When a safety issue is identified, often a new regulation is devised.
Almost always it is not retrospective.

This seems to lead the brain dead here to think that just because they see something, that this is the current practice.
EG
Newer gas installations are safer than the practice of only twenty years ago by a factor of around ten. Due to new regulations concerning installation.
But it's not economic to rip out every existing gas installation.

If you want to upgrade it's up to you and nobody else.
You have to man up and make a decision. Save the money or take the risk.

The same applies to electrical installations, motor cars, building construction, virtually every technology.


We also seem to have half wits who only want to hear certain things.
ie, if i's going to cost/doesn't suit, they are deaf/that can't be right.

And others whose reading/comprehension skills are pretty abysmal, ie when confronted with a simple paragraph are unable make sense of it.
