    Mum's single oven wired correctly??

    You need a table that applies to the cable you use. It doesn't matter what the heading of the table is. 4E2 applies to H6242B - the manufacturer's data sheet says so.

    This cable: H6242B and Table 4E2 but then there is the question about the associated accessories.

    Fixing TT earthing problems and gas bonding for an EV charger

    Taking hand to hand resistance as typically 1000Ω, using your example above the touch voltage at the fault would be 52.5V and the current across the body 52mA - so very likely fatal, less likely but not impossibly so if RCD protected due to the route of the current through the body.

    Lighting Circuit

    Ah, to me your post was suggesting that the regs required a neutral at the switch and that he would know that if he had read them. The wonders of English, eh?

    Lighting Circuit

    All the regs say is "Consideration shall be given to the provision of a neutral conductor, at each switch position ". He's considering it, hence his question!

    New RCD needed - probable cost.

    My guess is that the electrician is proposing to add an extra (32A) MCB (not RCD or RCCB) to the existing RCD protected CU, which would indeed be about a tenner.

    Blanki g cooker isolation under sink to pass EICR

    Satnavs use a modified version of Dikstra's Shortest Path First algorithm, which is the foundation of the OSPF routing algorithm used by Autonomous Systems in the Internet. This is not really surprising, as the road system is a network too.

    Wire gauge for low power transformer

    The whole thing needs to be in an enclosure - you should not have single insulated wires or those connectors just lying free in the loft.

    Diy house rewire

    Basically as described by ericmark way back in post #4, but the details will vary between LABCs. "You complete your request, and pay the fee. They will visit, and want to see plans and tools, at least they did with me. If they think you have the skill, they will give the go ahead, they can...

    Earth question - Shaver socket

    It's called microchimerism. There's a recently published book about it called "Hidden Guests" by Lise Barneoud.

    Earth question - Shaver socket

    It does work like that. If you have an older 1/2 sibling from a different father then some of that father's DNA will have found its way into you via your mother's blood. The placenta is not a total barrier.

    Moving fibre router

    Better replace the existing with a longer fibre cable than extend as every coupler introduces losses and reflections. If you decide you want to move the router, the cables are not expensive. You need to be carefull of minimum bend radius so as not to damage the cable. A 10m cable is about £14...

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    Mine, fortunately, doesn't, as my router is nowhere near where my phone wiring runs. I have a separate little Grandstream voip adapter that plugs into the LAN in the office (aka rear bedroom), which is where the phone wiring runs from, and all the analogue phones hang off that.

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    In terms of physical equipment, yes, it will be. Just as it is compulsory for you to have a copper line and an NTE5 or equivalent for your current service. FTTP+NTU or SDSL to the house and then a router+voip adapter into which the phone &/or extension wiring is plugged. Small battery backup...
