    I don't care if they believe it or not. It is all factual.

    Does "your world" equates to 'competent electricians', or the industry in general?

    Your average person thinks that sushi is raw fish; that doesn't mean they're correct.

    Cunniglingus is rather like eating sushi off a barbershop floor...

    No. My reply was very clear that the OP should involve an Electrician (and in a rented property this really is the duty of the landlord).

    This was the last part of your reply - I'm yet to hear what the relevance of the rest of your reply was?

    And if you'd actually bothered to read the original post

    Anyone know what is going on? I am loath to call in my estate agents when I dont have to simply because I prefer sorting my own issues however I dont see what I could do in this case.

    Seems OP is well aware he can call on the landlord, but was looking for advice beyond the obvious.

    Just because the OP would rather sort it him/herself rather than contact the landlord doesn't mean that he/she is within his/her rights to do that.

    I suspect the tenancy agreement does not allow the tenant to alter the electrical installation.

    None of which is relevant to the OPs query. And none of which has anything to do with the discussion we are having - the relevance of stating what is the certified definition of mains voltage and what is not, in the context of the original question.
