Advice please on unsatisfactory plumber

[Softus]

Well, you can take the p*ss, but this is a serious subject and I was making a serious point.

 

[scatmanjohn]

You are correct , the subject is serious,

But surley this is not a serious comment.

be that it isn't a gas appliance until the moment that gas is piped to it

Thats plain ridiculous.

You can't rely on what Lord Denning said.

I heard him say (faced with a lot of bad press for the justice system after some people wrongly convicted of murder were set free after many years in prison) that it would be better if they had been hanged, because then they would have been forgotten about and no-one would have made a fuss.

Fine - you clearly don't want to take part in a sincere debate about it.

You say that I can't rely on what he said, but I'm not; nor am I damning the entire output of what was undoubtedly a very fine mind on the grounds that some of his views were out of date, and perhaps plainly wrong.

I was making a philosophical point, on a subject that's open to interpretation. I was attempting to widen the horizon of the view of what's considered, safe, dangerous, legal, and criminal. Perhaps you can't see my point, but it doesn't make it any less valid.

You don't happen to be a non RGI installing boilers and then getting a RGI to notify them for you.

Or have i got the wrong end of the stick.

Perhaps she has been on here and seen what we think of non registered?????

Correct - I don't do that.

I don't know why you can't take what I wrote at face value, without making a joke out of it and without looking for some axe to grind. I'm interested (on this topic) only in the accuracy of the information that's being given wrt to the GSIURs.

Er, you think I should abandon all of my principles and become a lying, scheming party political pawn who knocks up his secretary and goes to the toilet in Brussels just in order to claim it on expenses?

I am not sure

 

[Softus]

Sadly, when it comes to the Building Regs and the GSIURs, I'm as straight-laced at they come. I also declare all cash received. I'm as dull as cold dishwater, me.

However, back to the point - is it wrong for a competent plumber to do an entire boiler installation but not run gas to it, and for an RGI to come along, gas it up, verify the installation, commission it, verify it and notify it?

 

[sime10]

Sounds good tho doesn't it
