So there is an advert that has been playing on the radio on the way to work (Edge Wellington is you must know).

 

The ad suggests that changing a lightbulb is okay but for anything else you should consult a master electrician.

 

Wording is similar to this (from http://www.masterelectricians.co.nz/) ;

 

Q: HOW MANY ELECTRICIANS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB?
A: NONE YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF

 

But for most other jobs, you must use a licensed registered expert who can give you certification.

 

The ad also mentions "new" regulations etc. but AFAIK there are no new regulations (since 2010?)

 

When I first heard this I thought this is scare mongering and frankly misleading.

 

Is it just me?

I may not be well grounded, but as far as the advertisement is concerned my thoughts are rather neutral. In saying that, I could just be going through a phase.

 

Now, back to my rock....





People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
