No it wasn't at all, in a strange way I actually enjoyed it once we got going, was a chance to exercise the old grey matter and even bounce a few questions off the assessor to get their take on things.
The assesor actually said himself he would have put the wire in question in trunking for the 6 inch run above the CU - it looks a c*ck clipped to wall (it is in pantry but just not a massive fan of bare T&E). He was pleased that I had considered the consequences of this with regard to CCC all the same so I guess they aren't trying to trip you up and if you can back up what you are doing then you have nothing to worry about.
I guess just nerves took over, all the mentions of "assessment" and the huge sums of money involved.
