any signs detailing requirements for notification under Part P? Maybe worth a chat with the depot manager if not.

I wonder if the have good Professional Indemnity insurance plus this is a classic example of the sheds saying yes you can fit a fuseboard and here is "Willie" who is 75 and a retired civil servant and he has been on a 5 minute course on how to fit a new consumer and he is here to a special advisor to show you how to do it.

Jings you could not make this up could you.

There may be a legal case here for anyone willing to take up the reigns. I was thinking along oldtimer's post really with regards to indemnity. Maybe a word in the manager's ear about notification and liability would see the removal of this display, or an adaptation of it to include advice about the dangers of self installation, the requirements for testing, and notification, and maybe some cards of local registered electricians who could safely install the goods bought at the sheds.

a little tip for anyone struggling for work. Go and hang out at B and Q. I think I've potentially picked up a job every time I've been there.

Your not that guy they are talking about lurking in the electrical section with Professional Electrician along with a Schemie Badge on your T shirt ?

Anyway lets get serious because our trade is officialy a joke how come Customer dont tell me this is a highly skilled proffesion I can go down to the big orange shed and buy a consumer unit for £80 . Plus the nice old pensioner on speed is "happy to serve" will give me all the coaching I need.

What angle to you go in with, B&Q have "You can do it when you B&Q it", do you have something like "I can fix it when you have B&Q'ed it"
