Good grief - did NICEIC really write that?! It's guaranteed to confuse!

BAS does make valuable contributions, and at just over 3%, his 'Thanks'
ost ratio is pretty good. However, before his ego gets too excited, I would point out that many of us can better 3% (in some cases {not me!} considerably so).Kind Regards, John

Was it definetly a grub screw, ive got some like that and its a sort of machined rivet to attach an internal spring to maintain the tension
Maybe not to be honest, I didn't look to close.
Neither would I - it was in response to the photo of such a contraption that I asked why would you not use a flange coupler:
which is just like a conduit coupler and a bush, but has that flange on one side and a washer on the other to spread the load when connecting to galvanised trunking.
Fair enough - that obviously distorts the statistics. However, another distortion, in the other direction, results from the fact that (at least for the past couple of years of my observing), a surprisingly high proportion of posts for which he gets Thanked are not actually ones which are answering electrical questions! A much more interesting statistic, which is not available to us, would be the number of Thanks a member gets from the OP of a thread - I'm not sure he would do too well with that one!

Nothing wrong with using a standard flange coupler like those, I just hate these crappy thin steel push fit/spring/grub screw crap.
You'll probably not be surprised to learn that I don't regard this forum as a popularity contest.
No, not surprised at all
In passing, what do you think about that quote, apparent from the 'NICIEC Part P Fact Sheet' , on which I recently commented?

Typical b****cks written by an electrician who is either too thick or too lazy to read and understand the Building Regulations.
There is no reason why the electricians who work for NICEIC should be any less thick or any less lazy than the ones who post here demonstrating exactly the same handicaps and attitudes.

Maybe - or perhaps written by the office junior, or the school kid doing 'work experience'!
That could be read as a generalisation - which I'm sure you didn't intend!

And checked and approved for publication by whom?
Not if read properly - I talked about the people who post here showing a serious lack of understanding of the regulations, not all of the people here.
My point was that one cannot tell how to 'read it properly', because it is potentially ambiguous.
