Having recently happily cut through some live wiring with a pair of
insulated pliers (thank the Penguin) and having seen the horror story
collection, and mains wiring being a safety-critical kind of thing, I'm
inclined to be happy about the new regs.

You *can* do your own wiring, but it has to be *checked* by a certified
person before use.

And there *is* a category of things you can do that are safe, useful and
don't need to be checked.

To me, it looks like pair-programming for engineers - boy, will they
scream about it...

cheers, Rich.
