Did they get their money back too or not?

we all think in feet and inches but have to work in metres/millimeters, (except the under 30's who don't know any better). it's better for you as everyone there uses feet and inches.

Telectrix I know that there is 25.4 mm to 1 inch and that’s it. I’m 61 so it’s to late for me to get into metrics

 

[telectrix]

y'all over there stand up for your beliefs. over here, EU says "jump" and our pathetic clowns of a government say "how high?".that's why we voted for brexit. sooner we get out the better. let them get on with their frogs legs and worst. long live the Confederacy. ( oops.hope Carolina wasn't a yankee state.

me too. just can't visualise --- mm. have to use a dual standard tape measure. we have a buiding reg. forheight of sockets and switches ( for new builds), 450mm to 1200 mm from floor. to my mind that's 18" to 42".if no tape measure handy, then it's knees to ----. that's for a standard, non-metric electrician @ 5' 8".a tall guy would be inaccurate.

Hell telectrix pack up and come on over here but we are no where even perfect we have our problems but in the UK y’all don’t stand a chance all the power company’s then the meter company who you pay your bill to when y’all go out it appears to me that they paperwork y’all till you feel like throwing up. I do like our situation I draw a permit go put the job in call in for a final inspection he comes stays maybe 2 hours checking then puts a sticker on the cover off the meter he even calls the power company and I’m done

I'm looking forward to the UK going back to pounds, shillings and pence ! (20 shillings to the pound and 12 pence to the shilling... for those that didn't know). We'll need to arrange counselling for all the youngsters ! Some can barely cope with the decimal system !

I'm even more confused now.

I retired early due to ill health. I had to find something to do, other countries wiring methods interested me.

I can state quite categorically that BS7671 comes 2nd in the male bovine excrement race!

Carl I also are in the same situation as you are and that’s why I joined this forum. I love it and it helps to keep my mind sharp, and please don’t let some of the reply’s bother you but beware they will test you. LOL welcome to the forum

HSE, EAWR and the DNO have the answer. You need to talk to your DNO.
