Everyone likes different shapes. I love the curvy Marilyn Monroe figure. Some like the skinny (looks like a 9 year old boy) look on girls..

IMO that's why all these models are thin cause the high up people in the industry like that look.......

I have a list of these now..not that it helps me much. Come on NICEIC! And, you guessed it.. Checkatrade. This one was incorporated in 2012, so five years trading to learn to get it right.

The householder said "The electrician was confused about the earthing rod".

Property "earthed" through bonding and neighbour's PME. (I actually get 0.15 which isn't bad disregarding that minor detail). Confusion was clear because the field had been "Tippexed" a couple of times.

Ra to the rod is 650 Ohms.

DNO visiting to provide (hopefully) a MET soon.

Not sure what you are asking 1Justin

What's check a conman got to do with this?

Sorry, genuinely hoping not to offend. (So I apologise in advance to the more proficient members of said organization). It just seems an odd coincidence that each time I take a note of something fairly serious where work was recently done (Not small stuff or compromises), they have all been Checkatrade without exception.
- Am I digging myself a hole here? Perhaps I should delete my post..

Nine times out of ten on TT the earthing conductor to the rod does no more than earth the rod.

not on my shift, Mr. Cynic. I aim for <50 ohms, even if i have to bury a scaffold pole. .

Yeah, you tell him @telectrix !
I normally belt in 2.4 m of 14mm and round here thats <20 Ohms . Even better if I hit the water supply ...

No No mate I was just wondering what your post was trying to put over, not a fan of check a trade either.

A fit of irritation, just getting it off my chest. It was a CU install as well.
Not only that, the Smart Meter installers then came along and offered the householder an earth connection more or less as an "optional extra". Householder thought it was earthed (well there was a new CU and certificate after all), - and declined.

You might find it strange, but in some of these cases, it's not the meter fitter, it's the guidelines they have to follow, poor training I would suggest, I went on an induction for a meter fitters job, believe me, some of the Carp, quite relieved I didn't get the job really, I would have got in to all sorts of hot water my my loquacious attitude.
