I am in the process of planning a new outdoor workshop and I have discovered that Big Brother has been changing the rules about what you can do yourself in the way of electrical work.

What is the position elsewhere in the world? Doug J -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
