Nothing - they keep badgering me to register for Electfix but I have not even done that (as I hold a nominal "domestic installer" qualification and sometimes buy a few bits). I have not got the heart to tell them that I go to TLC up the road for serious purchases. |

It's a policy guaranteed that some of these items will be incorrectly fitted. -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

"You have chosen an item which can only be sold to customers registered with the Gas Safe Register." What bollox! I had exactly the same response from the staff at the local Pumb Center quite some time ago for a flexible cooker connection hose [1] - but they said that they could "recommend someone who would supply and fit the thing". I politely explained that they were wrong and were working a scam to help their mates get easy work - and told them where they could put that hose. I then proceeded to an independent plumbers merchant a few miles away and bought the item that I wanted without any problems - and a few days later, I saw the same make flexible cooker hose in the local B&Q for double the price that I paid! Later on that day, I e-mailed the Plumb Center head office outlining what had happened and asking them if they would send their reasons by return e-mail - and I'm still waiting for that reply some seven years after the event. [1] I explained that the item was for my son - who is qualified within the electronics manufacturing industry (a far higher qualification than the then Corgi one) to install pipe-work for gases that are almost immediately fatal to life if they escaped into the atmosphere - to install his new gas cooker.
