Customer wanting an EICR on a 4 bedroom house he's thinking of buying. How much he asks - I quote my day rate of £225
I hear a sharp intake of breath - he was obviously thinking of a smaller number.

What does he expect??
Pretty good ideas, I don't like the 16 year olds being allowed to vote myself, I did like the more GPs and Nurses bit. Overall pretty okay, but lets face it, Ed is no prime minister, as a labour man I pull my hair out evertime he starts to talk, that said if he keeps his promise to up hold the 6...
So I was following a van to work today which said 'British Gas Approved Builder'

Has Alec Salmond today scored a MASSIVE own goal this morning, by claiming next weeks vote for the Scots, is going to be like the first vote South Africa had after the end of Aparthide.
All I can say to Alec Salmond - got back under the stone you crawled out from you ARROGANT WXNKER.

A couple of months ago I started a thread about dedicating 1 day a week to staying home and doing paperwork.
Just to let you know it didn't go to plan, so now I have been forced to take today off to complete a mountain of certs, online payments, and general catch up.
So I shouldn't really be...

Got asked to go sort a few cables out ready to for terminating. Bit of containment work. Turns out the pit under the switchboard was made to small so trying to get all these cables in order so they enter the board correctly is a nightmare. Around 40 Cables ranging from 240mm to 400mm.. Hope...
We had noticed that our supply was going to be switched to a generator today. Indeed it happened - this is now installed at the bottom of the street. Can you guess what time it was attached? SolarEdge inverter seems happy enough, although it hasn't been very sunny today.
Working on a US military base at the moment. Running new circuits and tray under a load of demountables. Only enough space to crawl around and I just glance up and see this fella looking at me... I don't think iv ever crawled so quick. It's a huntsman if anyone is interested .
I thought I'd go on line today
