You mean up here in this fine land where no part p exists?
Come the election ...............come Part McPee ...mark my words .
Of course it will. Standard stuff for a socialist Scottish government. Skim a little off a lot of people to create lots of non jobs for civil servants....
Ah ! You can see it too Murdo !!!!
you mean abolish the scams etc and admit they are not fit for purpose? i dont think so...

I'm still waiting for someone to find some statistics about the number of electrical accidents comparing part pee land to non part pee land.
That probably won't happen either Dave .
I don't know what to think TBH . I think it has focused minds with some sparks who suddenly find they have a scammer scheme looking over their shoulders , plus the fact that they are putting their name to the jobs .
But I still come across builders , DIYers, Kitchen Fitters , Bathroom Fitters and Domestic Sparks who totally ignore the whole thing .

There's still a market on ebay for red / black t&e

There's quite a bit in our store room that I haven't weighed in yet 
the only stuff I'm keeping for myself is the 2.5 singles

Any 2.5 t&e in decent nick over 5M, put it on ebay. Worth more than new cable now it seems.There's quite a bit in our store room that I haven't weighed in yet
When you do a rewire on a timber framed house there's usually some good lengths in good condition. I'm hoping I will get the go ahead to do the flood damaged one I quoted for a couple of weeks back (the old cable will dry out okay for ebay) :innocent

I dont understand why old colour cable is worth more.
No one goes around checking if something has been installed and not notified, and if they did would the old colours really convice the fictional checker its an old install.
No one checks what has been notified, if i grassed up a few builders i doubt anything would happen. Not that i would know who to inform. Its the homeowner who would have the fine anyway, but im sure it can all be claimed the installation is not finished yet which is why it has not been notified.
