Hi all heard on the news this morning that the corgi standard for gas fitters is no longer valid on 1st April this year and is being replaced by something called the gas safe register. Now apparently this is being done to raise awareness of gas safety issues and has come from the HSE

.

Am i the only one that thinks this is completely stupid given that corgi is now fully established and more or less has public confidence and that by changing the system and NOT making it very well known amongst the public is just well stupid.

This is another thing that to me screams "we have to be seen to be doing something" and is change for changes sake rather then something that is high on the list of broken things to fix in this country.
