On this programme it was highlighted that fake cable is being used, this can lead to fire due to insufficient copper in the cable, which cause overheating. Toxic fumes from the PVC on the cable that should protect us in an event of fire, this cable is known as fire resistant and last for up to 3hrs in a fire not like the fake cable which as the programme showed about 5 minutes
This could be one of the reasons for cheap job , also cheap accessories from abroad, you as consumer never knows, like Russian roulette.

This cold weather has been an excellent time for my company, so the last month was a blur, breakdowns, call outs, for fuse board, heating, outside light, installations of heating etc due to this weather, you could say a balck cloud had a silver lining or may be gold
We look to next year now and may you all have a good year
