Incorrect Wiring - What danger

Feb 03, 2005 202 Replies

Well, I don't speak for anyone else, but most of the above people have been here a while (well, longer than you, at least with your current nick) and this particular "troll" has become something of a tradition here... I don't know whether that's a good thing, but I have no problem with some light diversion.

You're very welcome here (speaking for myself for what it's worth) but you'll have to take uk.d-i-y as it comes.

Dunno about others, but I've learnt a lot from the 'discussions' between IMM and Andy. And from many other thread drifts. As long as you assume IMM is just acting as an ad man, and apply the correct fiddle factor.

If it stayed to being a purely question answer forum, it'd not be the group that it is.

Problem with a fuse is that it will allow pretty gross overloading if this is applied gradually. An MCB is more accurate.

Absolutely. And whoever did this should be hung, drawn and quartered.

He has. Plowman, and the return of Roger have been irritating people for many years.

The problems with the likes of Plowman, the regulars know is hasn't a clue, but it is the newbie's that may take him seriously. That is dangerous.

That is the case. And it is clear Plowman, Roger and Jerry were never chastised as children. The result is for all to see.

We have obviously taught you plenty over the years... why not so long ago you were asking how to wire a light switch, and now you seem to think yourself qualified to offer advice on domestic electrical work. You should thank Dave for getting you started on this road of discovery by answering your light switch question.

So congratulations, you have obviously been learning even if you claim not.

A closed mind is perhaps your biggest stumbling block, learn to beat that and you could go far.

Still as things currently stand, I am kind of surprised you bother posting here at all, since we don't trust a word you write, and you claim to learn nothing, it must all feel rather pointless. With no flow of information, all you are doing is clogging up the newsgroup.

On Sat, 05 Feb 2005 10:43:01 +0000, Geoff Lane strung together this:

Lighting wiring can be any size conductors, not just 1.5mm. In general, 1.0mm is used for lighting when used with 5\6A overcurrent protection in the average domestic installation.

Clearly you were beaten about the head so much it damaged your brain. Was it for not paying attention in English classes?

The message from ":::Jerry::::" contains these words:

If the only people who have 2 combis installed in a normal sized house are friends that DrivEl has advised the number must be vanishingly small as he can't have many (any?) friends.

But I doubt any of what he has learnt has come from your computer...

And then you left the boiler for ten years until it was sooted up! My oh my!

We'll take it that you deleted what you were going to say then.

IMM, I've told you before, stop talking about yourself...

Oh I don't know, some of the discussion that flow from IMM showing up his utter ignorance can (I suspect) be very informative to people who don't have the closed mind that he possesses.

Not true. I am brilliant on domestic electrical work.

I don't thank trolls who nothing of gas or electricity, and are positively dangerous.

I don't post here for the benefit of the resident loonies.

Yep, and so is 2.5mm for rings. And 6mm for cookers and so on. But if the regs were changed to remove the gross margins on these cables, real world errors would cause fires instead of nothing happening, so we stay with what is really very overrated cable. Even 0.5mm can carry 13A quite happily.... as long as you dont thermally insulate it, bunch it, etc.

That isnt advice you moron.

how else do you expect things to be taken? Should we take your babblings as metaphors?
