CORGI? What can they do? They don't make the regs. They are a
self
interest group.

True, but whether you like it or not, they are the body designated
by
the HSE, who in turn are designated by law to which professional
fitters must belong.

I would remind you that your pugilistic pal wants to extend the same
concept across the entire construction and maintenance industry.

I don't like it either, and wrote to my MP about it. Twice. Why
don't
you write to Raynsford about it, or his boss or even his boss's
boss?

Do you think Thatcher is worth writing to.


These days, possibly not; although it may well be more effective even
now than writing to the hard of thinking in the ODPM.

One may not have agreed with the Baroness's actions, but at least
there was never any confusion over where she stood on important
issues.

Yep, always stood in the wrong place. The women was such a failure.


That depends on your perspective.

She promised all a meritocracy and totally failed.

Now then, about failures - you
have failed to comment on government
over-legislation in the construction industry.

Andy, you have it wrong. The government should regulate even more. The
quality of the crap dished up by construction companies is dire. More
pre-checks, and bigger fines for obvious not nailing down roofs and the
likes, should be done. Checks for quality not just structural soundness,
should undertaken, not re-active suing, as only parasite lawyers make money
then. The best way is to prevent the poor quality in the first place. The
UK has an international reputation of being cowboys. Lat year the big house
builders made record profits with the lowest number of homes built since the
1920s. In the 1920s the population was only in the 40 millions too, making
this even worse when the big picture is fully viewed.

Do you have anything meaningful to say on the
subject,

See above and no doubt you were astounded.

or are you going to continue with the same diversionary
tactics as ((jag++)++) and his cronies?

Prescott should dish out a few left hooks, that is clear. The ST Rich list
still puts parasite landowners and large construction company owners as the
richest people in the UK. Foreign billionaires using London as a sort of
base, with pet footy teams too, don't count as UK billionaires.
