Low risk or to BS7671 for DIY?

I agree with @JohnW2
However a PM also has problems, as if you make an error, no one else can correct your error.

I have offered advice in PM, primarily to avoid the wrath of the likes of Winston and BAS but I'm very selective and hope I make the right decision to do so. However as Eric says there is no second opinion that way and a little while ago I misunderstood the OP, fortunately nothing went bang but it made me sit up.

Same here.

As I said, I would rarely, if ever, feel the need to actually give 'primary technical advice' by PM, at least partially for that reason. As I said, I far more commonly do it (less often, now that some forum members have left!) when someone has been given (what I regard as) perfectly reasonable advice (by myself, in the view of others, or by others) but someone has jumped in and confused the issue with comments about 'strict compliance with the regs' or comments about terminology etc. etc.! In other words, what I most commonly tell people in PMs is to "ignore XYZ and take notice of what everyone else has said"!
