Just browsing through Screwfix catalogue in preparation for some electrical work and came across these:

I will be careful not to drop too many of those. Adam's going to have to ration them out with his apprentices.

Yes noticed all the "protection against premature collapse" additions to
18th Ed. seem to be extortionate while the manufacturers can get away
with it ...

Fortunately there are not that many jobs we do that will require their use.

Would it not be permissible to use a galvanised iron staple such as
https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-galvanised-staples-galvanised-corrosion-resistant-4-x-40mm-1kg-pack/16688
to hold 1, and perhaps 1.5mm cable? Of course, the cable would be fixed
edge on, but would that matter?

That would be fine IMHO but no doubt the NICEIC will say it is not an
approved item.

All round band is still the same price:-)

I got some rather good clips the other day. Drill a 6mm home into
masonry and just shove the clips in. Fit wires into clips.

I'll dig out the details later if you are interested.
