    I can't disagree with you mark, no we didn't touch pyro and we spent about an hour on terminating swa. I agree that some people struggle with even the most basic things but its not only Electrical Trainee that cut corners. Yes I did see pound signs and I was also sick of my job. I don't cut corners but I...

    Joint neutrals on lighting

    New Hagar Dual RCD board keeps tripping out.

    Upgrading meter tails and main earth for a C/U change

    The customer has asked for rcd protection. If he's made the customer aware that the board is ok but the customer still wants it upgrading then what does he do? Refuse?
