this geezers good :lol:

why is it some painters moan when you turn the lights on,while others moan when you turn them off? never have got my head round that one :?

larco,try getting to know some of these people,they have a lot to offer,most of the ones i know sit at home during the week learning english(if they didnt learn it before they came over).they often know the word they are looking for but want a better word for it,thats how determined most are to...

good post zampa 8)

bet your glad the switch had a neon on it :shock:

get yourself a cscs card first and your 17th edition. then get on with someone but tell them the score,you may be put on a reduced rate while you relearn stuff for a while.whatever happens the money you will get will wipe the floor with b and q money so it doesnt matter to much. bottom line...

i didnt agree at first,i can see the sense now :wink:

no need to apologise mate,re-reading my own initial post,it does suggest i did put neutrals at switches(i can assure you i did not)it was still ok to slap apprentices back then/pin them down and shove coduit down their overalls/leave them up in the cherry picker and go to lunch,and i would have...

you know what spark,your right,this is why we need a separate forum for sparks to talk to sparks.this has probably made the OP paranoid now about whether hes doing the right thing or not. ive changed my mind,are you doing it or what?

when did i say i did that? i even backed up spark 123 when he mentioned running the neutrals through the fittings.all i was saying is ITS AN OLD IDEA ADAPTED TO A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT. obviously the way it is now done in domestic properties,IS NOT A TRUE LOOP IN SYSTEM

you dont appear to understand a true loop in system at all.

thats exactly how we did it spark,that is the correct way of wiring in tube. like i said its a very old idea,adapted to something new.still wire the proper way through tube though,cant help it :D

they did (we did) spark.im just trying to say its a legitimate method of wiring and has crossed over into the domestic sector.its not a new thing,its one of the first things i learnt,its an old method adapted to a different environment.

who are you testing? yourself or us?

who cares? the point it,these days with all the fancy fittings people want,its often a far superior way of doing things.started doing it over 20 years ago on terminal four as a sixteen year old apprentice,still do it now. no issue.

yep,ive always put that down as the day the NHS saved my eyesight.

i never used to bother with goggles until a similar thing happened to me. a red hot bit of swarf went flying into my eye.didnt hurt that much and i couldnt tell it had gone right in so i just thought it would wear out. by the time i realised it wouldnt ,every little bit of light was reflecting...

reg,a CU change is a long and expensive job if its going to be done how it should be,there is no getting away from that.

i get that,but half the fun is giving your mates the two bob bits :lol: that way they will just invite you to theres instead :D

try the building section,im sure noseall and the others will stumble by if its there :D
