Rum, you aboslutely shock me
you come on here pontificating about about how wonderful your standards are, criticize my teaching and ethics, simply becuase you appear to have difficulty in interpretating plain english, when all the time you are working as a sparks when you are not even qualified to the 16th edition, never mind the 17th edition
And heres the news flash - you DO need to know it. If you dont know the current rules then ergo you cant know:
A. When you are complying with them
B. When you are contravening them
Now i could go into a long tirade about the difference between acceptable practice and best practice, but quite frankly Rum, i dont think you would listen
Additionally, try reading my posts - when i did i ever mention plastering over crimped connections?
Yes, i discussed crimped connections buried in walls, but theres more than way to skin a cat
plastering over them after sealing them would be a solution.
Crimping them inside a sunken architrave box, then putting a blanking plate over that would be a better solution
crimping them and then sliding some oval conduit over the joint, and sealing it before plastering would also be better than just plastering over
and relacing the entire cable would be an even better solution.
However, Rum, theres the ideal world, where we use the best solution, and the real world that people like me and Ciruus inhabit, where sometimes we have to adapt a solution to the environment
Now if i told my students 'the only way is to replace the entire cable' that would be a lie
whereas if i said 'the BEST way is to replace the entire cable, however these are other soltions that are available to you' then that would be a true statement
And I reiterate my point Rum, if you do periodics, and pick something up you have to number it between 1 and 4 and back it up with a regs number that has been contravened
and in this case, YOU would not be able to
and finally Rum
