PA Testing is so boring the only failure I've had is this plug top that was poorly wired and flex not secured.

Should have done a video to go with it, YouTube it and make millions of £££s.
 
It is indeed boring...and why are the stickers so expensive? They ought to be cheaper now you don't need a "Next test date" section.
 
so have I. makes PAT quicker.
 
terrible. the flex should have been twisted so that the N (blue) was on the left instead of on top of the L (brown).:eek::eek::eek:
What do they expect for £1.20 per item, the moon on a stick?

Oh dear, you've said PAT - Pete999 won't be happy :):)
At least it was only "PA Testing" and not "PAT Testing" that would've sent him to an early(ish) grave.
 
? It's supposed to have a top, wondered why i kept getting a jolt every time i plugged it in.

That's ok I put them in the plug bottom, or is it plug top bottom.

Snigger.....plug bottom....snigger

I was once on a small domestic site where
A builder supplied the decorators with a 240v real lead of which the plug top had no top.
The painter plugged it straight in getting a wicked shock , then his mate tried to unplug it while it was still live getting himself a wicked bolt...

I kid you not , this is absolutely true

Soon as I saw what had happened I cut the plug top straight off
 
This was a builders extension, I cut the plug off also then watched from afar.

You'd have been better off cutting their hands off, for their own good.

Ok -Oversized cable , bound and crushed.

Not a bad effort, is this going to turn i to an "I can wire a plug me" thread?

Look I know I'm a short course shyster but I worked that one out already.
