Hi Dan,i'm sure i posted this earlier.A lot of people on the forum can't gain access to the Sparky Pub,(a)they work for a company(b)they are at college doing their qualifications(c)a lot of people are looking for a change of career and (d)sparks who have been out of the trade for a while and want to get back into it.

Hi Dan!

How about sorting the problem of City & Guilds qualifications NOT being recognised in Europe (I mean Spain France ect and Not England as England is not fully in Europe!!)

Indeed City & Guilds quals are NOT recognised in most parts of the world!

The 17th edtion being enforced on us all now has been introduced so I've heard to enable european sparky's to work in the UK Right? Well what about UK sparks working in Europe! i.e. Spain France Portugal?

I can tell you now! Cos I live in Spain!

UK sparks don't stand a chance in hell of getting a start with a european company!

Err! Am I just being racist or zenophobic or much worse! Or am I just being a moany old git?????

A great site keep up the good work!

Bad payers & how to deal with them would be good.

We seem to have lads posting on most Electrical Topics on the site anyway and maybe do need to put some into dedicated sections.
Personally I'd like to see something light hearted and have category dedicated to.

Jokes and Funny Stories

Does anyone regard any of our esteemed national organisations as bodies whose main aim is to perpetuate their own existence?

Hi Philospheer

Do I detect another very unhappy with his lot sparky?

I suspect like most of us sparky's you feel pretty ****ed about the low rate's of pay we recieve for the supposed "HIGHLY SKILLED" job that we do!

I just gave up and moved to Spain! Not for the work as that is very slow over here!! Just for a better quality of life!!!

Sparks in the UK will never be paid what they should be paid until they all demand a higher basic rate!
Not loads of hours!

This is not a thread for this type of discussion.

Please start a new one in the relevant forum.

Cheers.

Nikola who?

Hello all,

How about some lateral thinking on the topical topic of unity (or nearing) power generation/utilisation?

After all, we are Engineers and the providors of solution/s

Anyone needing a lead should search Mr. N Tesla

Installation practices peculiar to certain areas of the country or to particular local councils. It seems that standard specifications are different in different areas.

How about a review section? Where we can give our honest views on tools, materials & suppliers etc.

Hi Dan and others.

It would be nice to have a thread that deals with particular sparkie issues on installs of solar energy kit,
and a second chat thread to evoke people's ideas on renewable energies.

I don't want to drift OT - but there's a number needing work and new technologies needing workers !

Thanks.

Nice Forum format BTW. Somebody has done some work on this.
