What is dumb regarding the above disagree maybe please explain.
i wondered that.
I have noticed a lot of the "dumb" posts and the like come from the ghost watchers.

The only thing that is dumb is the choice to press the dumb button
As expected, childish acts and miss use of forum tools. Most likely from folk who know nowt about electrics.

Shouldn't be a dumb button.
Agreed I did complain about this initially but it fell on deaf ears.
I agree. Should be swapped for a thanks button

Thanks guys for the posts I have no problem if someone disagrees and would do something a different way as I may say yes not thought of that for example. but I get annoyed when people puts dumb without a counter argument.
...... chop the plug off and connect it into a FCU
...to the added confusion of PAT tester with said item on his list !
I think the dumb button gets pressed accidentally when scrolling on a phone or tablet. It's in the wrong place for a 'right hander' - left handers would always press the 'like' button by accident and no one complains about that, do they!
just a 'technicality' query - the regs are not retrospective, so the existing circuit
(assuming it was installed pre RCD days) does not have to be RCD'd. Would fitting
an RCD socket therefore comply with current regs? ( Just curious! ).

Yes as your installing a socket outlet with rcd protection.
the work you undertake must comply with the current edition of bs7671
