    I'm an Electrician, the rules here are going to change and we will have to tighten the screws in faceplates, switches etc to a minimum level. That set was £144 ($221) the makers know they have us over a barrel.

    No, it will be nationwide. We are up to 17th Amendment 3 at the moment, word was it was coming in 18th edition but that has been put back so we might have another amendment to 17. The single most common cause of house fires in the UK is loose electrical connections, I'm a bit surprised it's not in already tbh.
