I thought I was clear. No, I wasn't saying that one (anyone) 'must' comply with the regulations but, rather, that it is for anyone (including the OP) to decide whether or not he/she wants to.
I need not tell you that not everyone chooses to comply with all the regulations (or laws) all of the time, any more than they do in relation to speed limits, parking restrictions etc. etc.. What (in my opinion) matters that anyone doing electrical work should be aware of what the Wiring Regs 'require' - but it is not my place to 'police' whether or not they chose to comply with those requirements!
