Get your tools out Tom, from boilerguide.co.uk......It's not technically illegal to carry out DIY gas work in your own home* as long as you are 'competent' to do so, but the consequences of doing so without the necessary skills are hugely dangerous. Working with gas is a complex and dangerous task that requires extensive training, knowledge and experience. And, if the worst should happen and your work results in something like an explosion or gas leak, you could face criminal charges.

*It is illegal for someone to carry out gas work and be paid for their services if they are not a Gas Safe registered engineer.........So dont pay yourself

Even worse if he expects an electrical engineer to maul with it.

Apart from not being funny, have a bit of respect for those who were less fortunate than people of today!

Now then Tom, don't be so soft! You can manage a couple of days without the luxury of central heating. Do what I do and wear extra layers.

More seriously though, part of your comment on 15 October was trying to goad certain others (who I believe are on ignore) into disrespectful responses, none of whom did or have, so be a good lad and don't invite trouble.
