A 50p is the universal standard for scale reference in any photos. I frequently use a special smaller version that I've had made in the special photos I send to people

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.

Have to agree on the grammar though...a preposition is something with you never end a sentence.
Indeed, that is something up with which I will not put.

Tip:
If ever you inadvertently find you are going to end a sentence with a preposition, just pause (if speaking) or add a comma (if writing), then add "by the way".
"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!

Is that a Hager IP board?

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.

Come on Lee! You must know I'm a domestic installer not a full blooded electrician. I'd love to change one but apart from not having enough knowledge I am also not insured to work on 3 phase.
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.
