Sorry yes I should spend more time to make sure what I put down is correctly expressed. It always makes sense in my head haha. My wife has recently made friends with a women, the women's partner is the landlord. Does this make better sense.
Spoken like a true gentleman James :)

It happens mate. At the end of last year within 2 days I had an oven tripping one CU and a shower another for 2 different clients after changing them. Was lucky enough to find out while checking after upgrade but it doesn't change much because you still gotta tell them their 15 year old shower and 30 year old oven are just not quite up to scratch for the new RCD. I was lucky they were both decent people. I wouldn't stress about it to be honest mate. He's got himself a rather good deal to be fair! If he's gonna be like that, you're probably better off not having him as a camping buddy! I haven't done so myself but am I not right in saying as long as a cooker doesn't have a socket outlet it doesn't have to be on an RCD anyway as it is a fixed appliance?

It does have a socket outlet.

no.

I know Essex has a reputation, you just jealous. When I was in the army, I brought some northerners back here, mate, they couldn't hack the heat. I will say they didn't knock it's reputation after leaving, all scoring.

Can't be bothered to read the whole thread so this may have already been pointed out. Going from your OP, it sounds very much like an element or elements is/are breaking down, it all may test out pretty much fine when cold, but as the element(s) is/are getting hotter, the IR is is reducing to a point where the RCD will see the resulting leakage and operate....

Would that be one "women" or two "women" ??
