Visited one of my friends at the weekend - he bought his house brand new
about a year ago. He was putting in an outside tap at the weekend, and after
consulting the diagrams showing where all the pipework ran underneath the
surface of the wall, and making use of his wire/metal/stud detector thing he
started drilling.... straight through the Hep2O running diagonally
underneath the plasterboard.

He was not happy.

Very sad story, but no doubt will be seized upon as justification for
changes to the Electrical Wiring Regulations (Part P)

Made me think to invest in a good wiring detector for drilling holes
etc.

Many new house builders give these free in the starter pack.
