is this acceptable

[lofty84]

Ive followed 2 previous electricians into a property, they have had to cover me whilst my passes are sorted out and so I am doing what they were doing for the time being.

What I am concerned about is this. Theres a kitched ring and on the last double socket of that circuit is another piece of cable which is either 1mm or 1.5mm sq which runs up to where an expeeair extracto fan is going to be fitted. I could have just wired it uptoday but I wasnt sure if you could do that. Im sure ive read on here that this is not a good idea but Im probably wrong. either way I just wanted to check and seeing as this place is full of electricians I thought it was a good palce to ask such a thing.

i would imagine that a FCU will be fitted for the fan.

Lofty is this all you have to do all night post spoof questions for attention? It really is boring.

Yeh wire it up mate. Don't test it, it's not necessary.

With that size cable you could actually suck on it too just to see if its gonna work!

 

[lofty84]

Im not making this up why even post on here if you dont want to help thats what I dont get havent you got better things to do?

 

[lofty84]

How about serve burgers or weed flower beds

Mate, I mean no disrespect but based on your posts you haven't the faintest idea about what you are doing. If another guy comes in and tests your work, and doesn't realise what he's looking at then firstly no wonder you keep tour job and secondly he must be from the same planet as you.

Crack on pal. There is a poor soul out there somewhere who will loose one of his family due to you.

What actually are you lofty? An electrician ? An apprentice? Or something else?

 

[onions1066]

Lofty if you are a keen DIY'er I would do things such as a bit of joinery or plumbing. Messing with an electrical installation is always going to end in disaster eventually if you don't know what your doing. I have no problem with people trying to better themselves but some of the things you post seem absolutely unreal!

 

[markc123]

He's bored thats what he is.

Guaranteed he's an electrician thats winding everyone up on here on purpose, happens quite regular - although not as regular as a few months back.

Lofty, you know full well that electricians on this site shoot down every chancer. This is why you're acting up to see what responses you can get.

This is why the Short courses are wrong, this guy is genuine and trying his best but looking like an ape, I blame thatcher for the demise of apprentiships, In fact I'm almost speechless.

That gives apes a bad name

 

[telectrix]

reading between the lines, it seems lofty's a trainee/apprentice whose employers are trying to make him run before he can walk. if that's the case, give the guy a break, lads.

Labour didn't help with Part P legislation and all the incompetent persons schemes that they created which allowed the boom in quick training companies

The biggest demise has only occurred in the last 10 years the quick courses put paid to any meaningful apprenticeships as you can't complete an apprenticeship in 5 weeks but you can get sufficient certs to be competent

At least the skill centres of Thatchers era produced some reasonable sparks that didn't need to resort to the internet to solve all the problems they came across but then again they didn't have the internet available to them in the 80's
