Is electrical work going the same way as gas work? Will light switches for
example, be disappearing from B&Q cos it will needs a qualified person to do
the job?

Gas fittings haven't disappeared so why should light fitting?

But there is nothing in place that says you can't carry out any DIY for yourself. That's
why it is called Do It Yourself. The point of being able to carry out work for others,
and profit from that work, is the coverage of the legislations. You can still quite
happily blow yourself and your property to kingdom come with a faulty gas or electrical
installation, just as long as you don't interfere with the property and well being of
others around you. It's this point that gets you into trouble.

What are you rambling on about? It has absolutely nothing to do with
the question of whether electrical accessories will disappear from B&Q
as far as I can see and even less to do with my response.

..... and I *WISH* you'd limit your postings to less than 80 columns,
they are a right mess when wrapped to fit (and, yes, there is an RFC
which recommends 80 columns or less, it's not just my whim).
