As a forum and regular well established members we are happy to help anyone climbing the ladder of learning but the trend of lately is to see members asking questions without even bothering looking up or researching the answer prior. Now don't get me wrong here but if you can't just review your notes click the tinteret or sit back or consider the level of your query first then please move your question to the DIY section where it belongs.....


Im sick of seeing so called qualified 'competent' electricians asking levels of questions that would make me cringe in the DIY section.... E.G.

-RCD's don't provide overload protection if you think they do go flip burgers!

-Plastic or metal capping is not mechanical protection!

-100amp standard DP main switches also don't provide overload protection

-plugging in a £10 socket tester is not confirmation everything is up to standards....

Seriously the level of questions from so called 'Electricans' is getting so worrying that your making the plumbers look educated and brainy!

Should be made a sticky on all sections of the forum

Don't forget adding to an existing circuit as well

And the bathroom fan and outside light and supply to the shed wired from the shower ..............

This thread from yesterday is a prime example of pure laziness http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk...ical-forum/88172-moeller-mcb-alternative.html

I gave him 2 options to find one locally, yet he got arsey with me because i told him to do some simple things himself.
