and im sorry to say that you're obviously someone who never really made it in life aren't you? - someone who's apparently an electrician but is never out on any jobs and is instead always on this forum telling others that they dont have a clue about xy or z. You sure you're not just some geek still living with his parents? Someone who has the time to read up on Part P regs and is just pretending to be an electrician? Someone who doesn't really have any proper experience and so if anyone asks a slightly taxing question, you have to refer back to your standard answer of employ an electrician?????? i have my doubts!
Perhaps you were looking in the mirror when composing this vitriolic rant.
Just for completeness, I should mention that you yourself suggested twice that the OP should call an electrician - so clearly you also have doubts about this abilities.
So tell me, how do you manage to make a living as an electrician even though you're never out on any jobs because unless you're someone very special, someone who can defy every law of physics and be in 2 places at the same time - ie a job and on the internet answering every question with ur standard answer of ur thick pay an electrician to do everything?????????
Oh Dear you do appear to be having a trantrum.
By the way I haven't called anyone thick although its 'your' not ur.
As for being in two places at once - well I think quantum mechanics is a bit out of your celebral range so I wont go there - but I achieve this by managing my resources effectively and profitably thankyou very much. In addition as a member of a competent persons scheme I also do EICR work for clients and solicitors on the properties for sale. Given the time of your post, I could ask you the same question but to be honest I'm not interested.
stop trying to kick up a fuss and trying to make it out to be more technical than it is we both know it isn't !
Well clearly you seem to think there should be different standards for the diyer and the professional - you are entitled to your opinion - and while your may have very low standards I don't - so expect to be challenged when you make statements without having considered all the issues involved. Furthermore since we have to show how we determine our calculations perhaps you could demonstrate here how you arrived at the cable sizes you did.
And as a footnote, what about your massive assumptions? How do you know the OP hasn't already got plans to test? And can't you read, he says he insisted on RCD protection??????!!!!!!!!!!
Not assumptions, questions really. Drawn from having read his previous posts, his highly colourful language when challenged over how and why he is doing things and especially when he openly asks how he can flout building regulations. Something with which you are not averse to do yourself I note - you did complete an EIC, conduct the appropriate tests and notify your LABC over that shower installation didn't you?
Not sure how your reference to the OP insisting on RCD protection demonstrates anything. Circuit design will demonstrate the need or not for RCD protection.
And contrary to your belief, as I already illustrated in the example above, there are some (NOT all) unscrupulous electricians out there who even though they are apparently 'competant' CANNOT do the job themselves!!!!!!
If you have an evidence to support this claim then why havent you reported them to the competent persons scheme that they are registered with.
Again, didn't you read what he said? He said he's already done 5 rewires a while back and is not sure about hte current regs and so was asking for clarification......!
Yes, thankyou I did read that, I actually told you about it as well. But from his previous posts this OP has already partially rewired this house, he even bought the Consumer Unit he needed so why does he need clarification of cable size?
