    Time to call it a day

    Op your 32a was too big a breaker/fuse always has been always will be. Best just put hands up and fess up to a B up rather than jacking it all in after 30 years. Secondly go and do your 17th there really is no need for you NOT to have done it. Your employer should pay for this if you are not...

    A Moral issue?

    Me too mate. It was reading the Alan Carr book that did it for me. Funny as for other things I have very little willpower. I just find the "logical" approach works for me in giving up and it also works in other areas of life too. As said smokers don't bother me, bothers me having to go outside...

    A Moral issue?

    Thinks sparks must be burnt out. For what its worth I stopped smoking well before the smoking ban. I have never and would never smoke in front of kids, Nor did I ever smoke in a restaurant, It's called manners and class. Without getting into --- for tat maybe you should apply some manners and...

    A Moral issue?

    I don't get all the anti smoking stuff myself. I think the outright ban ...stinks for want of a better word. What would have been wrong with smoking areas say completely shut off. With a good ventilation system in place staffed by smokers ect. Or even a 10 percent of establishments in any area...

    Electrician Jobs Rewire teams required, Glasgow. Top rates 225 per head. Electricians in Scotland.

    It is clearly £225 per house lol. A 3 bed in a day. Fair play. lol. Now IF we were to criticize this as a rip off and a joke then the op and the type of people who do this stuff will just come back with "You are all poor sparks, too slow, ect ect, show me your £1k per week" all of the above and...

    is this normal or are these cowboys?

    Having seen the pictures I concur it certainly is untidy...or as a tradesman would say rough. I would say there are a few things that we could probably point too as areas for attention. Nothing life threatening but I would be giving Napit a call if the electrician does not provide you with a...

    is this normal or are these cowboys?

    Two sides to every story and all that. I am not implying that the op is wrong in his/her assumptions that the work is in some way sub standard or incomplete. But I do here alarm bells when I see the "price" of the job mentioned several times along with gold plated ect ect. Rewires can often by...

    Faulty light, do I charge customer to replace

    I disagree sparksburnout....Your markup should cover your guarantee. I always try to avoid customers who want to supply their own stuff....I view these people with deep suspicion ha ha .....I suppose in the great ecosystem that means our target customers do not overlap lol. Seriously though if...

    German Market Lorry Incident

    For the more serious points raised I also agree with Darkwood. We did bring this on ourselves. Well our leaders did on our behalf most probably assisted by a whole bunch of different agencies with different vested interest. I really don't think we can deny what our involvement direct or...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme Failed Niceic

    Op sorry for your situation. As others have pointed you either have your knowledge and arguments ready if you feel the assessor is incorrect or do it by the book or better. Surely you could have taken them on a job that you did in the last few months that did not contain anything other than...

    I Need Work Looking for Electrician's Mate job in Kent!

    I know the south east a little better mate. Halsion Building Services from Canterbury are not too bad for taking young guys on. They do work all over kent/london so that may suit. I am NOT endorsing this company by the way, I just "know" they do take everything from adult trainees to mates and...

    How would you do it?? Two way on 12 lights, some dimmed, some not

    Hmm this really sounds like a job for smart lighting such as but not limited too phillips hue range. Then the customer can set up "scenes" and have a the touch of a button whatever scene he wishes. 18 cables "sounds" like a pretty poor wiring design for "sets" of lights. Even if each set was fed...

    Types of electrical work out there

    Jaydub having commented on your previous thread I would advise getting out there for a bit of variety after your apprenticeship is completed. You "may" find crawling through an attic becomes slightly easier when you take home £1000 per week rather than £1000 per month. If you want to explore...
