CU Change is ... dead easy!!!

I have just come across this on the dIYnot.com forum...

what do you mean get a professional to do it, I replaced mine last week with a larger unit. Okay i'm not an electrician but would say I'm electrically minded, it was dead easy you just need a bit of common sence and a good memory or diagram to remember what circuit goes where. And don't forget to remove the main house fuse but if you are a little worried the local electrical authority may stamp on you for doing this go buy yourself a nice pair of marigolds (only joking)

... hmm!, why do we bother spending 100's of pounds and going thro' hell getting qualified and assessed to become electricians.

Yea if you balls it up all the council will do is get a proper surgeon to give the patient a quick medical and all will be fine......

The problem we have is that he can do whatever he wants to his house. There is no way of policing this sort of thing, and unless he has a big problem like a fire or whatever it will never be detected, and even if it were nothing would happen.

The problem arises if he does it in somebody elses house then the s*** can hit the fan, hence we are properly registered etc.
