Not trying to be difficult or sarcastic Joey but that suprises me, I have never heard anyone not be trained in installing a ring main in a domestic setting. To be honest it is standard and school boy stuff. Out of interest Pal who trained you? a company or an individual?

Small company. Yeah seems to be the case, radials throughout the property. I obviously know how to wire a ring main, but never do them.

Ah I see, so the guy or Guys you worked with just liked to install radials hense your method in this kitchen? anyhow No biggie, just wondered.

Can you locate both ends of radial and how difficult would this be to join them and make a ring at cu?

A bell rings somewhere 27amps for 2.5 not sure where I read it though

Given your claimed qualifications, I'm surprised.

 

[Pete999]

What do you mean claimed

 

[HandySparks]

What do you mean claimed

OK, if you don't like that, delete the word 'claimed':

Given the qualifications listed in your profile, I'm surprised.

 

[telectrix]

but not remembering whether he read it in the osg or the beano has nothing to do with qualifications. more like altzeimers. i can't remember what happened yesterday sometimes. OK if i've been on the beer, but when 100% sober, it's frightening. what was the question?

I wasn't going to defend my statement, I no longer practice our trade, retirement and a slight immobility prevents me and has done for a few years, I try and keep up to date with the current trends and changes, I wont stoop so low as to say " when I said I had read it somewhere" I assumed as we are all adults it would be understood that I meant BS7671. As for my profile I can assure you that what I said in my application is correct and I take offence at someone disputing this end of rant and end of subject as far as I'm concerned.

OK, my apologies. I just took what you said literally, and in some cases here, the poster would have meant it.

That's one of the problems with forums, you can't see the nuances of expression that tell you if someone's being literal or not.


p.s., It helps to avoid this sort of misunderstanding if you throw in the odd smiley. It takes time, but worth doing when you're not face to face.
