It's like chocolate... or Lion's Midget Gems.... You can never have enough...

Makes you sick after a while though

Never liked chocolate anyway, always preferred savoury.

Now good quality dark chocolate is not bad at all, my middle daughter loves the stuff. She'd pick that over any chocolate.

well, if you put some crap on a spoon and flick it, that's a tangent.

How could you steal a child's lollypop.

 

[buzzlightyear]

have you see a kid with ice cream around the mouth,and watch the pet dog next to
him, boy the dog loves ice cream which one will eat the cornet first !

 

[ruston]

That made me smile , I have seen that . My dog used to drool watching my kids eating ice cream; that was after she had devoured her own .
Golden memories.

@Simon Linton How do you plan to provide the earth?
First of all, physically at the box you have chosen.
Secondly, I guess you are using the SWA? will the steel armour meet the requirements? Or are you TT'ing the distant end?

 

[davesparks]

Presumably because the new section of cable will be inside the house where SWA won't be required (depending on installation method).

Fair enough, but wouldn't you use a cable which allows you to keep the cpc the same size for the whole run?

I'd certainly have a little think about whether it mattered or not. In many cases it won't, provided that the cpc meets the minimum requirements over the whole length of the circuit. If the T&E runs into the board, it'll be obvious that the circuit has more than one cable type. If someone was to insert a piece of T&E into the middle of a run of SWA, I'd be less likely to approve.

why 2 x 6mm SWA? do you mean 2 cables or a 2 core SWA?

what's the earthing system, and are ther extraneous metal parts in the garage?

I mean 2 core SWA.
Earthing system is TN-S
There are no extraneous metal parts in the garage, which is brick built.
