strung together this:

Back to the cooker circuit protection business, it appears that some
cooker outlet plates have a 13 amp outlet on them which isn't or won't
normally be protected into which you could plug a duff appliance etc
with attendant shock risk?.....


According to the regulations you don't need RCD protection for the
socket, only RCD protection if someone is likely to plug something
into it that is used outdoors.
So if it has a socket, it doesn't neccesarily need an RCD behind it.


Some of us do installations which are better than the
minimum standards required by the regulations.


Well thanks be for that!.....
