Default Gritish Bas & Electrical Safety

Point is, the Gritish Bas bloke uses a presumably 'live' 13 amp
plugtop to
connect into a socket outlet - clearly a very dangerous thing to do.
Imagine if a small child on one of those little green planets
unplugged it &
touched the live pin?


BG must have part P accreditation for their staff so you are probably
incorrect in assuming that the use of live plug isn't safe.


Part P does not cover portable appliances and hence plugs ;-)
