"Part P" doesn't stop DIY electrical work but such work MAY need to be

Yes, I take your point.

Do you remember the chappie on uk.radio.amateur who recommended an
earth connection to the yellow plastic water main ;-)?


Do they use yellow in Wiltshire then? In Kent water is blue and gas yellow.


I'm sure this sort of thing is done to protect the next occupiers of

When the company fails, that may not be far away.
