I've messed up - electric shock after plastering wall

I think you have missed the point.

How can you break, let alone be prosecuted for breaking, a regulation that does not exist?

I haven't missed the point.

I am stating, it is wrong to make the "not mandatory statement" because it implies regs can be ignored

Having said that, because they are not 'mandatory', the 'regulations' can be ignored, with no risk of punishment, provided that one can successfully argue that the requirements of (the one sentence of) Part P of the Building Regs have been satisfied.

Talking in riddles, and how would you successfully do that, would you state that you ignored the regs?

I haven't missed the point.

Yes, you obviously have.

That is not the point.

For the point in question - there is NO regulation.

Read what I have said, that is my point, and nothing else no hidden words or meanings

.... how would you successfully do that ....

Maybe you couldn't do it, but I do not believe that I would find it difficult to successfully argue that sleeving a CPC with the wrong colour (or not sleeving it at all) was not a violation of Part P of the Building Regs.

Why would I want to argue about that? why are you avoiding my point that you are wrong to imply that all regs can be ignored because they are not mandatory?
That is the only point I have raised

Where do you think I said, or even implied, that? I merely pointed out that the statement about "mandatory" was factually incorrect.

Thanks, you've made my point

@Larry1990 the thread has got derailed by bickering again but here's my hint.

Next time take the switches, sockets etc off the back box, pull them away from the wall and cover them in a taped up plastic bag, cling film or something similar. It stops water getting in.

Yes I really enjoyed having a goplastering, I'm happy to say I did another wall and it was a better result. Do you have any tips?

Cheers Larry
