    Biased is one word for it. Wrong is another.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    The so-called "EU" is equally our galaxy's enemy.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    There still isn't. There is only Palestine. And the Islamic Republic will obliterate its enemies and avenge Palestine.

    Trump threatens to retreat from Iran

    Because they're in defence of the native - and actually Semitic - people of Palestine.

    Tight turns on oven cable - best way to run it?

    Letting the builder run the cable is stupid, and I certainly wouldn't entertain that.

    EICR shenanigans five years later...

    Can't be too thorough at that price. You should be looking at £350 for the inspection, testing and Report (NOT certificate).

    EICR - RCD type

    It has always been known as Type B, Type C and Type D for circuit breakers.

    EICR - RCD type

    That's entirely a matter for the inspecting Electrician, although what is connected to it may be a major factor in that judgement.

    One circuit 2 switches?

    You would need to change a module to an intermediate for what you want to work. Frankly it would be a daft thing to do.

    Is there any/much advantage to using 10mm2 cable for an EV charger instead of 6mm2?

    The fact they refer to "diameter" of cable instantly brings the advice into question.

    Can I run 3 doubles socked from 16 am rcb

    RCD or RCCB is technically incorrect. An RCCB is a type of RCD. An RCBO is also a type of RCD.

    Is there any/much advantage to using 10mm2 cable for an EV charger instead of 6mm2?

    There is still a cost. It's not simply the extra cable length, but also the extra labour this involves which is charged. (Excuse the pun.) And as pointed out, no reputable contractor will utilise cable which you have supplied.

    Is there any/much advantage to using 10mm2 cable for an EV charger instead of 6mm2?

    I certainly wouldn't entertain using cable supplied by a customer. They are always told "no chance" when they ask, as I cannot possibly guarantee its quality or even whether it is a legitimate product, let alone specs e.g. reactance to fire. (Dca, -s2, d2, a2 being the minimum permissible grade...

    Plug socket replacement - not sure original socket is earthed correctly?

    The superior National Rules for Electrical Installations in the south of Ireland actually do have an explicit requirement for it, and rightly so.

    Lighting earth issues - could I just run a fused spur from the power circuit

    "Rock solid" yet fluctuates... But you can't seriously be claiming that it only ever fluctuates within 2V. Complete horseshit if I'm honest.

    Lighting earth issues - could I just run a fused spur from the power circuit

    Far rmore usually near the 230V mark here. Can be down towards 220V in some places; up towards 250V in others. Also fluctuates at different times. It's a nominal voltage for a reason. It's never constant.

    Lighting earth issues - could I just run a fused spur from the power circuit

    230V for quite a number of years now.

    Pull cord switch, no L1 or COM

    Assuming it's not a 2-way switch then it will make no difference to whether it's switched "on" or "off" which terminals the conductors are connected into.
