This is insane. Legally (like anyone pays any attention to these laws)
you cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical socket to your own
home, but you can change the brakes on your car. The second one is FAR
more dangerous to other people!

nanny state.....

Indeed. We'd be better off with no government at all. Why should we have a group of people watching over us? There should be a "none" on the voting form.

I don't trust a garage to do my brakes and even my wife can
do pads and discs well....

I do bugger all on my car, usually because something that needs replacing is old enough to be rusted solid and I either break it, the tool, or my hand, trying to free it. But electrical work is very easy.
