    very tentative about asking this.

    Hi all, Ok let me get my concerns out of the way first… Every time I see someone ask for advice, especially when they are an ‘outsider’ so to speak, people seem to take great pleasure in shooting them down, telling them what they can’t do or not giving helpful advice in any shape of form. In...

    Career Change

    Hi all, I am about to embark on distance learning whilst working my current full time job. Supposedly taking 2 years to complete to 'fully qualified'. At a cost of 10% of potential earnings. Which they say is £7,000. Is this a fair reflection? Is there still a shortage of electricians? Cheers.
