Suppliers of hobs probably get loads of unnecessary call outs to ‘faulty’ hobs

Give me a break, @Pete999
I was at a wedding on Saturday and I think the alcohol consumption exceeded my recommended daily intake by a week or two.

Emergency shopping on Saturday morning when I realise my “good” shoes were a size and a half too small? Don’t know how that happened when my suit still fits.

It was a strange wedding. Bride is one of my wife’s old school friends with 2 teenage kids and groom is 10 years younger. Groom is in a band too, soo he spent more of the night on the stage rather than on the floor speaking to guests.

Best laugh was just after the ceremony when new husband and wife departed to the romantic tones of AC/DC, “Highway to Hell”

Considered maybe, but manufacturers instructions are guidance only and do not have to be followed, especially when they are wrong, which quite surprisingly is quite often.

Actually, some MIs do have to be complied with.
Just about anything to do with CUs.
If the MIs say you need 100A main switch and 100A RCDs, then that’s what you have to have.
