18th Edition Bonding requirements

[Rpa07]

Had a nosey round a house once, plastic water pipe hanging in a big arc from cellar ceiling joists, with a brass stock cock half way along, with a nice juicy 10mm G/Y cable clamped to it, also hanging in a big arc, back to the CU.

Clueless!

And why do we not have a photo - you know the forum rules . . . .
If we can laugh at someone else’s stupidity - We will!

I'm struggling to see what the point of the extra sentence in the new regs is?

It's changed nothing practical. All it's done is muddy the waters. How many people are going to take it as: 'If the water/gas comes into the building in plastic, then I won't carry out bonding'?

Here's something similar I found a while back. The plumbing in the agricultural building had been changed to plastic, but the label says don't remove, so they didn't
Edit - pipe and clamp was sitting on the floor but still attached to the MET with that g/y. Unfortunately I'd tidied it up before the pic, sorry.

Sounds like the old broken record is on again.

Not worth responding to.

Not worth responding to.

You just did

 

[Pete999]

You just did

Would be rude not to respond to an insult like that wouldn't it Wesward, what a pity there is not a way to ignore a Moderator.

 

[westward10]

Was only in a bit of jest Pete no bad intentions.

And yet again post removed by a certain mod without explaining why. Have the decency to say why it’s deleted even if it’s for your own adgenda

What do you mean by a certain Mod, I removed your reply yet had nothing to do with the previous exchange between pete and westy.
Your comment was removed for two reasons and that was because it did not help the situation and it is none of your concern.
It was an exchange between two grown men / members.
I'm pretty sure they are big enough and ugly enough to resolve whatever it was without your intervention.

It’s a free country ain’t it

And why no heads up on why it was removed until I complained

 

[GMES]

Just to add to my last post, if you had bothered to read the notification on your deleted post , it clearly states reason for deletion as Not Helping.

 

[GMES]

And why no heads up on why it was removed until I complained

We've just cross posted, I've explained in my last post.
As for waiting for you to complain, that is utter rubbish I have only been logged in for 10 minutes. I replied as soon as I saw your comment.
