and i thought i was a philistine.. for comparison purposes of scale, you use a calibrated ruler, micrometer, or vernier. no wonder the trade's gone to hell in a cart, using foreign coins as yardsticks.

"I had no idea where I was going to, by the way".
Sorted! "Honestly" works well too...
Now I am going to take my wine outside because it's 28 degrees out there...by the way...honestly! (Not that there was any preposition involved there, I just wanted to brag!
 
It is indeed. Far too large as only has two circuits but getting hold of an all insulated board (TT system) with IP rated enclosure was somewhat difficult. In hindsight it was probably the best choice due to the space within it and those glands are 40mm.

Well my job today consisted of remedying the mystery mouse fault which I enjoyed and saying 'no' to a 3 phase consumer unit replacement quote, which I didn't enjoy.

I feel I'm missing out sometimes, although I do enjoy 95% of the domestic work I do.

It’s not rocket science mate and you seem knowledgeable enough IMO. If I was you I would change your insurance and get stuck in.
