Talking ******** by telling people to stay away from Electrical work

not do it and of course,nobody there to contradict her.

A "pro" may not do a good job.
In New Zealand we have a TV programme called Target where
professionals are asked to do all kinds of jobs while the owner is
away. There are hidden cameras.
Many professionals do not do a good job.
Some wander around the house
& check the panty drawers etc. Some pinch money.

And this is actually broadcast on TV? With permission of the workman or not?

When the workman does something too embarrassing they blur out his
face. However the name of the company is shown. Invariably the company
says that "he no longer works there."
It might be sad if he loses his job. But almost always he has also
done a poor job as a tradesman. Perhaps he will improve or stop doing
inappropriate things in future. Or sell panties for a living.
I always assume that I am being videoed. I know I am, around home
(where I have 8 CCTV cameras to catch crooks) or at work.

I do use a professional for significant electrical work, and I won't
have gas in my house. I've called the fire brigade twice for a major
gas leak in the house next door.
