Gave my mum a new pond pump for Xmas. Inside box was a note that the
installation had to be notified to the local snivel serpents under
Part whatever regs.

How completely namby pamby and a sad reflection on the state this
country has become. The comment a month or so ago about UK becoming a
STASI state was spot on.

If a recall correctly, just get a friendly electrician who is able to
certify the installation under the Part P regs to fit the pond pump and
there is no need to inform the local authority - oh, and keep the
certificate somewhere safe.

If that is incorrect then I stand to be corrected as I don't normally play
with electrics to any degree.

Or just fit it and forget to tell 'em, and if the LA discovers this "heinous
crime" - just remove it, but I doubt if they would really bother!

However, since we have stored your details on a CD we will probably manage
to lose it in the near future.

UK data security will soon not matter - our government are thinking of
awarding the next census contract to an American company who will have
to disclose the contents to the US government under the terms of the
Patriot Act.

Then don't fill it in*, no-one will notice and nothing will happen.
[*] but don't refuse to fill it in, "bing bong it's been filled in and
sent off, no I'm not going to fill in another, if you've lost it, it's
your hard luck door closes"
