BS 3621 and Avivas home insurance advert.

UKPN
Following this weeks ongoing BS 7288 SRCD topic, a TV advert that gives me a chuckle is the above. The customer is being interrogated by a home insurance advisor and she is asking him if his home meets certain standards of security for an insurance quote. Coming to the door locks, and if they meet BS 3621 he, almost in tears remarks, " I don't know, nobody knows". It made me think of Jack, the imaginary workshop owner who changed his double sw/skt to a SCRD for safety and was told on an EICR it was potentially dangerous because it wasn't backed up by yet another 30ma rccd.


Regards, UKPN.

    I find the BS6008 method leads to tea that tastes a little stewed to my taste, as it is based on preparing tea for comparative analysis, rather than drinking for pleasure,  and personally I prefer the procedure laid down by the Royal Society of Chemistry.  Perhaps I do not hold the BSI in such high regard as some.




    Well, double+ strength teas as prepared by tea inporters, are generally pretty awful although there is one exception, Lapsang Souchong. It doesn't tar the tongue and teeth with tanins.
