poor workmanship

your not supposed to use black as N anymore so that diy'ers dont connect phase to N


unless its re-using old wiring

Says who? Where does this 'supposed to' come from?
You can use whatever colour you like as long as it is correctly marked by either colour or alphanumeric marking at each termination.

There is however a strong convention to use the same cores of a three core as were used prior to the change and it is best practice to follow this convention.

Not always, but if incorrect comments are made I will say something about it.

I'll show respect to those people who have earned or deserve it, and people like you I will continue to show contempt for.

He's got one but it needs a new battery and since spending his last shekels on a new camera last week he can't afford it.

Being a 3K member is merely a measure of post quantity, not the quality or indeed the knowledge or experience of the member.

I'll get gunned down for this! but the niceic don't like you using the black as neutral they want you to use grey as neutral to get away from the old colours. I've always used grey sleeved blue as neutral as I think this is best practice this way. And unfortunately being a niceic approved contractor I've got to follow the rules of this scam lol.

No , buts its usually a good indicator that theyve at least put some time and effort into the forum regardless of their experience.

Know everything? Nope not me, but unlike some I try to limit my advice to topics that I am confident in my knowledge of.
Perhaps if more people would realise the limits of their own knowledge and stop posting their wild guesses and half baked ideas this forum would be a bit better.


I have just heard that I am required to work tomorrow, so my mood is improving now that I have a means to escape the sheer hell that is Christmas.

To be honest, reading his posts over the last few months, I'd say that davesparks does seem to be one of the most knowledgeable "real world" working sparks on here, with a very expansive knowledge base.

I'm not, there are far more knowledgeable people on here. But i do know my limits and try to stay within them when posting.

Not taking a shot at you....but I've been in the NIC for a bloody long time and things have changed. As far as I'm concerned, I follow my own RULES and interpret 7671 from knowlege aquired and official data available. With any scheme providing company the only true RULES to be followed are compliance with 7671, where possible and payment of yearly fees.....

He is very knowlegeable without any doubt at all, a good guy and a very good electrician, it would be nice to see a bit of a personality come out of him as well though, Merry Christmas Dave :biggrin:
