Default Part ??? of building regs. What's next

Just had a thought.

Part P is the latest addition to the building regs.

Building regs tend to be assigned a letter ( part P ) based on their time of
initial assignment from what I can gather.

So what will Part Q be?

This is purely speculative, not based on fact and fictitious but possibly
incorporating:

Part Q ( Fixtures to dwellings and the safety thereof ) section 1 ( ODPM
directive ).
No one shall fit a picture frame to a wall in a dwelling that incorporates a
glass protective covering of the picture be it reflecting or non-reflecting
glass.
All protective coverings must be either toughened glass or made of plastic
complying with BS303030.
If you change the picture in a said frame you must also upgrade the glass
protective covering or the frame to one approved or use a person registered
with a Competent Person self registering competence body.
Changing the picture in the frame and not using a Competent Person means
that you need to apply for building regs approval.
Pictures fitted above head height ( 2.5 metres to ensure the tallest is
protected ) must be securely fixed to the wall using fasteners that comply
with BS10101010.
Also, pictures of a particularly attractive nature - where a person may
require close viewing - must use a frame that cannot introduce wood
splinters into their flesh as they view - in brief the frame must comply
with BS20202020.
Building regs notification to change a picture in a fixed domestic picture
frame OR the frame itself will only cost £ 58.00 unless done by a COMPETENT
PERSON.

This is a discussion igniter only - but do you see where I'm heading.

The regulators will no doubt be working to regulate similar as they read
this post.

Maybe I should have kept it to myself - unless of course you are a picture
framer.

What other Part Q's could there be?

Sceptical - what me - no!!

It was provision of telephone and data network wiring to and
around the home. Whilst it was being drafted and consulted
upon, WiFi came along and made it redundant, although I'm
surprised they noticed that and didn't bring it in anyway.

The requirement for builders to install phone/data cable
ducting from the street to the house on new builds was the
only bit of it which seemed reasonable to me.

I reckon Part T. Or Part Tea to be precise.

"Any person working in domestic premises must be provided with a large mug
of tea at intervals not exceeding 1 hour".

All light fixings shall be lowerable to a height suitable for a Disabled
Person in a Wheelchair to change the bulb in.

Insulation to an overall average U value of 0.03 s mandatiorty.

Ventilation to reduce this to an average value of one, must be installed.

Yesterdays customers passed the test then.

The customers were not in and left a key with the next door neighbour. I
picked the key up and let myself in. Just inside the door was a hand drawn
plan of the kitchen highlighting the positions of the kettle, tea, coffee
and milk with the words "HELP YOURSELF MATE" written underneath.

If they're short-bread possibly.

However, one does have to be careful about soggy biscuit

I was trying to be as Nice as possible when thinking of a suitable allusion.

Workmen in South Shields are historically quite fond of a Garibaldi.


With the mining in that area, I would have thought Ore-o would be more suitable

Golfers at Lytham find that they provide a rich tee.
