Well Tidyboiler is often in the shops - Tesco, Saisburys, Morrisons, ASDA ... all of them in fact, but always gets "asked to leave" but not before she has the shop looking like a whole Panzer Division has driven through it.

that'll be a code 5 then?lol

I'm sick of questions asking who's sick of questions

Ha! thought it was going to be some kind of Geordie wine. Sounds good, is she taking bookings?

Yes she is Rog..................... take no notice of Geordie Spark.......... cheques made payable to Tidyboiler's Bordello.com. I'm very professional!!!!!

Throw a Geordie kiss in for free Tidy and it's a deal.
Don't know what he'd be like on 50 Quids worth of wine.

Obviously written by a bloke who has absolutely no idea about the finer points of the Geordie Kiss. Just for that we'll throw in an extra one free. Compliments of the house. :wink_smile:

I'm thankful it's been about 3 days since I've seen a thread bemoaning the Electrical Trainee's, but hey, the night is still young and there's plenty of time

Surely a coat hanger from the cupboard would be cheaper?

On a more thread orientated note, I have had to do a distance course as nobody would take me on for an apprenticeship or give me the time of day - even for free labour. Well, one person did but I didn't go back after his initial testing involved a functional test prior to continuity and no IR test as 'it's a new install'.
Anyway. I have had to do this course to try give me the best start to get a job. I'm about to do my 2394 written and have achieved regs, 2377, level 2 2330 and level 3 2365. I've had 2 years with a PV company, technically sound guys and gave me some design, installation and testing but hasn't given me any 'real' experience. I have been applying for jobs of all positions and noone seems to want to take me on, most of the reasons have been that I don't have enough relevant experience.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that these courses offer an opportunity to get quals to then give a chance of a job, I haven't found this and I suppose it puts people in a position where they have to start doing things on their own and do not know what to do when they come accross real-life situations and have to post on here to have a chance at rectifying the issue(s). I fully accept I have had not had enough practical experience to know what to do in every situation!

In my opinion the way to prevent this 'clownism' is possibly a more practical route with placements, though I appreciate how hard it is to take someone on that would potentially slow your work rate right down! I suppose suggestions from the more learned and available 'employers' on how to prevent it, rather than moaning about it, could provide a decent outcome?

Any ideas?
