Up here in the top bit of Britain we still have a Roman legal system and our
advocates are all trained in Roman law in order to qualify.

Personally, I think the rather older Code of Hammurabi has its advantages.

229: If a builder has built a house for a man and his work is not strong,
and if the house he has built falls in an kills the householder, that
builder shall be slain. ... 233: If a builder has built a house for a man,
and his work is not done properly and a wall shifts, then that builder shall
make that wall good with his own silver.

Now, how do I achieve boiler interlock to B Regs compliance on a hypocaust?
