (apart from any black n white war film. We play Spot The Gordon)

OK, Being a belligerent doc n hospital hating fella, I'll make an appointment tomorrow a.m.

This is where, after you've applied, and you've ever farted upwind in a downwind breeze you'll have any and everything you may have forgotten/thought you'd paid off will return to haunt you. Do you honestly believe Experian is there to help you realise why, say, curries turned you down for HP...
