I have thought that they should be freely available on the internet and you pay if you want a paper copy.

The guide don't include all regs!

Have you not worked it out that its all a money making game

you have to buy it when you are with a scam

so there is a premium on it

 
Not one to cause an argument...

but you do need to sit back and look at the bigger picture of book publications in general...

whichever way you want to look at it "BS7671" and all associated guidance notes.. OSG etc... etc..

ARE "specialist publications" for a small number of the population...

They never going to be top of the best sellers list or even in the top 10 books recommended by Richard & Judy!!! :eek: ; \

So not get to the

 
of you go Spesh

go and buy 50,000 so Deke can save a tenner !!!!! :^O :^O:^O

you know it makes sense !!!!

 
And I was only thinking the other night...

whilst I was drinking me Captain Smiths Titanic thingyGuiness Drink

could do with a nice book to read now...

where is my copy of .. "Bovine Medicine: Diseases and Husbandry of Cattle"

(Hardcover NOT paperback)...?

then thought.... OH BUM!!! :( I never bought a copy:(

I shall have to stick to my favourite book!

You know I luv it!

:^O :^O:^O:^O

 
Hey Specs, OK I take your point about the price of the regs, had'nt looked at it that way.

So you have copy of Magnets Bulbs and Batteries too, I use mine as the On -Site guide, the ELECSA guy was'nt that impressed though.

You probably only had the 16th edition of Magnets Bulbs and Batteries..

Not the 17th! they get a bit funny if your not up-to-date! :p :^O

also they may not like it if it still had...

"this book belongs to Sandra" written in purple wax Crayola crayon on the front cover!! :^O

It IS the only lectwick book I understand.... needs to have pictures.. :p

like the front cover illustration.. "how to rewind a burned out 3-phase motor"!!!Blushing] :)

Isn't it the '<<' button on the remote control............

 
Thats weird , Specs, how did you know what is written on the front of my OSG. I'll have to hide it inside my 1963 Eagle comic pull-out , The Wonderfull World of Electricity & Magnetism for Girls.

I get a bit confused when something is referred to as a 'British Standard' as it implies that this is something that should be available to everyone in Britain. I appreciate the cost of publication for a limited number of books - but this should be available on the internet for free as it allows anyone to check up on what is specified. How can it be a standard if it's hidden?
