I would assume it to be at least good practice to not rely on a bayonet

an indefinite period (knowing what we do now about safety)


If they are considered dangerous there needs to be a national
advertising campaign to alert the public to the dangers and a
government backed process to have them all replaced. Wonder why that
has never happened? Could it be that the majority of such connectors
are the same as the one sitting unused in my kitchen with the
probability of a fault no worse than on any other gas fitting?

the cost ?

There are so many things that need campaigns - think about roof slates for
example - walk along any shop fronted high street an look and see how many
displaced / loose tiles you see

So many other examples

Maxie, I think the HSE man can insist that tiles are fixed. All he needs do
is walk down the High St, note, and contact the owners. If they do not
respond, the Council can step in, do the work and charge. If they do not pay
then court proceedings to get the money.
