Legalities of changing sockets and brakes in England?
 
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, but you can change the brakes on your car. The second one is FAR more dangerous to other people!

I'm not sure about that.

Bad brakes are less likely to cause:

While poor electrical work often leads to fire.

Nowadays only in your own home, only endangering you or your own family. But if you end up with no brakes, you could kill many innocent strangers by crashing into them. Why do you think cars are inspected annually for safety but houses aren't?

While I'm no fan of Part P and I'm not defending it, perhaps you'd be
less irate if you checked a decent source.

That one has obvious contradictions. Eg: Look at the entry referring to
sockets in both lists. (Item 1 in first list, 3&4 in second list.)

You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the apostrophes in the right place. Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the union for all electricians.

I do bugger all on my car, usually because something that needs replacing is old enough to be rusted solid and I either break it, the tool, or my hand, trying to free it. But electrical work is very easy.

It's not about safety.* The electrician's union owns more government
lawmakers
than the mechanic's union.

Which electrician and which mechanic are you referring to?

Did you read his post at all?* He referred to a union, not an
individual.


Did you not see where the apostrophes were at all?* They referred to an
individual's union in each case.


You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the apostrophes in
the right place.


He's obviously not.

Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the
union for all electricians.


Only the illiterate would do that...the same sort of people who think
plural's take apostrophe's.

That should have been electricians' union and mechanics' union, as any
skoolboy knows.
