Here's my vote... sorry, split decision

Grrrgh, you have to amend the voting odds, i.e. 1/1 to 1/2. Never been to the bookies!

What happens when a part p 17th edition qualified electrician does the job,

There is no such thing. Part P is not a qualification.

Agree, Karl you need to realise part P is a building regulation, and 17th edition qualification is an open book qualification, both of these "courses" are designed to enhance a qualified experienced Electrician's knowledge, they do not make the person sitting these courses an Electrician, it makes those people that think it does into a dangerous combination, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

8. Fault on an adjacent circuit 1/1
9. None of the above 1/1
10. OP is imagining things 1/1
11. 'R' in the month 1/1
12. J Corbyn's house, enough said 1/1

Rules;

Placed my vote

• IF I'M RIGHT YOU ALL OWE ME £10

Cable insulation compromised by nail or screw, or compressed in some way and only now coming to light due to the high voltage spikes "jumping the gap" to earth when the fluorescents are turned off.

(Okay, it's an outsider, but it's definitely in with a chance.)
