I have several books based around the 15th edition. It certainly seems like a practical and well thought out edition, far from the madness of the 18th!

- C&G 17th edition regs
C&G 2382-18 (18th edition regs)
C&G 2394 Inspection & Test
C&G PAT
2 x BPEC electrical courses/exams
Well it introduced the rfc testing we know and love today, sort of replaced the course and close protection with the concepts we use now, and introduced the whole adiabatic thing.
Of course in the main it brought uk regs in line with the rest of the world!
Hence the resistance for change when it was introduced!
Seen in Dobbies cafe recently:
They could have extended/replaced the PVC conduit to the beam supporting the light.
They could have clipped it to the roofing (admittedly probably a water leak risk)
But instead they looped the cable, cable tied it and used it to support the ceiling rose, not the other way round!

Yes, I know. Most normal people notice the 2-for-1 deal on cream scones...

Dobbies is far too expensive for me, even the price of something simple like a small hosepipe fitting is ridiculous.
Last time I went for such a fitting it cost two breakfasts, a 3 for the price of two cake deals, luxury biscuits, a wide assortment of condiments we never actually ended up using, some exotic wines and beers (which we did!).......
Not to mention the time spent in the overpriced clothing section...

All garden centres are the same. Overpriced tat and things nobody want or needs from JML.
Only recently when we had the Eat Out to Help Out off in the restaurant, coupled with a free hot drink on a loyalty card thing, that we got two meals and two coffees for less than the price of my fish and chips on its own.
I really try to avoid them normally. The family either comes home with a little cactus or a new guinea pig

I was there as a friend of mine had their loyalty card which gives you two "free" cups of coffee each month, for £10/year. So that is a good deal.
But the cakes...
But the cakes...
I went to my local Dobbies last week, with the intention of buying a Dalduff Farm steak pie and some seafood from the Loch Fyne supplier...I could almost taste it!

My prediction for the UK in 50 years time... All land covered with housing, interspersed with supermarkets, nail bars/hair dressers, Amazon warehouses and 'designated' recreation parks with 10 mins per day allowance.
The Livingston one is still there, but the Loch fyne place has been replaced by an ice cream thing I think.
It turns out each of these places - such as a butchers, bakers........... and seafood - all rent the retail part they use (at high rates I would assume) from Dobbies.
zerax,. i hear you...I won't be here in 50 years, but things are heading the way you say...
Julie, I can get to Livingston ok, but it's a long way for a steak pie...fortunately there's another excellent butcher in helensburgh...my local guy makes a good pie but it's just not the same.
I'd rather have some bradan rost than a pistachio ice-cream...but we are being fed, literally, a diet of cheap food,and it's not helping on the obesity front (says he who loves steak pie!)

It's not worth a journey initself, but if you happen to be passing on the M8 ...
I'm lucky in that there is an excellent butcher within a minute's walk that does great steak pies. I try not to visit too often to resist the temptation. Is that pious behaviour?
