In regard to training, we seem to have lost pride in a good job done well and the electrical installation and repair market is very broken up by competing professional groups and poor-quality short-course training companies. The Wiring Regs are getting over-regulated and the training under-organised under-regulated and under-funded.

Put more eloquently than I did ;)
Was there ever a time when unqualified chancers would not / could not undercut the skilled individual? By virtue of being in this forum, I'm willing to bet that the majority in here DO take pride their work.
