So you are saying 1.5mm 2 core and earth to feed the sockets.
Ahh, this and the 2.5mm cables are the wrong ones then. I will discuss this with him, is there anything else that you feel is worrying ?
No 1.5 for lights, 2.5 twin and earth for sockets, yes everything else you have mentioned.

How do we know? Ask him. Not trying to be unfriendly but you need to speak to him. Sooner the better I think.

the qualification og ga ga is quite specific. you get your 1st ga when you reach retirement age. the 2nd ga can only be earned by reaching 70 and still working without the aid of a zimmer frame.

My Zimmer frames got an electric start and 2 wheels
But i have avoided the disease of obesity by keeping fit and cycling and walking and never smoked
I will live to an amazing old age, and be miserable as hell

Do you get the third ga when you reach 71 and you are still trying to keep up with things? or is that the C&Gs NVQ in Ga Ga Ga , cos I have lost track, I'll settle with NVQ Ga Ga cs after this afternoon I'm Ga Ga Ga as well as peesed, oh me teas ready got me bib on.
 
Will do, and you might be impressed. :)

You would be amazed to know the amount of information you have unwittingly provided for an electrician to assess the likely outcome;)

There are those who can
There are those who leave well alone
There are those that can perform well with close guidance and
There are those who think they can

One of the above is the classic disaster waiting to happen,mostly they are not even aware of their shortcomings
 
OP (late to the party), I don't understand why you have an electrician to carry out this work. Then you come to this forum to Q&A your list of materials, surely your 'electrician' would provide you with a list?

Is it me, or have we had a series of threads of a similar nature. Co-incidence or conspiracy theory :confused:

"Hence The Expression"

"As greedy as a pig"

Seriously Forum members/Admin. A nice big red button would be nice for a few DIY enthusiasts who seem to like "Checking up" as a Red herring.
