Not as far as I am aware, although, I would be happy to be corrected.
So have I.So I know I'm new here, but I must have missed the part where b-a-s is solely responsible for all advice offered on this forum.
I act as if I am one of the people giving advice.You certainly act as if this is your responsibility / gift whatever
Because incorrect advice must be challenged, end of. It is a responsibility shared by all.but why do you feel that you must challenge other people's opinions because you have some kind of deep-rooted requirement that you must protect all other forum members?
It doesn't work like that. Particularly when it is a case of me defending myself against unjustified criticism.I'm happy to sign up to a "I absolve b-a-s from all responsibility if, in turn, he stops commenting on my threads" clause if that makes you feel better?
Thanks, this is actually helpful, as i had (not an exaggeration...) two sockets in a 30 foot lounge, one single socket either end... So I wanted much more sockets, but could only add three each end (single to double then a double spur). This way i can just extend the ring along the wall, and actually have a meaningful number of sockets, especially as every single room in the house needs extra sockets, it would be a lot of spurs, and one room already has a spur that controls the central heating so I though i was stuck with one socket in that room!Yup.

My contention is that it really is no harder, and no more disruptive, and doesn't introduce any hidden joints, to run 2 cables to the new socket instead of one.
And contrary to those with the imagination and foresight of an amoeba, I can see that there might come a day when you'd rather have the new socket on the ring than on a spur, and that it cannot be said with certainty that it is utterly impossible for that ever to happen.
For horizontal chases, yes - and double that for vertical ones.Assuming my walls are five inches thick, that means i can go to just over 20mm deep then?
No. For the avoidance of doubt, nor has he ever been.Is BAS a qualified electrician?.
