Happy Christmas one and all. I just had a neighbour knock on my door. Flats in an old Victorian building with combi tanks in the frickin' loft. Flicka deswitch hopefully.Also Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Electricians Forums.![]()
I think 2025 should see some house building going on which will free up some of the domestic market as some move over to new builds etc. But there should be plenty of training grants too if you have family members wishing to get into the trade now would be a good time.
We're looking for experienced and well-aged sparks to join our mentorship scheme. There's a thread for that here:
Electricians Forums needs a few extra Electrician Mentors for our training courses area
Can you help? Electricians Forums needs a few extra Electrician Mentors for our training courses area. Need to be super experienced and qualified. It's an unpaid role (as all roles are here!) But you get a badge and are helping younger people (or career change people) to get into the trades...www.electriciansforums.net
So thanks to all the staff on all the forums, thanks to the members on behalf of all the staff.
And a massive thanks to Electrical2Go and all our other forum sponsors. Including www.uHeat.co.uk that sponsor all of our trade forums and blogs and have done since day 1. They get a special mention.
HAVE A GOOD SAFE ONE. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. HELP NEIGHBOURS WHERE YOU CAN. I still look after the 80 year old bloke who lives near my mother that I helped during covid. Just managed to get him use a tablet to order his shopping which saves me a trip or two a week ha. He's good karma points I think lol
Get better soonHope everybody had a good Xmas!
I crashed my car yesterday and in hospital still. Fractured 4 vertebrae, but not as bad as the one I did 12 years ago falling off a 30ft roof in Greece!
Also done rib no 6 and 12.
Punctured my only lung, my left one. Right was removed in 2023 after bullae emphysema were removed in 2022 after 4 goes of covid made them go weird.
So I'm alive and they don't want operate on anything so can't be that serious. Probably being let out tomorrow. Spent weeks in here in 2022 and 2023 and all the staff can remember me lol seem to be a memorable person.
