Is this a disclaimer? If so, it's bloody hopeless!

Saw this today, first time I have seen one. I would love to know how well it would (n't!) hold up in court.

What was the socket test? Is there any other paperwork? Who exactly is the witness? Bloody bananas IMO!

Wonder what the scams will make of this ??

 

[NDG Elecs]

I know from experience that when getting the intake changed (for pme upgrades), asking what's the new external loop value is often met with disdain. Out of the last four when I have been onsite only one actually tested it and told me..

Don't know whether the scams will be that bothered, but this carppy little sticker seems to me to be some ill judged reaction to the bad press recently about meter monkeys.

You would need to check with a lawyer whether is is legal or not.

It is their polarity check

He would look a bit of a divvy if polarity was wrong though wouldn't he?

May be when she was younger Tel but they are twins.

This sticker testifies that Mr Squiggle saw "someone else" do "something" with a socket

WPN told me that the smart meter fitters write on the cables before disconnecting so they know which way to put them back in.

Reminds me of an old joke :
Landscapers turfing the garden area when the painters are in the house working. All the rooms ended up with green ceilings as the owner could be heard yelling from the garden "green on top" ... apologies to Landscapers and Painters

 

[telectrix]

haha. th one iheard was the carpets being laid upside down due to the builder shouting "green side up" to the turfers.

I believe it is the general principle in Tort that no damages can be "disclaimed" that causes damage to person or property. That sticker is relying on a non competent person signing off a non competent person effectively. Talk about the blind leading the blind!

 

[telectrix]

but can monkeys be prosecuted in court according to EU law? if not it just shows how them brussels bureacrats can get away with their actions

 

[FatAlan]

One wonders what was said to the house holder in order to get them to sign? Probably an attempt to get them to pay up for more work without actually detailing what the problem is and a last ditch scare tactic.

One of these will have been plugged in by the meter fitter as that's all they have been trained/are allowed to use.

Yet apparently its safe for them to be pulling cutout fuses but not us!

 

[Phil Thompson]

It's just to prove polarity after they do a meter change, due to the number of cases where they swapped the meter and the polarity
