I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Apparently this lights always worked, RCD only started tripping the other day.

Why do people make these claims? only ends up costing them more...

probably not switched it on for months.

House had it right "All people lie"

You jest, but I had a client the other day who requested I fit a C20 breaker to a BG CU for a foul water pump, he offered to pick up the part if I could fit some time in, only to be informed his wholesaler had given him a wylex and a hager and "one would definitely fit"

wonder if they, or their employers, realise the potential of giving advice like this...

Wholesalers are the font of all knowledge one said to me the other day, cold out ain't it, you know what he was correct.

This video popped up in Youtube suggestions today. Delroy's customer claimed the work was carried out by a spark, so I'll leave it here for you to decide deride.

Really special stuff can be found near the end, but plenty of horrors from start to finish.

Totally using the wrong testers to trace a ring fault, knowing the loop resistance is key to working out if you have some kind of ring or a bodged spider network. Also ELI results at each socket could give clues as to what is a possible radial before you even start removing tops, he will get their eventually but its time wasting trying to find the fault with a simply voltage/continuity tester.
What is confusing here is he brings out a top end multi-function tester at the end so it's not like he hasn't got the goods to do it.

That's the cleanest and most tidy house I have seen in any of these U-Tube video's, that's about the best I can say for it.

Have you watched Artisan Electrics video of his apprentice new tools, the apprentice has not got a clue about anything concerning electrics, I would expect someone going into the trade as an apprentice to have some knowledge.

Parallel conductors to cope with the high load ?

 

[MrPupsi]

Haha, to be fair I’ve done something similar for a socket in a plant room.
Wholesaler was closed for the day and didn’t want to make a second visit to site for a 16a mcb!

 

[Dustydazzler]

As above almost certainly a case of the 32a was empty so they made a mini ring for the spur for the intercom

No all was installed at the same time for landlords communal areas. There are three in the same block all the others on 10A radials.

Deal on board with a selection of breakers.

 

[nicebutdim]

Found the wholesale had supplied one breaker incorrectly and didn't fancy trying to exchange it late in the day?

 

[Raptor0014]

Had my assessment today. The guy was so impressed with my socket installation he took a picture for me.

Today's lovelynessess

Novel no wonder the lid wouldn't fit properly

Bathroom pullcord ah no wait no pullcord just bathroom bodgery!


Kitchen light packed up so we have tied this t&e to the gas pipe and plugged it into a socket. Mmm better have a look at the socket too!

Oh b@l@x!!
I love landlords EICRs!

And for my final offensive offering. Elsewhere in the UK, My gate is not working can you have a look at it?

Yeaas ok then can you get rid of the spaghetti so I can see the wires. Oh wait the wires are the spaghetti
