    A Moral issue?

    IMO as a smoker we have had our turn let the non smokers sit outside in the damp cold so called smoking area. The good old days of sitting round a table in the warm pub playing cards with the old boys some smokers and some not no one complained about us puffing on our smoke as we checked our cards...

    Domestic electrician course

    Hi amarok88 and welcome to the forum. Doing domestic electrical is IMO not easy at all. I bet there are a few very experienced sparks on this forum that have had to stand back and think hard on some domestic installs as each house is different from the next. Not all electrical courses start with...

    Lowest price per item you've heard of for PAT Testing?

    Exactly why i didnt stay with the firm a total joke they were. Impossible to do the amount of tests they required properly i.e remove plug tops e.t.c and I would not put my name to any dodgy testing. You are right in saying sticker boys and thats exactly what this firm was.

    Lowest price per item you've heard of for PAT Testing?

    A firm i worked for has previously charged £50 for the first 60 items then 50p per item after that. I know a lot of dodgy testers are out there I was expected to do 250 tests a day minimum for one firm I lasted a day told them to poke it as there way of testing in large offices and big london...

    Extension Cables able to take power safely?

    I was always under the impression that an extension lead is a temporary solution to provide power. If you need an extension lead for permanent power then there is not enough sockets on the mains ring for what you require. With the load you have explained extension leads are not the answer.

    Just had full rewire done, cables very close to surface or coming through skim

    Personally I think thats a terrible job. He has cut a chase and not used any capping? I have always been told and taught to use some sort of capping, oval preferred but but plastic flat does the job as well as its put in to protect the cable from plasterers trowel. plastic capping is peanuts and...

    C&G 2365 Level 3 units

    Apolagies Karin I may have assumed Leo was a mature student. You stated this course is designed for college kids? I will disagree with you there as will a few other mature students. As for missing days on the level 3, not advisable as its the most intense year connected with electrical theory.

    Back box lugs and cross threads.

    I may be wrong here but the older back boxes had a different thread imperial if im right which when you use the newer faceplates on them the newer faceplates have metric thread screws 3.5mm which are different and can strip the older boxes thread. I always use the 3.5mm re threading tool on old...

    Dangerous how to guide.

    WOW absolutely unbelievable it amazes me how this person thinks its a safe and good way of doing it. So many dangerous practices in the video and he is happy with it. This sure is a warning on D.I.Y videos on the internet of how many dodgy how to videos are out there.
