\o/

It's quite a regular thing for me to do here I think it's probably because I talk so fast my brain canny keep up so I forget the simplist of words/titles so I either a) substitute it for the nearest word my brain can find which sounds similar but has a completely different meaning (I'm a proper Mrs Malaprop) or b) put together a string of words which makes up the word I'm thinking of but canny recall.

Oddly enough though, when required I have a pretty neat little memory. *bizarre*

T'is true - guy at Mics work is employed as an electrician but because he doesn't have some certificate or other, he isn't allowed to do any housing electrics

Buuut... is he allowed to do it all and then get someone in to check it all out? Am I right in thinking that?

Like... I could rewire the whole of my house and then get a chap in the next week to certify it's not dangerous?

Don't think so, think it has to be done by the guy with the certificate else it isn't legal and when you tried to sell your house it would have to all be done again

I could be completely wrong of course

THIS will probably answer your question although it seems that the only reliable answer is to 'phone your Building Control Officer, hang on the line for half an hour or so and then flip a coin

Really? I'm sure last I heard it was okay to get it tested and checked afterwards for a fail/pass certification jobby!

Well I'll be. That's gonna screw up a lot of developers out there wanting to save a few bucks!

*edit* Just saw your linky ABS! Good old google! Humdiggity to the council, it's all blooming wishy washy. Blooming phonelines and regulations!

My dad was an electrical engineer so he taught me how to do it when I was a kid.

Also learned in Guides I think :/

Had to change the fuse in my hairdryer a couple of months ago.
