More a whinge than a question, really. Son is off to uni soon, student accommodation (Scotland) and one of the requirements is PAT certification for anything over one year old. Phoned the office who confirmed sight of receipt required as proof of age of anything claimed to be less than a year old. Rule applies to anything that plugs into the wall, including mobile phone chargers. Is this usual, or OTT?
