Yea, used the cpc as a switched line just on the switch drop! Used red sleeving at both ends, cpc wasn't exposed like it shows in the pic I ripped it open a bit, as at first it looked like 4 core cable!

Found this lovely 16mm t+e under customers crap in a loft. Live, off as 80 amp bs 88. What you can't see in the pic is the tape doesn't even cover the end of the copper!!

I got called to a house to rectify a cooker circuit that had tripped and stopped working. Traced the fault all the way back to inside to cooker only to find an electrocuted mouse between live and earth.........nice!

So are all the final circuits wired with blue for line and brown for neutral? Which way round were the accessories connected?

 

[pennywise]

Everything is wired back to front at every point lighting and power, so nothing has been tripping, also if you look closely at the lighting they're on a 32amp breaker lol

Needed to disconnect garage supply for building works prior to the gas man coming to re-route the gas pipe... return to find gas pipe re-routed and the old pipe disconnected both ends but a bit still hanging out the wall. Bonding still connected to the old pipe!
I wonder how long it would have remained that way had I not been returning to re-instate the garage supply?

32 amp lighting... Nice... (Sarcastic).Love the blue phases and brown neutrals. However did this needs to be banned from electrics.I knew that live was brown (red) and neutral was blue (black) even before I started to really become interested in electrics.

couldn,t the blues just be sleeved in brown? and the browns in blooo?-- bloooobydy doo
the ceiling roses could be topsy tervy
sockets back the front
