Stroppy;758328 night-night Hula Hoops
I hope Richard doesn't mind me answering, but presumably the page he showed an image of, ie Section 5.7 "Outdoor lighting and power, sheds and garages", specifically 5.7.2 "Fixed cables".

Yes, I'm a greedy little so-and-so and can't resist crisps when I know they are in the cupboard, and end up stuffing my face on them. Mummy would go mental if she knew. Anyway they were only a one-off tonight - I usually have a night-night gin and bitter lemon (50/50). Hmm, may as well have one of those as well.

Everyone laughs! I cant even buy stamps anymore, have to get some one to do it for me! First time i bought stamps it took me two agonizing minutes to actually say stamps! was the last time i tried too. I wouldnt swear to a wholesaler
@Kate, you're good fun .... keep away from the Hula hoops and try Horlicks .....

Not Asda, we don't have that here in Guernsey. The H-H multi-packs were two-for-one in the Co-op, so I felt duty-bound to buy some.

When ever me and Mrs Trev go away for a gig, because no one knows us there I always ask if I can fake tourettes just to see how far I can go before someone objects. She;s never allowed me to thus far

Hahah, what a misery, she should join in and both have a laugh. I have to admit sometimes when I'm away I put on silly foreign accents, like Swedish or German.

No way! I have been roped into playing word shouts! take it in turns to say an obscure word louder that the last person!
Now there's an offer you can't refuse!

I do accents all the time, that's easy. Telling a waiter to fur cough and keep a straight face...another matter entirely mate

In my old job as computer engineer I sometimes used to tell people I had Vegetable Tourettes, and would ocassionally ask out of the blue, "would anyone like a SPROUTS! cup of tea?" Some of the newbies didn't know what to do!

Only in your world maybe!! As stated, commonsense comes into play here. The areas that your table indicate are for public utility areas, where one would hope that permanent drawing records are held of all such cable routes and runs. Where any excavation work being undertaken, will require contractors being officially made aware of the presence of such buried cables. This is not the case in the majority of cases, especially in private installations and home owners back/front gardens etc!!

i don't do homes, I do commercial work and have provided the information I use. I also stated in earlier post that I believed that a depth of 250mm is suitable for domestic and asked for assistance in this statement (none was received). I only offered my suggestion as there was a few methods of installation that I felt we're non compliant (in my opinion) getting suggested.
Your post in particular appears to knock the content of previous posts without offering any useful content or suggestions.
what exactly is your common sense approach for laying a cable in a dwelling?

I think i made myself perfectly clear what the commonsense approach would be for a dwellings garden!! It's certainly not 250mm.... A minimum of 2 X a garden spade or fork length, or 600mm!!
It's also important to point out, that whatever the trench depth is, it should be free of any sharp stones and other debris. And should have a good layer of compacted bedding sand to lay the cable onto, along with a decent covering of sand before a relatively stone free soil back fill. It's highly unlikely that protection tiles are going to be utilised in a garden install, but a warning tape should always be provided at around 150mm below ground. Personally i always carry out a sheath test on all direct buried SWA cables before terminations are made...
I do however agree with you on some of the other methods being suggested here!! ...lol!!
