My point is that he has very limited practical experience.Is that dealt with in the regs then?

We all have our problems with BAS, and quite often wish that he could change his style/tone (and do a little less 'policing') but I don't think it's fair to suggest that he 'pretends' to be an electrician just because his knowledge is such that, to many people, he probably appears to be an electrician.I am certainly not suggesting that he is unintelligent - just that he is a buffoon.
To be fair John you really don't carry on the way that ban-all-sheds does. You are not abrasive like he is, though you are not afraid to offer your opinion which is fair enough. I really don't think there is any parallel between yourself and the aforementioned user.I imagine that some people think/believe much the same about me, but at least they don't accuse me of pretending to be an electrician.
Kind Regards, John
No, it's not in my nature to behave as he does, nor to do so much hunting for little things to criticise/'correct' (or 'rant about'!!). However, I am probably somewhat at risk of 'being mistaken for an electrician' in a similar way to what undoubtedly sometimes happens with him.To be fair John you really don't carry on the way that ban-all-sheds does.

But unlike you I can read properly.It is important to remember that not only is ban-all-sheds not an Electrician, indeed he never has been an Electrician.
It's probably important to remember that the majority of participants in this DIY forum are not, and never have been, electricians, or even 'electricians'.
So far, in the discussion of this issue, in two threads, you have called me a moron, a buffoon, and a liar, and all because when you said that a cpc cannot be considered a live conductor because it does not carry any current in normal use I pointed out that sometimes it does.To be fair John you really don't carry on the way that ban-all-sheds does. You are not abrasive like he is...
As you presumably realise, I was using the word in it's conventional sense, to refer to someone whose 'occupation' was that of an electrician - regardless of considerations of training, knowledge, qualifications, experience, skill or competence.Define " electrician " Is it (a) One who follows a set of rules about how to install cables and fittings or (b) One who can construct those rules based on a comprehensive understanding of electrical circuits and electrical safety
