Roll up! Roll up!

So they are all at it, NICEIC, IET, even the training organisation I tutor for! Only £199 plus vat will bring you up to speed with the “major”developments about to be rolled out in Amendment two. Emails shot out to prospective clients in the electrical industry who have been persuaded, nay, brainwashed, into thinking that they can’t be without the critical information contained in every cough and splutter of a change to BS7671. For certain we have to keep on our toes about technical issues but the oligarchs don’t need to ram their hands into our pockets at every opportunity.
No one needs a dedicated course for the changes. There will be plenty of free information in technical magazines and places like YouTube. Keep your money, the way things are going, you’ll need £199 to fill the van with diesel!

  • Sometime ago my phone rang and I answered it to speak to a forum member, who enquired if I was in a cave because there was an echo. 

    I said I was in the toilets in Asda at High Wycombe having stopped for diesel and I was on my way to Hemel Hempstead. 

    And I am said the forum member, that's on his way to Hemel Hempstead not in the toilets at Asda, we aren't into socialising in supermarket toilets.

    He enquired why I was going to Hemel Hempstead, I said to drill six holes in a ceiling then reconnect six down lights, refit the kitchen cupboard pelmets and window blind,  having been down on the Tuesday to first fix the lights and get the job ready for the plasterers. He said he was on his way to the BSI, which was far more impressive. 

    Anyway, a hour or so later I realised I was actually sat outside the BSI stuck in traffic and this forum member would be there within five minutes as the forum member was coming from the other direction and traffic was flowing freely from his end of the road.

    Unfortunately I had already arranged to go to another job on the way back or else I could have sat on the car park to speak to the forum member face to face and maybe offer go call back after I had done the job to provide my services as a consultant in return for a pre-release copy of the new regs.

    However unfortunately my diary was full, so they missed what might have been.
