    Why it's worth paying a decent amount for a proper PAT Test

    I taught a PAT Testing training course in a hotel last week. My customer, who organised the course, had told the hotel staff I was coming, and it seems they panicked, and booked somebody to come in and test their own stuff. I think they were worried in case I noticed that they hadn't had it...
