Cabling where practicality goes a miss

[cliffed]

Would any of your guys actually run t&e,between the clips of the guttering,around the front of a house, porch like extension.
Seems the only way to do it,the cable would be hidden ...but...what’s your take on this.
It’s gonna be a rubbish job anyway.

Definitely not the done thing around 2000..which only just feels like yesterday

I remember seeing some flood lights round a Council yard wired in T&E.
Looked like they’d used scaffold poles to mount the floods and run the T&E up the inside of the pole.
There was about 10 or 12 inches of the cable showing between where it exited the pole and entered the flood.

They don't have a Clerk of Works on jobs like they used to have in the past. Just another downgrade of trades in general.

I did the 16th edition, and I don't recall 20 years ago T/E being okay to install outside, but with you saying that and someone already liking your comments, then perhaps I must have been doing it wrong back then by not installing it outside.

I may have been taking the pee pee with that one.........

This was back in the mid 90s.
Don’t know how long They’d been there?

Seemed to disappear about 15 years ago around here, I remember.
