yup. there's no "s" in gloucester. there's bugger all else either.
 
makes me think of the great one... dylan thomas. under milk wood. the village was called "llareggub", which is bugger all reversed. what a poet!.
 
Since his post has been fully answered I'll try for some help.
I've similarly done a week long course and am fully qualified although I don't have this Pat's testing course, I don't know who she is either so any help on that would be great. I have got a P part though as it was included in the £6000 I paid to the training people. I'd ring them but I don't want to look stupid to them so thought I'd ask you friendly lot.
I've been consulted by a customer who wants power to an outbuilding which is an unspecified distance away from the house. I also should add that the gear that's going into this outbuilding hasn't been decided either. I reckon a 4mm flat cable with an earth a live and a neutral should do the job. I think the outbuilding will be brick built but couldn't swear to that just now.
I plan on putting an reduced current device on each end of the cable as I think it will increase safety.
Any help available please? I also need to get this right as I'm using this job to get my P part membership off this

I refer you to my previous post for descrimination of devices.

I think you are being ripped off by your training provider as PAT testing is usually included.

It's actually not that complicated.

Just hit print and apply the label.

If done correctly you can make good money.

A lot of people make the mistake of testing each item before applying the label.

This just slows you down.

It will pass anyway.

You can tell just by looking at the plug as you apply the label.
 
I've also paid my 400 and am having my shed wiring assessment next week. My friend who is a time served spark ( Pentonville college of secure education ) looked at my work and told me the rcd in the shed was good but a ---- in the kitchen was a better way to go as the assessor would spend more time looking at that than he would the socket in the shed
I didn't do milfs at college but my friend told me they are easy to fix as long as they are screwed or nailed you'll be ok.
Is there a maximum distance they have to be from the fuse box? He told me to look in my regs book under selection and erection but Ive only got the readers digest guide to shed wiring and the last three pages are missing.
Can anyone help?
