Floor looks filthy ...you would be hard pressed to double over conductors in most plug-tops. In an ideal world they would be ferruled.

As soon as I saw a power tool being used I lost all interest in the fantasy that this guy was an electrician.

Lee I agree, but times change unfortunately.

We used to get paid 8 Minutes to change a plug top when we was doing rewires in the early 80s, changing 15A round pin plugs to new fangled 13 Ampers! Got pretty fast at them, (think i used my little Yankee!)

 

[Andy-1960]

Maybe we should all start doing videos showing how fast we can put a plug on - bit like the omelette challenge on Saturday morning kitchen. See who is fastest.. rough jobs get disqualified!! Lol

No seriously, I can do the crossword in under ten mins, it's the other thing that takes a bit more time.

Jib firm, rates were crap so they paid in hours. Rewire worth 60hrs etc
So on the cards but on price. Kept you motivated!

Yes, I remember the stupid rate sheets that we were given.

Remember talking to one of the chippies on site with us, they were given 20 minutes to cut, fit & trim a loft opening including clearing up.

Yeah things used to get really complicated when apprentice A was on one third time, Apprentice B was on half time, and the improver was on three quarters time!

Yep, but people reckon things were less complicated in those days.

 

[telectrix]

yep. these days, apprentice A is crying for his mother, apprentice 2 is texting, and the improver is scratching his arse wondering why his intermediate lighting switchisn't working as it should,because he's fitted a D/P switch.

In the level three C&G book circular terminals do not require the cable or copper to be bent over based on the premise that the copper will naturally settle under the screw...Don't shoot the messenger!

I know! It does sound like it but I was pointing out that people are trying to save seconds here and minutes there when they'll spend the time saved wasting it somewhere else!
No more potty talk ok?

Pffff I could do a loft opening in about 10 seconds just depends on how fast you misplace your footing on a joist in the loft and the time it takes your leg to exit the wood lathe and plaster ceiling.

My kids where at Uni I don't think they know how a broom works, I had bruised nuts and spoke in a high pitched vice for a while.

I'll post a pic when I get home unless you have a plug top you can look at where you push the copper in and careful observation will reveal that the hole you push the cable into and screw down on to has a circular shape akin to a cylindrical shape. You have to look carefully at where you push the cable in at the point of termination of the cable. You will see that the hole is circular or round if you prefer? I hope that is of some assistance in identifying what The book referred to. Any questions will be answered in a forthcoming seminar on the subject, attendance fees are very reasonable.

We thought you were referring to the old MK style plugs, with the top hat type terminal screw.
