I know you CORGI guys have to self police your works, but can't you get the
job of following up on any kitchen installation / renovations etc? Because
that is a killer waiting to happen.

As soon as I looked at the first photo' I thought, No, that can't be the

same way now. And it's cost cutting measures that are causing this to

Well think through the implications of that. Have the Part P regulations
make electrical systems safer? The *rise* in deaths from electrocution
that has followed would suggest not.

Remember also that you can't legislate against cowboys - who almost by
