And I was right, well right ish. I have a memory like a steel trap Kate, a broken steel trap but none the less....

My memory these days is similar - except I spell "trap" with a "c" as the first letter.

I actually live smack back in between bristol and Glos in a little village! My address is in Gloucestershire. I also part time live in Bristol city centre. All depends where my work is. I get to cover two areas without a massive commute woohoo! I do feel a little privileged that you remembered!

ESUBMARINE...
my opinion on this...If you know your current sparky well why dont you ask if you can shadow him on every job you have together, get him to teach you up slowly. Your already at the job anyway it will just take up a chunk of your time. Then do the clearly hated 'Electrical Trainee' course. You may have had a bashing on here but its cause its all of our livelyhoods, and it is dangerous work. We are all just trying to say dont bite off more than you can chew it could be fatal!!

Its either that or a 3-4 year course

Hell no, read the little bit that amazon allow you to and you'll see that it's written by an idiot. Only buy it if you have absolutely nothing better to do with your cash and fancy a laugh

Kate it's self published, what does that tell you? Read the reviews of it they're probably as funny as the book its self
