just a quick one

[GLENNSPARK]

hi, i`m an electrician....
i have just completed a month course at the building skills for life initiative centre near where i live. I have just got my 17th through them and have been credited with the BSL certificate of competancy award. Does this mean i can now go round doing houses as this is what i was told by the centre. I have heard something about part P but i am not sure as they did not mention that i needed this qualification. Is this true? if i needed to be part P qualified then i may have been better just doing that rather than go through all that months studies.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I think he means cash is King mate, you can avoid doing any paperwork by doing all your business in cash, this way you can still claim various benefits as well!

It always worked that way for me.

well it sounds like a job for an engineer does that...
well thats what i was always told anyway

Nah!! ............ Engineers are blokes who fit the string handles to brown paper carrier bags.

Quite right bonny lad ............ you stick to the electricery & I'll play with the gas.

I've not forgotten your attempt at burning-down your kitchen.

talking about "engineers", we have a contract with BG (oh, no, don't say it), for drains, work done of course by dyno-rod, who are owned by BG. drain was blocked absolutely chokka, sh** pushing on the bottom of the manhole cover. to be fair, the poo pusher came out on time and spent a good hour and a half rodding and flushing it all away. job was done well, i have to say. next day, however, i get a text from BG, asking me to complete a quick survey on " my experience with the drains engineer". gordon bennet. next thing will be the binmen being called waste disposal engineers.

^^^^^^
had one on the rig last trip,he felt he had to put "commissioning engineer" in big writing on his hard hat!!!

Turned out he was a forklift driver in his last place and stumbled into the job,no qualifications etc.

he was only there to check a list of things written down on a pre-printed sheet.

He then asked for 150 earth bosses to be welded on to stainless steel as its "part of the commissioning process".

you can imagine the reaction to that!!!

hope you fiited an appropriate sticker to his numpty hat.... " no nothing jobsworth pratt"

Im just waiting for the day too see an advertisment from tesco for a 'shelf stacking engineer'

Love how people don't understand the definition of engineer.

Fill out the survery tel, and in your own words: 'poo pusher' - scribble out the word engineer and replace it with that fine piece of poetry. Lol, poo-pusher.

How many times have we been classed as CDE - Cable Destination Engineers. Or T1Ts - Testing & Inspection Technicians
