God forbid anyone should take any notice of them!....I noticed a capital P
on a label stuck in some lobelia seedlings in the supermarket the other
day...the P is for protection! - it's just another 'jobs for the boys'
ruling like the ones where it's now illegal to replce a lightswitch in
your
house, or replace a pane of glass.

It's not illegal to replace a light switch. The new rules on electrical work
require the Local Authority's building control department to be told about
most electrical work but NOT repairs, replacements and other maintenance
work. Neither do they have to be told about the addition of extra power or
lighting points or other alterations to existing circuits unless these are
in a kitchen, bathroom or outside.

This "you need an electrician to change a bulb" stuff is a myth!
