No. It's a shrine to Two Jags. I stick pins in it.
Nice to see you back in the fray where you belong.

Agile said:In all this discussion you seem to have forgotten the original person who posted the first message about fitting a fire.
He has never stated if he is CORGI registered or not and nobody has even asked him. Perhaps he is? I realise his postings imply he is not but in reality we dont know!
He has mentioned commercial installations but not domestic.
Is he CORGI registered? If not why is he working without the required qualifications?

You have a rudimentary understanding of the law of precedent, but you've drawn the wrong conclusion.Paul Barker said:...From a common sense point of view if you write to the council and say "since nobody can point me to a specific law which states I cannot register this fire with you myself, so here I am", they will laugh at you. If you have sufficient funds to take them to court and so make the law (because that is how law works, it is the result of previous trials) you will creat the very law you are looking for at your cost.
Er, yes it does.Paul Barker said:Just because something isn't writen in law, doesn't mean you can do it.
This is a fallacy - there is no such thing as implied law. Nor is there any "verbal" law, or even "common sense" law.Paul Barker said:It is implied in the laws statutes and practices that exist, and should it become necessary can be proved in law, then it is law.
It's in Statutory Instrument 1998 No. 2451, "The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) regulations 1998", which states as follows:oilman said:........only ............... Corgi registered installers, can register an installation of a gas fire.
But what law makes this specific demand?
The regs. refer to "self-employed" person, not specifically to someone self-employed as a gas fitter, installer or engineer. By a strict literal (legal?) interpretation, it would follow that a self-employed actor or accountant would be equally prohibited from gas work, if not Corgi registered, even if they were competent.Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regs. said:.......no self-employed person shall carry out any such work.......
DIY can be great fun and a great way to save money. But never DIY with gas. You could be breaking the law, you could be endangering lives and you could have enforcement action taken out against you.
