Sure, I agree, not the least because it was not the OP, but rather JohnD, who introduced the concept of our electrician friend who is always seemingly on holiday in Spain. However, since people started going off on that tangent, I took the opportunity to make my little comment about one probable reason for us hearing so much about that holidaying electrician!
I have to say that I've never really understood what Part P, per se, was meant to achieve. It is, after all, just one sentence which 'states the obvious' about pre-existing expectations (of the population and also the law) in terms of electrical work. OK, so it actually brought that one sentence into legislation, but there were already (and remain) plenty of other laws to deal with people whose electrical work results in personal injuries, deaths or fires ... so I'm far from convinced that Part P, per se, achieved anything other than making it appear that 'they' were doing something!
Fixing capping. Sometimes clips/capping nails just bounce out, so drill fixing is easier.
I can't believe that the OP has to resort to a DIY forum to find out what size cable he needs to buy
