    Lazy Electrician? Nooooo

    Try as I might I just couldn't work out how Plumber got the pipe up through the ceiling and soldered etc without damaging the cable. So I've had to admit the possibility of a lazy Electrician who couldn't be bothered to make their own hole or even clip the cable. Another dream shattered, oh dear!

    Rip off insurance deals with the insurers on this forum no surely not (NOT)

Did not bother with PI and Indemnity or that will probably be another double thier money offer. Anyone else tried a quote from this forum and was it good. They must think us dumb...

    Radio adverts about overloading sockets.

    Has anyone else heard the new advert along the lines of 'don't plug in too much into an extension lead it will overload the electrical socket' Surely the 13a fuse in extension lead's plug top is to stop this very occurence?? Ok, a 13a fuse doesn't break at 13a as we all know but surely the...

    why not make all circuits radial?

    Why in the UK are we so fixated with ring circuits. I know decades ago it was decided to use the ring system as it was deemed to be cheaper but surely that can't be the case now.

    Surely there must be a Reg against this?!

    My neighbour has put up a large garage that sits alongside his house but not joined to it. He asked me to wire & fit out lights inside & sockets as well. Told him he needs to get SWA to supply it as he was insisting on runnning the supply in (save money I assume) & for some reason (mainly cos...
