    Snakes and ladders.

    Reminds me of trying to get out of a loft in a new build. Plastic hatch was screwed to bits of wood that weren't attached to anything else, stood on wood frame which fell though, caught bottom chord as I fell through the hole, legs swung kicking the stepladder I'd used to get in down the stairs...

    Honeywell Remote Servicing Suite

    Panic over, thankfully I've found the file on another computer. Now double backed up so I don't lose it again.

    CCTV what coaxial cable needed for Hikvision DS2CE72KF3T-E

    I would expect a good quality rg6 to be more than adequate. Ran one once over 500M with CT125 cable.

    Red, blue and black cable

    Red Blue and Black are old DC supply colours. What is the cable used for? As above any colour could be used for any purpose.

    Can plastic trunking be used in a commercial kitchen

    It's awesome stuff, I install it somewhat frequently for hygiene areas. Always looks great and is easily cleaned. The polished trunking looks really cool. Got some 50mm SS conduit to install next week, the price of the larger conduits is eye watering though! An electric bender and threader helps...

    Unusual singles from Batt Cables

    I played with that stuff once, didn't really like it. Rather do it properly. That and got to justify buying an electric threader. Useful for joining into an old conduit in a tight location where you cant thread it though.

    Unusual singles from Batt Cables

    Having seen the attempts by some fire alarm companies at installing steel conduit that's probably a good thing. I saw one company recently fitting conduit to boxes and couplers by grinding the outside of the tube thin and hammering it in instead of threading it...

    New T&E cable...

    They can bring it in as a new reg only if they change the core colours back to the old ones.

    Lots of earth leakage from ovens

    In the shop we used to heat the elements with a blowtorch starting in the centre and slowly working towards the terminals to drive out moisture in elements that had been in the stores for years and failed insulation test after initial normal heating.

    Electricity & Water Nice

    I took a load of 28W 2D bulkhead lights down recently that were full to the brim with water from a burst pipe. The fittings were running happily under water, though the water was very hot from being heated electrode boiler style.

    How would you deal with this?

    I used to do appliances as my first job, every built in dishwasher I ever installed always came with stainless fixing screws in the installation pack. The cheap one I fitted a few months ago also came with stainless fixing screws.
