Decent demoI'm curious now. Slate slate or tiles slate?
Slates are fixed in 4 places.

We have spacious boards, although not historically common in domestic installations as we don't generally require so much room for protective devices.More room in the CU to work,
Very common here and usually require half as much real estate in domestic boards.double pole breakers
Of no relevance to the subject. Sheath only needs to enter the board and it is generally the case that only individual conductors are brought forward.no dreadful flat profile cable
No reason that wouldn't be the case in the UK. The difference being we have more choice where circuit design is concerned.more appliances on separate circuits giving better selectivity
DNO equipment is of no relevance when comparing the niceties of French CUs.main switch provided on incoming head as standard
We can have those too. Again a matter of us having more choices available in circuit design.pre-sleeved earth wires
Not sure how that's a benefit, unless cable type and size is limited. Seems like a nightmare for wholesalers, unless this convenience is limited to specific circumstances. Imagine how much more storage would be required if all cable arrived in its own containment. Is only one type of conduit available or does all of the above have to be stocked in multiple conduit sizes?pre-wired conduit
better selection of fittings (especially for lights),
Perhaps you haven't seen the choices available in the UK?better light switch rocker size
no ring final's
better looking plugs
variable supply (bringing it down brings standing charge down)
Seems reasonable, but how do you determine type of colour indicates size.colour coded cable so you can see on sight what size it is....
Just obviously better than the horror show here in the UK.
Can you do plumbing again? It's been a while.Wait until you see how they slate roofs. Although i'm sure someone will try to say pinning with nails like we do is best.
Very cool. Do they have to pin the verge slates, or will the clips hold them in place too?Decent demo

It won't last like Welsh slate boyoVery cool. Do they have to pin the verge slates, or will the clips hold them in place too?

Dunno if you can choose to but i've seen it done without.Very cool. Do they have to pin the verge slates, or will the clips hold them in place too?

This is done in the USA, their Romex cable which is the equivalent of our T&E has different coloured sheaths to denote the common sizes used. I believe there is white, red, yellow and black.
As an apprentice you probably don't know that you're not always up close with cable, enough to determine size.Experience tells most people what size of cable they're dealing with. Perhaps your opinion may change as experience is gained.
Are you now disputing your own point?As an apprentice you probably don't know that you're not always up close with cable, enough to determine size.
The actual electricians on here probably know that.
