18th edition

when will you be able to purchase copys of the 18th edition?

From the 1st july onward.

You can pre-order now from various places for delivery as soon as it is available.

Why nor wait until all the mistakes are corrected and the amendments added as doubtless we will be being charged for this!

this will be called the 19th edition :facepalm:

I will wait until the £5 CD versions appear on ebay.  That's about what is is worth.

Being in England, my scam won't accept a dodgy CD copy....

I had this argument with my scammers many years ago..."you can't have that, it's a copy"!

me........"your rules say you must have a Copy of the current regs.  This is a copy"

them...."yes but no but yes but no...but that is not what it means"

me.....'but that is what it SAYS'

i was doing it as a windup...I already had a copy but I was seeing how far I could push it...I pushed it quite a distance

Only admitted to my ruse to stop him having a seizure

Is it really important where it comes from providing its current?

Well yes ............ they want the profit from selling you the books!

My assessment is in May or June this year - wonder if they will expect me to have the 18th books by then? I'm inclined to wait as long as I can!

hard to have the book before its released

Do I need to be "18th Edition" for metal munching? 

Oh please Duck don’t go giving them ideas, they’re more than capable of coming up with enough daft ones on their own. 

Soon we’ll have a Dummies guide to electrics, or is that the 18th? 

Well least for the time being I will be okay, it wont be long til the agency's are looking for '18th edition sparks!'

Is that like rug munching?

Just had my latest assessment , he said something about they wouldn't be insisting on ........this  bit I don't remember too well ......either ownership  or taking some sort of exam until 2020  :C         

I remember thinking I will have probably stopped work  by then .

I certainly won't be rushing out for my copy .     Again , £80 -- £90  for a book  , of which the content will be 90%  the same as  the BYB   and 80%  the same as the BRB . 

As  Kerch says , wait for the rip off mistakes and amendments  to be ironed out first.  

Shouldn’t we only pay for the new bits? Or perhaps we should get a return for returning the old copies, a little like the old r whites bottle return.  !!!

they would then chage every reg.  swap section numbers etc so they are all changed

They’ve only just used that excuse !

its happening again in amd1. the entire book will have a line on the right to mark that everything has changed

How about we all not buy it, form our own organisation and go back to the 14th edition?

Tray.... miles and miles of tray!

Although its published June (or is it July) 2018, isn't the implementation date Jan 2019. So all work can carry on as per 17th until the end of the year? May as well wait and get it as a Christmas present, if that's the case?
