[QUOTE="phil d, post: 482565, member: 27126"] I think dealing with something like this is difficult, if nobody responds then we get accused of being unhelpful, but if we do respond with an answer they don't like we get accused of being stuck up, I wonder if this is just peculiar to electricians, because you get someone on a gas forum asking about a boiler or a gas fire and they get told to get a gas fitter in and they accept it, a few months ago I was struggling with a radio network and asked advice on a radio forum, eventually I got 2 answers, both of them telling me I shouldn't be trying to do what I was doing and to call in an expert, end of subject. I think everybody is of the opinion that we make loads of cash for doing sod all and RCD'S have done us no favours, years ago people had a healthy respect, almost a fear of electric, it can kill you, now the attitude is, 'well if you get it wrong that thing will trip'. In a way I can understand Murdoch's comment, we must be the only trade where people expect 'free legal aid' but will probably try and sue you when it all goes wrong, the trouble is it usually goes wrong because either they haven't followed your instructions, or they didn't tell you the full story in the begining.
