New regs books

[Pete999]

Plus redo regs course & exam

I agree Ant, that's another scam that requires overhauling

Gassafe is more logical in this country. According to a mate who's registered any changes to their regs takes the form of loose pages that are inserted into the ring binder the regs come in. So, as an example they get told to remove pages 65-81 and replace with the new pages sent out. Much more sense. Jobs for the boys and gravy train spring to mind for some reason when I think of The IET.

We had loose leaf regs wth the 16th edition and then we went backwards

I'm not sure loose leaf is the answer to be fair - my college file is hanging to bits because I'm in and out it all the time, and the 2 holes per page aren't strong enough to hold.

Digital is the answer. Every man and his dog has an iPad nowadays, and a lot use them for work in some form too. Our digital regs are absolute dog muck - all that is needed is a simple PDF file that is in the same format as our printed book. You can DRM PDF files so there's no excuse for it really. Hells - I have a copy of the red book digitally - I find I use it more than my printed yellow book because it's so accessible.

With you on normal loose leaf stuff mate, a right pain, but this Spanish one is all laminated, so it wont fall to bits that easily, not that difficult for some IET wizard to come up with the goods, oh on second thoughts that would loose them money, stupid thought in the first place.

Oh I agree with that, those Spanish regs look just the ticket. I was more talking in reply to the loose leaf format of the gas regs someone mentioned.

Never had a problem with the loose leaf regs

Really, I don't do overpriced i fashion accessories although I agree an e-reader based regs would be useful

Think i was Watch a OLD REPEAT (BBC FOR YOU) Rip off Britian and they talked about Regs books
the Copy ones have better paper .. better binding.. but about 8-10 miss prints and cheaper
Maybe the ITE should HIRE these people that copy them and get them to make it

So less misprints than the real ones, hmmm.

There are no effing good though, because it's all written in frigging Spanish. Apparently though, they have a whole chapter on how to take a siesta, and make a good paella.

How effing right is that ! - If you can read Spanish and live in Spain then you 'll be onto a winner. Else it is an example of how we should do things in this Country, but it will not be at 22 Euros.....

Surely if we just read the Spanish regs a touch louder and slower, and then stuck an 'o' on the end of every other word it would be a direct translation and would make lots of sense?

This thread is good, have you been to Spain? Health and safety??? Third world at best, surprised they even have regs, let alone the contents...
