Yup, the way most would go I expect... especially as local authorities
don't seem to have got their act in order regarding signing off work set.

If you want an example of how a government can really cock up
regulations, just look at part P. Now if they had spent the same time
promoting those lottle devices which find cables etc buried in walls,
they would have done far more good, and probably saved some lives too.

The real danger with part P is that some people will take it seriously,
and die as a direct result.

Hasn't the number of deaths from unsafe domestic installations gone up
since Prat P came in?
