I get the sense that this is intentionally being drawn out by the OP for the sake of it.

I am not the one being objectionable. As I have written, my experinces appear to be 100% the opposite to many here.

Very rough rule of thumb for sizing cables is that for lengths up to 50m the current carrying capacity is all you need to consider. Above 50m other considerations come into play.

School was just letting me loose on crayons in 1980, but the colours hadn't been harmonised.

Did they take away your black and red crayons and give you blue and brown?

Apparently the IET don't have a sense of humour!

Would love to know how many 'concerned' electricians actually contacted them. I'm rather offended that they think so little of us that they think we might base our entire installation and design on a single and obvious spoof video. Or are they worried that good Youtube channels like eFixx that give out free training are long term denting their sales of books and guides.

What a load of ……!
Why would ‘concerned electricians’ contact suppliers unless they fell for it hook line and sinker.
Somewhat ironically, I thought a video about the new RCD testing regime was an April fool and that turned out to be real.
It’s sad that 0.5 sq mm T+E was the more plausible of the two.

I still don't know if it's real!
I'm not known for my common sense
Could someone please put me out of my misery
