It's not about safety. The electrician's union owns
more
government
lawmakers
than the mechanic's union.

Which electrician and which mechanic are you referring
to?

Did you read his post at all? He referred to a union,
not an
individual.

Did you not see where the apostrophes were at all? They
referred
to an
individual's union in each case.

You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the
apostrophes in
the right place.

He's obviously not.

Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the
union for all electricians.

Only the illiterate would do that...the same sort of people
who think
plural's take apostrophe's.

Go take your OCD medication, we're not interested.

Go take your illiteracy elsewhere, we're not interested.

Not my fault if you can't understand what everyone else can.

Not my fault if I **** on illiterates.

FACT: 99% of people do not put apostrophes at the end.

Where did you pull this 'fact' from? Out of your rear end, just
like
all your other 'facts'?

Only a computer program requires precision placing of apostrophes.
The rest of us knew perfectly well what was meant. Grow up.

Getting ahead in the modern world requires literacy.

Bull**** it does with that OCD ****.

Correct grammar is not OCD, you stupid ****ing convict.

Corse it is

Of course it's not, you stupid ****ing illiterate convict.

Calling someone a convict who was most likely born over there is pretty
stupid don't you think?

Far from it. If he wasn't transported there himself, he's descended
from someone who was and has inherited criminal tendencies. Same
****ing difference.


Why would you inherit criminal tendencies?


For the same reason you inherit other characteristics from your parents.
It's called bad blood in the trade.


No no no, god gives you your characteristics doesn't he? That's what you morons believe.

I thought you thought of yourself as brighter than the rest?

I obviously am.


No, you show yourself up as an idiot every time you post. Aren't you
the one who was going on about god earlier?


We already know you're a complete moron, and to make it worse, you don't
believe in God.


That's because I have the brains to know he isn't there.

What tight credit squeeze? I'm constantly getting junk mail from credit card companies.

No, unsecured loans can **** off.

No, my phone is for texts and calls. I wouldn't dream of trying to use

So do you spend all day glued to your smartphone texting people?


No, I use it to send a quick message, like "running late, be there at 11."

Any unnecessary rules are OCD.

There are no unnecessary rules in grammar.* It is what it is.

without understanding.

What's there to understand?* The grammar is there, you learn it, end of

No, you use the rules that make sense.* Intelligent people know which
rules are sensible.* "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the
guidance of wise men".

People with a brain can choose which rules to bother following.


People with a brain don't need to choose which rules to follow. They
have better things to occupy their minds with. You obviously don't.

Do you think grammar rules are like motoring rules?

Yes, they're both pointless.


For morons like you who think that only the laws of physics have to be
obeyed.


I know only the laws of physics have to be obeyed.* Do you stop at a red
light when you can see there's nothing coming?


Of course. It's the law. Don't you?

You're not supposed to be multitasking while driving.

It's not about safety. The electrician's union owns
more
government

than the mechanic's union.

Which electrician and which mechanic are you referring
to?

Did you read his post at all? He referred to a union,
not an
individual.

Did you not see where the apostrophes were at all? They
referred
to an
individual's union in each case.

You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the
apostrophes in
the right place.

He's obviously not.

Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the
union for all electricians.

Only the illiterate would do that...the same sort of people
who think
plural's take apostrophe's.

Go take your OCD medication, we're not interested.

Go take your illiteracy elsewhere, we're not interested.

Not my fault if you can't understand what everyone else can.

Not my fault if I **** on illiterates.

FACT: 99% of people do not put apostrophes at the end.

Where did you pull this 'fact' from? Out of your rear end,
just
like
all your other 'facts'?

Only a computer program requires precision placing of
apostrophes.
The rest of us knew perfectly well what was meant. Grow up.

Getting ahead in the modern world requires literacy.

Bull**** it does with that OCD ****.

Correct grammar is not OCD, you stupid ****ing convict.

Corse it is

Of course it's not, you stupid ****ing illiterate convict.

Calling someone a convict who was most likely born over there is
pretty
stupid don't you think?

Far from it. If he wasn't transported there himself, he's descended
from someone who was


Nope, no convicts what so ever.

and has inherited criminal tendencies. Same ****ing difference.


Why would you inherit criminal tendencies?


That's how genes work.


For some things, like the size of your nose.


And how your brain works.

But being a criminal is probably more your upbringing.


That's certainly part of it, but its also in your genes, most
obviously with those who choose to ignore the law etc.

I thought you thought of yourself as brighter than the rest?

I obviously am.

No, you show yourself up as an idiot every time you post. Aren't you
the
one who was going on about god earlier?


Yep, and you can't get any more stupid than that.


Indeed. This is the 21st century, we should have got rid of that **** by
now.


Cant see it. Its essentially a crutch for their pathetically inadequate
'minds'

The just cant accept that no individual is any more significant
than pond slime, that there is no purpose to life and that we
will all die and cease to exist sometime.

And they ****ed up big time, hence all those banks going belly up.

Careless lending in the past has resulted in the tight credit squeeze

What tight credit squeeze? I'm constantly getting junk mail from credit
card companies.


Yes, but wait till you actually try to apply for a card.


Well they're trying to find customers. So no credit squeeze. Anyway, so what if there is, it would be better if nobody ever lent anyone anything.

Those who default on their loans suffer the consequences.

No, unsecured loans can **** off.

No more credit for them, then. Ever.


I doubt they want any more.


Of course they do. Everyone wants credit so that they can live outside
their means.


Once they get 70 grand they never have to pay back, they don't care.

So do you spend all day glued to your smartphone texting people?

No, I use it to send a quick message, like "running late, be there at

Probably while you're driving...drunk!


I did once text while driving with a broken arm. I can multitask you see.


You're not supposed to be multitasking while driving.


Driving is already multitasking.

And there you go again with your silly little rules. "Not supposed to be". Those with intelligence do what they believe is right, not what everyone else believes is right.

Why would you inherit criminal tendencies?

For the same reason you inherit other characteristics from your parents.
It's called bad blood in the trade.


No no no, god gives you your characteristics doesn't he? That's what
you morons believe.


Who told you that horse****? God has nothing to do with what
characteristics you inherit. Apart from original sin, of course.


Every moron like yourself that believes in god told me it. Or have you guys changed your tune to suit the situation like you usually do. You're just like those greenies. Global warming suddenly becomes climate change when they realise it might not be warmer but something else. Let's cover all the bases. If anything changes about the climate, we'll blame it on the CO2 emissions. It never would have changed by itself....

I thought you thought of yourself as brighter than the rest?

I obviously am.

No, you show yourself up as an idiot every time you post. Aren't you
the one who was going on about god earlier?

We already know you're a complete moron, and to make it worse, you don't
believe in God.


That's because I have the brains to know he isn't there.


You simply don't have the intelligence to think 'outside the box'.


You follow the rules, you think inside the box, I'm the one that thinks for himself, outside the box.

Not helped by it being wrong

You CAN add an extra socket as a spur yourself (subject to it being a
valid
place to add a spur)

It's adding socket as part of the ring that you can't do


Why would one be more dangerous than the other?


Its not dangerous to the individual, it's the fire risk.


Which could happen equally with either if done wrong.

In fact it's more likely you **** up a spur, like using 15A cable because
you only put one socket there.


That's wrong too.


15A cable protected by a 30A fuse is a fire risk.

The whole idea of the ring main is dangerous anyway.


Nope.

If one cable breaks, it continues working


Yes.

with inadequate protection at the fusebox.


Nope.


One 15A cable, one 30A fuse, whoops, no tripping. Much better to use 30A cable and not have a ring, just a straight line. Rings were invented to save copper after the war and are dangerous.

That one has obvious contradictions. Eg: Look at the entry referring
to
sockets in both lists. (Item 1 in first list, 3&4 in second list.)

I guess it's one of those rules that nobody understands. A (Scottish,
therefore not subject to part P) electrician told me you couldn't even
replace a lightswitch in England without a certificate.

That is not what the list you posted said in things you can do.

+1

The list is also somewhat contradictory and stupid in at leas some places.
Like:

DIY Not allowed:

Re-wire sockets or lights that are faulty and causing the fuse to trip


Allowed:

Replace a simple light fitting
Replace an existing socket or light switch like for like
Make repairs to loose wirings in switches, light fittings, or plugs
Replace light switches
Replace sockets

So if you have a light fixture with an obvious short, you can't
replace it yourself. And good luck enforcing that BS.

You're not allowed to install a "home entry system". What's that?
Security alarm?


I think they are saying that if you have a wiring fault you should
call a pro but you can throw a receptacle, switch or luminaire at it
to see if that fixes anything first.


I doubt many of us on the left side of the pond know much about
ring circuits but it might be confusing the first time you see one.


Not really, the main difference is the fusing. All pretty simple really.


The fusing isn't different at all. The difference is instead of a 30A cable, we use two 15A cables. Saves on copper after the war....

You can pull your own permit for anything from a total house rewire to
doing all of the plumbing and all of the HVAC, along with building the
whole house yourself.
In my area they aren't even very particular about getting a permit if
you can't see the work from the street.
You can count on the tax man showing up tho. He is airborne.


In Scotland I can do anything I like unless it impinges on a neighbour. I can build a garage, a conservatory, I can do anything electrical. Not gas, but who can see :-) An extension to the house apparently needs planning permission, but all that means is paying a small fee and having all the neighbours the opportunity to say "it would block my light". But if it's got enough windows, it's called a conservatory and is exempt :-)

The article quoted is full of nonsense anyway.

Excuse me while I laugh "theyre a legal requirement and are strictly
enforced.", yeah right.

Part P does not have a requirement to use a "fully qualified"
electrician. In cases were work is notifiable, work would need to either:

1) be done by someone who is a member of a competent person scheme;
(might be someone who has done a part P domestic installer course, and
does not know ohms law from his elbow).

2) be done under the auspices of building control;

3) be tested and signed off by someone who is a member of a third party
inspection scheme.

(the latter option being newer than the first two)

Of their list of "notifiable jobs". The following are not notifiable:

Re-wire sockets or lights that are faulty and causing the fuse to trip
Install outdoor or garden lights that run off mains electricity
Install additional sockets or a light switch as a spur from a ring main
Install communal hallway smoke alarms or emergency lighting
Install home entry systems
Install electric radiators (where there werent any before)

There are only a small number of notifiable jobs now:

Installing a new circuit
Replacement of a Consumer unit


So was I a naughty boy when I moved my consumer unit to another room? What about my gas pipe? It's my ****ing house, nobody's business.

who's to know if something is changed later?

Did you not see where the apostrophes were at all?
They
referred
to an

You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the

He's obviously not.

Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the
union for all electricians.

Only the illiterate would do that...the same sort of
people
who think
plural's take apostrophe's.

Go take your OCD medication, we're not interested.

Go take your illiteracy elsewhere, we're not interested.

Not my fault if you can't understand what everyone else can.

Not my fault if I **** on illiterates.

FACT: 99% of people do not put apostrophes at the end.

Where did you pull this 'fact' from? Out of your rear end,
just
like
all your other 'facts'?

Only a computer program requires precision placing of
apostrophes.
The rest of us knew perfectly well what was meant. Grow up.

Getting ahead in the modern world requires literacy.

Bull**** it does with that OCD ****.

Correct grammar is not OCD, you stupid ****ing convict.

Corse it is

Of course it's not, you stupid ****ing illiterate convict.

Calling someone a convict who was most likely born over there is
pretty
stupid don't you think?

Far from it. If he wasn't transported there himself, he's descended
from someone who was

Nope, no convicts what so ever.

and has inherited criminal tendencies. Same ****ing difference.

Why would you inherit criminal tendencies?

That's how genes work.

For some things, like the size of your nose.


And how your brain works.


Nope,


Yep.

I know a very clever woman who is the daughter of two dopey council estate
parents.


But intelligence is in fact considerably genetically determined, stupid.

But being a criminal is probably more your upbringing.


That's certainly part of it, but its also in your genes, most
obviously with those who choose to ignore the law etc.


Bull****.


Fact.

Neither of my parents ever break the law.


Your problem is that you were dropped on your head when
they ****ed themselves laughing at your micro dick.

I thought you thought of yourself as brighter than the rest?

I obviously am.

No, you show yourself up as an idiot every time you post. Aren't you
the
one who was going on about god earlier?

Yep, and you can't get any more stupid than that.

Indeed. This is the 21st century, we should have got rid of that ****
by
now.


Cant see it. Its essentially a crutch for their pathetically inadequate
'minds'

The just cant accept that no individual is any more significant
than pond slime, that there is no purpose to life and that we
will all die and cease to exist sometime.


We should have got rid of the stupid folk by now,


Not even possible, there will always be some that are more stupid
than others and given that the absolute vast majority of individuals
did believe in some god or other at one time, we clearly are still
improving the gene pool.

but we keep on protecting them....


We always do with kids particularly, stupid.

Not helped by it being wrong

You CAN add an extra socket as a spur yourself (subject to it being a
valid
place to add a spur)

It's adding socket as part of the ring that you can't do

Why would one be more dangerous than the other?


Its not dangerous to the individual, it's the fire risk.


Which could happen equally with either if done wrong.


Wrong. A ring main socket has something like half the ring
current going thru it when any of the sockets are delivering
power to anything plugged into them. The spur only has
that when what is plugged into its socket is taking power.

In fact it's more likely you **** up a spur, like using 15A cable
because
you only put one socket there.


That's wrong too.


15A cable protected by a 30A fuse is a fire risk.


The fuse is actually protecting against a much higher
current than the cable rating. The plug fuse will have
blown before the CU fuse unless someone does
something stupid and drives a nail thru the cable etc.

The whole idea of the ring main is dangerous anyway.


Nope.

If one cable breaks, it continues working


Yes.

with inadequate protection at the fusebox.


Nope.


One 15A cable, one 30A fuse, whoops, no tripping.


There is when someone puts a nail thru the cable.

A 15A cable will take 30A fine with no risk of fire forever.

Much better to use 30A cable and not have a ring, just a straight line.


That's wrong too. With no ring, there are a lot more
cables and so more risk of putting a nail thru one.

Rings were invented to save copper after the war


Yep.

and are dangerous.


Wrong.

While I'm no fan of Part P and I'm not defending it, perhaps you'd

That one has obvious contradictions. Eg: Look at the entry

I guess it's one of those rules that nobody understands. A
(Scottish,
therefore not subject to part P) electrician told me you couldn't

That is not what the list you posted said in things you can do.

The list is also somewhat contradictory and stupid in at leas some
places.
Like:

DIY Not allowed:

Re-wire sockets or lights that are faulty and causing the fuse to trip


Allowed:

Replace a simple light fitting
Replace an existing socket or light switch like for like
Make repairs to loose wirings in switches, light fittings, or plugs
Replace light switches
Replace sockets

So if you have a light fixture with an obvious short, you can't
replace it yourself. And good luck enforcing that BS.

You're not allowed to install a "home entry system". What's that?
Security alarm?

I think they are saying that if you have a wiring fault you should
call a pro but you can throw a receptacle, switch or luminaire at it
to see if that fixes anything first.


I doubt many of us on the left side of the pond know much about
ring circuits but it might be confusing the first time you see one.


Not really, the main difference is the fusing. All pretty simple really.


The fusing isn't different at all.


Corse it is. Much higher fuse ratings with a ring.

The difference is instead of a 30A cable, we use two 15A cables.


Wrong again. And a lot less cabling is required.

Saves on copper after the war....


Yes. But that isnt the only advantage of a ring.
