I certainly hypothesize that you may be much more smart than I am; but, I'm afraid that, in itself, does not make you special, because I consider trying to operate as if that hypothesis is true for everyone to be one of the few sure ways I can improve whatever smidgen of intelligence I might have. Yet, I also think many people are smart enough to masquerade as much smarter than they actually are (fooling themselves, as well as others); I think the instant-access to almost all information on the Internet is a particularly valuable tool for maintaining a pretense of intelligence, simulating being informed. Sure works for me :) But, clearly, you are not one who masquerades as any kind of intelligence :) cheers, Bill

Nah, if you buy a whole new switch you have to get an electrician to inspect your work and issue a certificate... :sigh:

seriously? In the states we just put in a new switch and be done with the whole thing.

Semi-serious. You have to get a safety certificate for work done in "notifiable" areas.
From April 2013 electrical work in a dwelling, or associated with its surroundings, is notifiable to a local building control body where the work includes:
...
-- any alteration or addition to an existing circuit in a special location*, whether at low voltage (typically 230 V) or extra-low voltage*A special location is a room containing a bath or shower, swimming pool or a sauna heater.
In this case he would be changing a switch in a bathroom, which is a "special location" so he should technically pay an electrician to check up on his work. Despite the fact that every Sparks I've met is seemingly incapable of telling the difference between a Red wire and a Black wire, and willing to use both colours for the Live 230VAC circuit in the same room...
We live in a Nanny State where Health and Safety rules. Fear it: it will come to you soon... :~

Of course you can. But you're ostracised if you don't vote for bacon.

I was referring to where he said "stupid", but I could be dumb enough to have got it wrong. I lie about my height a lot.

Well, yes. I certainly am. But many of the others here are really very bright indeed - I'm just good at lying about my height, and it seems to be working so far.
