Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

Do you know what three question you got wrong?

Do you know what three question you got wrong?

No… just the sections that the questions are included in… and the sections aren’t of equal weight. Ie, number of questions from each of 8 sections are different.

Looks like I got 1 wrong in
“ how to assess the general characteristics of electrical installation”
“ understand requirements of protection for safety for electrical installations”
“ understand requirements of special installation or locations as identified in BS7671”

That last one…. I had one Q about bathroom zones… which if I got wrong, I’d chuck my tools away…. And 3 Qs about medical locations…. 3?!!

Boy George went to a pet shop and bought a hyperactive lizard.

He found it far too excitable…. So he took it back and got a calmer, calmer, calmer, calmer, calmer chameleon.

Wednesday night was the high school Christmas concert where youngest was tromboning in the band and a little background singing.

Basically a showcase of all the musical talent from the pupils, and what instruments the school teaches.

There were singers, piano, guitar.... the brass band.... and something they havent taught there since before covid....

Bagpipes.



For those of you have have never heard a bagpipe.... They are loud.... very loud.... and designed to be played outside.... Edinburgh Tattoo.... Lone piper on the castle at new year... things like that....

As a Scotsman, I actually like the noise.... but.....



Not in an enclosed school hall



"what could be worse than listening to bagpipes?" I might hear you ask.....

Well, i'll tell you


5 bagpipe players..... in a relatively small space..... and to top it off.... 5 bagpipe players that are still learning! and not playing very well

I swear i could see the pain on some of the choirs faces as their eardrums eventually gave in.

This may seem strange coming from a Welsh man but I would love to learn the bagpipes. I got as far as buying a set of children's pipes to practice on but they are too small. Maybe one day......
