    LABC don't think I'm qualified to wire my house

    As I alluded to mate im just a bit stressy knickers at the moment. We move onwards and er...upwards lol. I know MANY councils in England do not accept the method that op's council have...And that was/is my gripe. It is NOT one organization. It is not based on a definitive set of qualifications...

    LABC don't think I'm qualified to wire my house

    I for one apologize to all for getting heated...As happens sometimes im letting home-life stress come out in some of my ill tempered replies. No excuse. End of the day the OP now has his definitive answer, Which as always is usually got by calling/emailing "The Man". As far as op is concerned he...

    LABC don't think I'm qualified to wire my house

    I am a bit miffed to be honest Midwest. I just didn't like being told that I was "talking out of my proverbial" by someone who actually it turns out really does not know what the scheme requirements are nor what several local councils allow or do not allow. Deep breath lol....I know it's just...

    LABC don't think I'm qualified to wire my house

    Unbelievable what some people are spouting and stating it as fact... BS 7671 IS a level 3 exam and Does entitle you to register with a scheme and they use the level 3 as their acceptance. Thank god they are on the back of my current JIB gold card.....They may well be superseded and replaced but...

    LABC don't think I'm qualified to wire my house

    From someone who was pontificating about ME talking out of my proverbial.... 1. The regs IS a level 3 course and meets the requirement 2. I have already told you......You could get your Aunt Beryl to do the 18 day course and then apply to join...I have never heard of anybody being outright...

    LABC don't think I'm qualified to wire my house

    Nice way to put it lol. Ok I live and do most of my work in Scotland.....I do "some" contracting when I am living in kent...I lead a double life lol..well it feels like it. So If I may try to address your points 1. I was under the impression that with the correct qualifications you could do the...

    LABC don't think I'm qualified to wire my house

    If there is no appeal then this is one of them cases where I wish some board millionaire electrician takes their council to court. This insistence that you can only notify your work if you are registered in a scheme is just full of holes and begging to be tested in a court under lets say...

    Pete's Videos Say it like it is Mate

    Why are you "out" ? I have always found that to debate my own thoughts feelings and fears with other people who actually may NOT agree with me give me a better balanced view of whatever the subject we talk about. There is nothing more destructive than an echo chamber which facebook twiiter...

    Pete's Videos Say it like it is Mate

    Nope but I do believe that to be granted permanent residence in a country not of your birth is not a "right" it is more of a privilege which can be revoked. Just the way I see it really. I do think a persons country has or should have ultimate responsibility over their welfare.....weather that...

    Pete's Videos Say it like it is Mate

    Thats all fine Midwest and i suspect you are correct...but the point I was trying to make is we have plenty of our own scumbags why separate ours from theirs ? I wouldn't say our pedo's are any better or worse than theirs same for any criminal. One point I would make is that I would...

    Pete's Videos Say it like it is Mate

    Oh come on telectrix you can do better than that surely ? That sort of statement I expect from my 4 year old niece when she informs me that although she has been naughty it is not as naughty as X. I can honestly remember trying these arguments against my unimpressed parents....and 40 odd years...

    Just click bate for those that are into that sort of view. As a human race we seem to have an inability to learn ANYTHING from the mistakes of the previous generation. All I will say is this is how it always starts. Find a soft target group. Find the most extreme "worst" of said soft target...

    Micc

    I don't know if it is still the case but ALL English Heritage buildings at one time were specked for micc. This was still in force after FP became the fashion must have lol. So I wouldn't be so sure as micc has many practical benefits for buildings such as the likes of Buck house and the like...

    Upgrading electrical systems in Buckinham Palace.

    Im in the south east and I would happily do the 90 min commute if this turned out to be micc for X years work. I did a block of flats just across the road from her's if that counts ? Funny aside - we all used to retire to the roof of said flats for lunch break as it was a nice hot summer that...

    Mini Trunking across the ceiling....yuk lol. Why can't you mini trunk to ceiling and then fish across ceiling ? Consider feeding switches and taking SW+N from Switch to fitting.....Or even a 3 core in the event you need a feed at light for say a fan connection or to tap off for smoke detectors...

    Chasing cable in a ceiling

    INDEED YOU DID - I was a little peeved by your "Leave it he has changed it attitude" But noticed you are a "Top poster" so backed off and left you too it lol. What I was trying to add to this thread was the "What if" factor and to open the op's eyes into why these regulations are there - what...

    Chasing cable in a ceiling

    Ok here is some light reading for you. As I said Bs7671 is referred to often in court to show compliance or non compliance with the EAW act 1989....Which IS an act of parliament which IS therefore a law. Go and check with the guys who write the rules over at the iet forums. They have had this...

    Does this pricing for kitchen sound right? Jobs in London

    Seems sound as you are using higher quality stuff. If you were using cheapo then id reduce the skts and general points to around £50 per point. Always a decent idea now to tott up materials cost + your guarantee % markup then work out how long it will take you and multiply by your hourly...
