No longer competant

[Mr Magoo]

After being self employed for the last 5 years and paying the NIC scam ransom i got fed up with the hassle of it all so took a full time on the books job and i am pleased i did,having a young family and mortgage its nice to know how much i have coming in each month,i have still been doing the odd job as i was still registered which has now rum out,so i am now no longer classed as competent as i aint registered,i have been asked by a mate to change a consumer unit i explained to him i aint registered anymore and he said he aint bothered as he knows my work will be safe and he would rather trust me than some clueless muppet out of the local rag (his words)so i guess i will have to notify my local LABC,will they charge me the full building notification fee or will they accept my certs(green)as i have 2391 been doing it for years and as of yesterday i was deemed competent by a scam provider.

Something just aint right with this Part P.

What makes me laugh is the amount of people that say no you cannot do a notifiable job and no notify as its breaking the law, then go and do a notifiable cu change, inform LABC via there scam provider etc so it's all lawful..... But to do the change they pull the DNO fuse and cut the seal.... You see what I'm getting at

It seems these days, that just plucking a screwdriver or dare I say, a knife out of your bag to do a job,it instantly sets off the "you cant do that alarm" brigade

Seals and Notifiable work,scams.Perhaps its time to just be the electrician you always were,that is, before these internet forums became infested with the fear of god types :yes:
