    @SS. I've scan read all of that section, 537, and can find no wording as you put in from the BRB. That doesn't mean it isn't. Just I've got a bit rusty with the art of using the BGB index system. You know the one. Where you look for fuse and it says see, and then see, and then see, and then...

    No. Only place I can remember seeing it, at the moment, is in the OSG which, as it says, is a guide.

    Bathroom Zones question

    I'll not argue with that one! Our ceiling is 2.3m from the floor, when I'm stood in the bath I could put my hand a good 8" into the loft if there was a hole there.

    Electrical mystery

    I'm also wondering, for clarity, where was the redundant and removed socket fed from? This replaced socket or the single 'in house' socket? Was it before or after the replaced socket before removal? And how many grey sheathed cables are there now at the single 'in house' socket?

    Cooker switch location

    I always try to think, if a chip pan catches fire, and boils over into the hob tray (old fashioned I know), where would I want to be putting my hand to turn the electric supply to the hob off without burning my hand? That's where the isolator would go. Last island hob, in a new build, I had any...

    Cooker switch location

    I can well believe that. Until my grandparents had a tv, there wasn't a conventional socket in the two reception rooms of their old cottage. Any electrics were plugged into the 2 or 3 way bc adaptor at the ceiling rose, which, I'm horrified to say, I believe are still available!! I think I was...
