Had our first post new MCS Guideline audits from both bodies in Sept.
Both went very well. MCS guy was a bit dry and factual. RECC lady was really interesting and very supportive and informative.
No major changes to how we operate. Couple of changes to our website. And a few small changes...

No, don't panic, this isn't a plea for help, just sympathy. Asked to check out a bungalow this morning, (friend of the wife) apparently the "big switch in the fuseboard keeps tripping?"
Oh well, turned up with the family in toe as I thought this won't take long. Old Wylex board with BS 4293 RCD...
I was doing an EICR today on a bog standard terraced house, and as part of that was checking the fuse ratings in the boiler FCU etc. (always do this as often people can't be bothered to swap out the 13amp fuse). Anyway, found the boiler FCU was fitted with a 1amp fuse, a spur for a built-in...

It's not unusual to come across some dodgy work in a kitchen, but I had to post this:

This is the only time I don't mind paying for their living expenses and food as they rot in jail.... 6 kids died because he was trying to hatch a plan to keep custody of his kids because he couldn't live his lazy life without their benefits they brought in. :rant:
Just spent another £20 on another on site guide which seemed to deteriorate at the first hint of a drop of water. I've been looking for an alternative reference guide to keep in the van to protect the more expensive books. Found one at www.dottweb.co.uk which has a decent amount of info in it...
