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,

That's a pig ignorant lie.

Well that's what the link says.

Its wrong.

It is interest ring that the people who still live under a queen

They dont.

can't read the queen's English

That isnt Liz's english.

"Repairs you can do yourself

However, there are some jobs that you can do yourself without
calling
in a qualified electrician as long as you are competent with
DIY/Handyman works around the house. These do not fall under €˜Part P
guidelines, so you dont have to notify your local building control
body if you want to:

Replace light bulbs or plug fuses
Replace a simple light fitting
Replace an existing socket or light switch like for like"

In fact you are free to add a new socket to the ring main too.

You can do what the **** you like as it's in your own home and nobody
inspects it.

I meant its legal to do that.

Apparently not, only replacing existing ones.


Wrong, ask Adam.


Like he'd know any more than any other electrician.


Corse he knows whats legal.

If you add new cabling, you're a very naughty boy.


Wrong, as always.
