in years gone by I used to work for north thames gas as it was then called, after that I contracted as a service layer for a private co.After I went solo and started installing ch and general plumbing/ building .after several years I decided to give up the gas work completely after hearing of a local monoxide poisoning death and also realising that I could not keep up with the ongoing training that is so important for gas fitters. Therefore ,to get to the point,WHY can ordinary members of the public go into a diy or plumbers merchants and buy any gas fittings and appliances as they choose?Is the gas industry regulated or not? Air con products are restricted ,rightly, is gas considered to be safer to work with,I dont think so how about yous
