    Stroma Certification Scheme Delay joining Stroma

    They wil be too disorganised to update their prices, but it should hopefully be on there by the time the 19th edition comes around.

    Stroma Certification Scheme Delay joining Stroma

    That isn't good at all. I left stroma as they were so disorganised, and they clearly haven't improved since.

    Can anyone beat £1.34 (inc VAT) for wago boxes?

    I'm sure I saw them for £1.33 including vat. I will spend a couple of hours searching tonight for the site I found them on.

    Blo*dy Builders!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I no longer do work for builders as they often wanted to pay below the going rate and were unreliable as the 1st and 2nd fixes weren't often ready when they said they would be, so other work turned down and then I'm cancelled by the builders at the last minute, so not worth the hassle.

    Annual emergency light test

    In all honesty that hadn't even occured to me (I think the lights have a 2 year warranty anyway). My point was more that I didn't want to tell the management company that it's a year since my last 3 hour emergency light test and would they like to pay me to do another one (which they wouldn't...

    Annual emergency light test

    I replaced the emergency lights in a small block of flats about 6 months ago, but the last time I did a 3 hour emergency light test was a year ago. Common sense says that I don't need to test the new emergency lights until they are a year old, but any clarification appreciated?

    EICR requirement prior to CU change?

    Thanks all and some good points made. So my question has been answered in that whilst an eicr is considered best practice and recommended prior to a CU replacement, it is not an actual requirement.

    EICR requirement prior to CU change?

    I agree that it's best to do an EICR before a CU replacement, but is there an actual regs that dictates that an EICR 'must' be conducted prior to a CU change?

    considering a career change

    Wasn't PACE a 1982 act that was introduced in 1984 (from memory - not google), so you must be old if you were in the job over 35 years ago.

    I'm more referring to proper tree surgeons as opposed to travellers who aren't

    considering a career change

    I don't think Lumberjacks 'leap' from tree to tree, so perhaps it's a good job you found another career path or you might have been very disappointed

    No wonder so many court cases are lost if the poor sod doing the collating has worked a 24 hour shft!

    considering a career change

    I know a few people that have left the met due to poor pay, crippling shift work and being over worked due to lack of staff. You used to be able to work 30 years for your pension and that has been increased to 40 years. Working 6 days a week and 14/15 hour days to make a good wage isn't...

    First NIC assessment

    No problem at all, and at only £8 a week (just 0.21p per hour) I think we should be assessed monthly just to be on the safe side as it's so easy to forget how to use a voltage indicator with a 12 month break.

    First NIC assessment

    I haven't personally heard of anyone not having a yearly assessment? We will still have to pay to be in a scam if we didn't have an annual assessment, but not as much. It's not just a day off work, but the hassle that goes with it, and also finding a domestic customer who is going to be in on...

    First NIC assessment

    I did work for a surgeon who was a really nice guy, and he was surprised that we had to have a full assessment ever 12 months regardless of whether or not we've had complaints, made mistakes etc. He opens people up and isn't assessed so frequently as we are. I would be interested to know how...

    CEF offering calibration for £35 + VAT.

    I just called cef and they said it was £74 for my mfm to be calibrated. I said that I heard that it was £35 and he said that's only on calibration days (he didn't know when the next one was). Thought it was to good to be true that cef were cheap for something!

    CEF offering calibration for £35 + VAT.

    Thanks for the info and I will try them as my mfm needs calibration. I rarely use CEF because they are usually far more expensive than everywhere else.
