New circuit to the shed.

[AndyC.]

Hi all,
It is my first post. I'm sorry if I do something stupid

I need some help with running new circuit to the shed on the back garden.
Basically I have been asked to fit a double socket and light in the shed.
The only one way to run power from main building to shed is to take a power from the kitchen ring.
I was thinking to fit IP44 outside socket drill through the wall and connect it to the kitchen ring. From outside socket I would run SWA 4 sq. mm armoured cable (approx. 6 meters.)
My question is, as there is an old CU and landlord does not want to replace it with current standard, what would be the best way to confirm with reg. I thought to fit RCBBO in the CU for the kitchen ring.
Does it sound right?

Another question I have, is there any alternative way to run the cable from building to the shed? for example T&E in trunking clipped on fence?

If you need more info, please just let me know.

Very true Mykey. I sometimes wonder if it's not all been a big plot, surely no Government is useless enough not to train enough doctors and nurses for our future requirements? It's like setting off to a job and leaving all your gear at home. I reckon they just think they can import them and save a few quid to pay out to shareholders.

I've been doing my current job as a Detective for nearly 30 years. At the moment there is a massive shortage of detectives which is being made worse by the unrealistic workloads that are being placed on officers at the moment. They cannot recruit for love for money at the moment.
Starting salaries for new officers have been reduced and at the same time potential new recruits now have to pay for a diploma in policing studies and more recently get a degree before applying! The youngsters that are joining now are finding that there are no experienced officers out there to teach them, and few of those that do teach have been there and done it (sound familiar?). At the moment people are leaving faster than they can recruit. Still, we'll have a few more years of austerity and eventually that big old wheel will turn full circle when those who know how are all gone. I also heard that the Royal Navy are up the creek without a paddle cos there are no experienced engineers to operate the new carriers.

I realise mykey my post only mentioned the allied trades, but by no means did I mean to leave out the other hands on types.

Fat cats take note, we aren't going to lie down and become another decimal point in your annual returns.

So typically true. My mates lad wanted to be a copper all his school years. Big, strapping lad he is, and clever as well. Even joined the cadets I believe. When it came to it, he had to jump through hoops to do all sorts of crazy tests, interview after interview, and so on. In the end he got turned down, but the powers that be apparently gave a job to an Asian lass to "reflect the operational diversity" of the force. Five foot one she is bless her, she couldn't tackle a Sunday lunch never mind a villain.........And what the Hell is all this carp about needing a degree to join up? What a load of rubbish the world has definitely, without any doubt, gone mad. I tell you, we are doomed.....

Not many people can gain experience under someone's wing. Just look at the number of people asking for experience.

Its a very tough chicken and egg situation because for a lot of us its our reputation at stake - and would you help somebody on your patch who wants to be your competitor?

Just goes to show how complicated a shed installation can be.

Bet the men in their sheds could do a better job than those in parliament.

You probably need a degree in computer maintenance to be police officer. All the IT systems are out of date and keep crashing. Lots of work for sparks though, who seem to be permanently on site running cables for this that and the other. I spend more time trying to detect people and departments within my own organisation that I do criminals.

They would just sell the shed to some bloke in Russia or China and then let it fall into disrepair so the land could be used as an investment opportunity.

but at least the recent posts have shed some light on what is wrong with this country.

Who cares now, there's no more hair on my head left to shed!
