The Electric Police are onto me .

Did a  Rental EICR   a few months  ago  ......   Electric Police have contacted the landlord , they are not happy with the cert .      

I have a couple of pads of EICRs  which have the previous Code definitions printed ,  so I  wrote in the new definitions  . 

Electric Police not happy .  

Uh oh! Are they striking you off? Do they not realise that you a a rare breed, one of those that introduced the world to electricians? 

Just who is the "electric polis" in this case?

The  Landlord's Letting Agent .  

Oh of course they know all about the regs and requirements. Someone in the office has probably received a bullet point sheet from the manager and now feels empowered to challenge the professional! 

I just learned that they like  landlords to use THEIR    contractors   who according to the landlord are expensive  ,  while we are reasonable and they feel we can be trusted  .   Which is often a common  adjective  with us  n, I'm pleased to say .   

Oh the old brown envelope brigade. 

Didn't a PIR years ago in neighbouring town BUT a different council

They contacted NIC as they had never heard of me

quoted cert number and the dear old NIC said it was a stolen certificate from an AC in Newcastle

Tw@s had quoted the number and not the letters before it

i became, shall we say, terse

after a couple,of heated phone calls to both parties I received a written aplology from both

i then phoned them again and laid into them just for s and giggles 

They wouldn't have done that if Whatsername  was running the ship .

I'd probably kick the report back too if someone sent me it on forms 8 years out of date.

Just bought the latest Kewtech  certs  .

Exactly the same style  , only difference I see is the new definition of the Codes   :C     NO mention of the 18th ed.        Another £30 quid they've lifted off me.   And the pages are already dropping out .  

And the omission of a test results page ,  you have to buy another book with those in .  (See my post in Testing thread)
