If I did not have to buy so many British Standards and up dates I could nearly single handedly end the recession in this country.

Why is it that BS7671 is about half the price of  BS5839-1 and BS7671 has hundreds of pages and a proper cover etc.

I know its not because they pay people on the technical committees any money (unless theres a secret claim form I dont know about), because as far as I see all the BSI supply is a room, tea & coffee and a few biscuits.
I refuse to have a battle of wittts with an unarmed person.
