Hello there Yes I am an Electrician albeit an old one.

 

[ian.settle1]

Been in the industry since my apprenticeship in 1961, knackered now, glad to be passing on the baton to you worthy guys, wishing the best to all, I look forward to following your experiences with interest during my retirement. After over 53 years I hope you will still count me in as for "Electricians only"

Sorry NO, you have failed the exam like a few others, you did not say hello (or a foreign version of hello) even though the question was dumbed down.

Only joking of cause you can.

Please post a hello in this thread if you are really an electrician,I mean a real Electrican, just wondering how many we actually have here, I will start==========Hello

Don't suppose this post was started soon after another one was closed by Marvo? From Oxford Dictionary. Electrician; , A person who installs and maintains electrical equipment. So Hello from me there. Real Electrician; no results. Real; lots of uses but as an adjective, Actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed. My Misses says I'm always imagining things, so I better say goodbye!:stooge_curly:

Hello, I've been doing this since 1974 and consider myself old school where common sense and safety prevail. I still draw circuits out on paper if I'm not sure about something. I still call Earth Sleeving Green Sleeving and MICC is still Pyro. I live on the Jurrassic Coast and am fossilising rapidly.

I used to be an Electrician but by modern standards I'm now over qualified... I mean look at the AM2 now the hardest parts of it have been removed like the conduit bending etc.... this was key to proofing your worth as the actual pipe you were given was about 20mm excess in length so no room for error really!

 

[jimmymac]

Hi all, I'm NOT an electrician anymore and never want to be again! Stick it!

Real electrician ? - I don't have a jib card (whatever that is) and NVQs had not been invented when I started out in 1979, so I guess I am not by todays standards, lol.... thought of getting todays tickets but after sitting 2391 and 17th, thought whats the point, these are a piece of pi55
