I'm patiently sat waiting for the Draft for Public Consultation to come out, so I can have a right little chuckle.

The bsi web site says its due for release at the close of play today.

Just need to think where I can borrow the money for the course, exam and books. :rolleyes:

If you want to have a butchers, someone posted this link a while ago;

Think it's gonna give me nightmares! Can't take the credit for the link, that was someone else. I'm just wondering what to do with all the old books, they're not exactly Classic Fiction.
 
The draft isn't up there yet.

I hope as many electricians as possible read it and make good sensible comments which might actually get considered by the committee.

It's set for release by the end of today, I've clicked the tick box to be emailed when its published. Pensively checking my inbox. Need something to read on holiday.
 
I'm just concerned that electricians won't bother to read it, comment on it or will submit unhelpful comments that will just get ignored.
This is an opportunity to try and head off any particularly bad changes, Andy maybe even get them to consider fixing some of the crap that's in there at the moment.

If you search for BS 7671 on the bsi web site (once registered), click BS 7671 which should display the DPC. There's a box to tick on the right marked 'Follow'.
 
If you click the link #1.

PS July 2018 ish
 
Sod it, I'm grabbing a stiff G&T, while I wait. Could be a long wait. :sunglasses:

Gonna give em ten more minutes, then my company closes for the summer shut down.
 
That's it, not waiting anymore, gins run out. I'm orrfff. They can stick their stupid DPC, probably load of nonsense anyway.
 
It's delayed until close of play Monday 5th June due to technical issues.
