I was that nerd too ... Oozing desperation ...Well nearly ok, women seem to give me a wide berth for some reason.
Strange to watch reactions change when you are wearing a wedding ring !

wouldn't have been too bad except she'd got a face that would stop a clock.Good job then Tel?
"have only once come across an old 6.0mm cooker cable in a kitchen that was redundant and used as a kitchen ring in the UK, a ring main (2 x 2.5mm cables) had been attached to it (and no, I didn't do it, it was existing)"Around 25 years ago I went to Spain with my girlfriend and stayed in an apartment, as she was unpacking the suitcase I decided to take the consumer unit face plate off and have a look. I was surprised to find what looked like 6.0mm cooker cable forming a ring, when I removed the faceplate from a socket behind the bed it was one cable which looked like 2.5mm. An access panel to the side of the bed revealed the 6.0mm cable with a spur off to the socket. I never got any further than this as my girlfriend was by then throwing a complete tantrum that we was supposed to be on holiday and this would probably explain why I am still single to this very day.
So I was wondering why in the UK we run ring mains? I mean even if we run a ring (2x2.5mm) and then spurred off to each socket this would save a considerable amount of cable and running 2 cables in the wall, though this might not be viable in kitchens. Again I'm just wondering why and have only once come across an old 6.0mm cooker cable in a kitchen that was redundant and used as a kitchen ring in the UK, a ring main (2 x 2.5mm cables) had been attached to it (and no, I didn't do it, it was existing)
Thanks in advance!
Does make me think of a certain cowboy situation.the lolipop circuit a.k.a the lassoo circuit.

So long as people test the RFC part ,and have access to the Tee point or whatever we want to call it.. A lassoo can be a decent circuit. It`s just not a "standard" one
