[BITList] Something to chew over

[franka]

Hugh,
I seem to remember that what the UK calls an electrician nowadays is 
what we used to call semi skilled and they just get a 6 week training 
course and the proper electricians are called electrical techs and have 
to have their C&Gs or ONC much the same as before except its only a 3 
year course,  in oz doctors, plumbers and electricians have to be 
licensed though I think south Australia has different rules
