Wrong assumption.I'm quite aware that the MCB would cut at the sign of any trouble.
No assumption was made. You clearly indicated that you are not fully aware by asking for advice abut how to join cablesYou've made assumptions about my lack of awareness
and so that I can help friends who are embarking on DIY
Well said....Wrong assumption.
If the trouble was a couple of kW of heat being created at a failed joint then the MCB would NOT trip.

I was thinking a standard terminal strip with insulation tape
If you think like that then please do not offer help to your friends
It's not an assumption. This is why circuits now have MCBs Bernard. You're going off the assumption that the joint has failed before it's been fitted, which is a bit flawed as far as your argument goes. You don't like joints - clearly lol. But Bernard they wouldn't manufacture these parts for this specific reason if they were not fit for purpose. You are clearly liked and well respected on this forum but you are fishing for likes here lol.Wrong assumption.

I don't really understand why it was okay for your old sparky mate who has sadly passed to be very keen on unbroken cable runs but it is not okay for Bernardgreen or others on here to feel the same?It's not an assumption.

I have developed quite a bit of electrical knowledge over the years working on my own property. Not only to save money but to develop an education on the subject for myself and so that I can help friends who are embarking on DIY.
