How can wiring a plug be illegal or obsolete?

Everyone knows this don't they?
"All new electrical work within a domestic setting must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales introduced on 1 January 2005, which are legally enforceable. One way of achieving this is to apply British Standard BS7671...Although it must be stated that the British Standard BS 7671 (the "Wiring Regulations") are not statutory thus someone doing electrical work is allowed to deviate from the wiring regulations to some degree but it is generally accepted that it is best to follow the wiring regulations to the highest standard possible.

Some of the restrictions introduced with Part P were controversial, especially the rules surrounding work carried out by unregistered people such as DIYers. Under the new regulations, commencement of any work other than simple changes becomes notifiable to the local building control authority; "other than simple" in this context means any work in a kitchen or bathroom other than like-for-like replacement."

I'm worried that I might have to pay you as a lawyer, for that answer.
Also, everything has moulded plugs, nowadays.

OK. So what you are saying is that you are massively dull and your mother is a munter.
But what does that have to do with wiring a fucking plug, you dreary sack of fucking tediousness?
