 Re: Changes in the 17th edition....
Just going back to the remark that Tony (My new Hero - are you Tony Cable ? the face of the NIC ?) made re the freezer socket having to be on an RCD. It wouldn't if it was wired surface. Does this mean the return of the surface rewire? well on the lighting and fixed equipment anyway. Are we not dumbing down by insisting everthing is on an RCD to accommodate the DIYer and worse than that the Kitchen Fitter?
Finally an unrelated RANT
i returned to a house i rewired in 2004 the other day to swap a spur to a socket outlet (which had been the boiler supply (own circuit fixed equipment & on non rcd side of split load) when i wired it. I enquired to the home owner why the Gas Board had not wanted to re-route the circuit, which would have been dead easy and where the new boiler in rthe new position was now fed from. My worst fears were confounded. They had spurred of off the Immersion Heater!! but hey they part P'd it so that's ok. Sludgy Rats
