Hi Martin
Well because you want to pat the dog first to test it is not dangerous, once the pat test is past then you can proceed to scratch behind it’s ear 🙄
sorry 😳
I have no idea what you are talking about :lol1:

Warren neither have I :lol1: :lol1:
Just that I was doing a van for an electrician which is why it crossed my mind.PAT is portable appliance testing so that would make PAT Testing portable appliance testing testing which doesn’t make a lot of sense :lol1:

I reckon the guy who invented PAT testing used to be a roadie and was used to saying "testing testing" all the time – He wanted to call it PAT testing 1,2 3 but decided it was too long and cumbersome 😕
