Another question about cables (6.0mm & 2.5)

[davesparks]

Just to emphasise it is not the concept of the lollipop circuit I dislike, as that is not really any different from having a sub-main to an out building's CU and then a ring for the sockets there.

No, it is the very high probability of being undocumented and hidden after it was done.

The only time I think it is useful is when you need to install an isolator for all sockets in a room, such as a classroom or studio.
You can take a 4 or 6 to the isolator and then a ring from the load side.

Some holiday, alert don't let this guy in your apartment, it will be stripped out. lol

It's also fairly commonly used in a kitchen where a redundant cooker point supply is used to supply an additional ring circuit. Seen that several times, but in preference with that scenario I'd prefer to extend in 4.0mm and create a 32a radial.

I get an ear bash if I even mention a dodgy looking light or socket on holiday.
God forbid I took any tools with me

Some holiday then? you sound like a friend of mine completely obsessed with electrics, how did you manage to get the tools through customs??

Can imagine you and you're GF relaxing on the beach, Her reading the latest fashion Mag and you with a pile of PE mags, rapture

Once brought the OSG to read on a holiday.... Not sure if that is sad or not.

Not as sad as this Guy checking the electrics when he is the bedroom with his GF, but still SAD Spoon, shame on you, lol

I feel the need to clear a couple of things up here...

She was unpacking the suitcase, anybody that has been on holiday with a female will understand this one. Personally I wouldn't bother and just grab what I needed from the case (or tip the lot in the corner) but no, everything had to be either hung on rails, folded and put in a drawer, or examined again for marks and creases that might of happened during transit.
I would always carry at least 1k of Euros in cash, but didn't trust the safes in the room and felt uncomfortable carrying it around. So I would look for storage spaces. ie, Ceiling voids, floor panels, shower access etc etc.

Anyway, that's why I had the front of the consumer unit off at that one time and curiosity set in causing me to start removing the other socket and access panel. Ok my girlfriend might not of spoke to me for the rest of the day but 25 years later I've now learnt what a 'lolipop' circuit is so all has turned out well in the end.

Well nearly ok, women seem to give me a wide berth for some reason.. I went on a date last Summer and was looking around an old historical building, I noticed led bulbs in old style light fittings and happened to mention this to her every room we walked in to. Never saw her again

I think I need to date a lady spark if I can find one!

only lady spark i ever met in person was a real Hitler in Knickers. 5 blokes left site due to her unreasoning demands. She expected everything on a plate and would have gone the sexual harrassment route if nobody obliged.
