just to paint the picture a bit, i work at a company with about 20 lads, there is one that there who was the bosses apprentise been there over ten years thinks he's top dog you know the type, anyway he has made it clear he does not like me but the feeling is mutual.
anyway there has been twice this week were he has has a go at me i think wongly, the first instance walked into a lounge there was one pendant in the room, the guy wanted 4 downlights fitting and the pendant getting rid of, so the guy i work with il call him ----er, ----er said right fit these 4 lights etc etc, so i got a 4way jb put all the cables out of the pendant in the jb took a flex from the jb to the first dl then to the next etc jobs a good un.
so he starts having a go saying cant belive you have done it that way blar blar storms off without saying which way i should have done it, i can maybe see his point for access to the jb but am i right or wrong?
2nd instance, fitting a switch on a wall with a surface box using the loop in out wiring way in the switch, crimped the nutrals then put the earths in a ring crimp then used one of the screws which holds the patress on to earth it, ----er comes in blar blar why have you done that then walks off, now i can see that if a phase conductor comes out of the switch it may touch the earth and create a dead short but i was taught that this is acceptable.....right or wrong?
rant over lol
