The trade needs some sort of scheme alongside gas safe. These 5ww courses should b outlawed.

So let's get this straight us up here in Scotland (who only wear kilts and all have ginger hair) are bad sparks because we don't have a the mockery that is part p? Some joiner trying to save money on other trades watches a sparky a few times putting sockets on and installing nice down lighters...
