DO i need to go part P registered?

[hamlettphil]

hi people first time on the forum so hello. Im an electricain, have been for nealy ten years now, got all the qualifications etc etc. work are just about to pay for me to do the 17th.

Right im just in the middle of starting my own part time business up, to do at weekends and after work. I work for a local goverment authority in the north west, so they dont mind us doing our own little thing on the side.

i know i have to spend a bit, got van, tools, brand new tester etc. heard a few people say that the part P scheme is a load of rubbish, just another way to get a boatful of money out of people. Is it nessecary to go part P? I wont be turning over a lot of money, Can i self certify my work on the test sheets you get in the wholesalers?

If your looking for an excuse to be unregistered I must say
Part p has been a fantastic success for the following reasons





It has been shown that many thousands of us are easily duped into contributing hard earned money to a useless cause and that our gullible ness continues unabated
In fact, many extra victims are being produced in short periods to top up and increase the profitability of the sting

It was also amazingly simple and successfully encouraged by our own industry that the government must have thought the average spark to be somewhat backward in not opposing such nonsense as part p, then or now

It benefits many people,all those may I say who happen not to be the contributors to this theft of a working mans earnings



There,that just goes to show,things dont always seem to be what was intended,aka part nonsense
