RE: New UK Building Regs. Will Outlaw DIY Wiring

["Brendan" <jbh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Certainly is the case in Ireland where all work has to be signed off by
a RECI (Registered Elect Contractor).  In some instances, it is possible
to 'persuade' a RECI man to sign off work done.
Again - all done 'in the interests of safety'
