No, legally any work to the fixed installation. So if I want to swap a single socket for a double I need a licensed electrician. The irony is some of what is acceptable here would not be OK in the UK, for example cables run in stud walls free of any zone constraints and sockets mounted in open frames with the back exposed to the stud wall cavity. -- Tony Bryer, Greentram: 'Software to build on', Melbourne, Australia www.greentram.com |

Well, I don't know. Seems to me that the US has a lot of mob and crime
related folk running casinos and all sorts of other things. Of course a rising number of casinos are run by Native American organisations, though there is talk that these are just fronts for more crime syndicates laundering money. So Brothels, I have no issues with that concept, only pimps and others who coerce women into doing it against their will. There are ladies who want to and like doing such things. As for not here, I doubt if we have the same legislative freedom for areas to do this here. Might be fun to see someone try it though.
