Cowboy Trap (BBC) wrong again!

[rocker]

Okay, so I've been on my back for 5 days now after knackering it on a job last week. While doing my exercises, I managerd to catch about 2 minutes of The Cowboy Trap (which I've posted about before) and see they are up to their old tricks of spouting absolute rubbish! I'm not the kind of person to write a stiff letter to the daily mail if my local shop runs out of bread, but I'm fed up of all this rubbish on these shows, so I dun a letter to them. Once again, we've had:

Experts talking rubbish ('Fire hoods should e installed so you can put insulation on top of downlighters without them catching fire').
Yet more undue providence given to NICEIC.
Once again - 'don't ever trust leaflets'

That was in literally a randomly selected three-minute period! I know I'm coming off all Daily Mail but it really winds me up that these idiots can spread this rubbish without fear of repercussion.

We have complained before and it kinda got noticed, so why not again??

Suppose in a way he might be right though perhaps mentioning that in reality they are to maintain the integrity of the buildings fire barrier would have been better .............

That's all they're there to do. In fact, covering up a downlighter like that stops heat dissipating... if it had anything to do with d/ls catching fire, it would be that it madethem catch fire more easily.

Managed to crawl around Weds and Thurs to get some power in the guy's house, but have been on my bloody back since then! Hopefully will finish up in the enxt couple of days, got a few bits on for the next couple of weeks but nothing big on the horizon... I'll have to get out and do some promotion! How about you, you busy. See you're still on nights
