Exporting the earth?

[thekingiam]

ha ha i love this site!! so many "debates" going on and discusions talked about in a calm and adult manner without tempers being frayed !

this is what sets this site above all others. there are occasional ruffled feathers, but on the whole a good forum. if anyone tries to get uppity, a verbal smack on the arse by a mod. soon puts things all smiles again.

Including the use of bad language

the following post is meant to be read in the spirit it is posted.

having been in the trade for a while, when the height of accuracy of resistance measurement was an AVO 7, with a bit of good eyesight you could just about get an accuracy of 1 and a bit ohms, not the zillionth of an ohm we read to now, a caclculator was a slip stickmade by thornton's who now make chocolate, and the only digital equipment was a red led watch, on some boffins drawing board, sketched in pencil, it was usual to TT outbuildings, as most installs were TT anyway . nowadays we have a choice. i only export the earth if the outbuilding has no extraneous metal conductive parts. the dangers inherent having been expained on this thread better than i can. so far nobody has been electrocuted on one of my installs, so i will continue as an old fossil until my legs give way, or goverment increase pensions to a level wherein i can live in the style to which i am accustomed.

The key point being that you know that you have a choice on the installation method.

what bad language? that word is in the oxford english dictionary. i do agree that bad language is not recommended, and do not use such. anything
" bad" would automatically be starred.

I think that was a subpoint. The main point being is that he's old.

Perhaps best if I don't ask you to define 'old' Simon?
