[Andy Smith]

What sort of work do you prefer and why?

Commercial. Pays better. No silly Part P. Usually free food or beer afterwards

yeah in rosyth,joiners burners anything putting up basket etc,some subbys actually had a taxi driver who had ever been on a site doing it and paying one pound an hour less than a spark

It seems to me that's par for the course with marine work - on my last marine job there was a 20 year old yacht fitter/Electrical Trainee with no experience on the same money as sparks, the boss (total idiot, didn't have a scooby) had his next door neighbour (previously a windscreen fitter) working as a mate on £2/hr less than sparks.
Marine work seems to be all about doing what the boss says because he says so and he's the boss, and nothing to do with common sense, regs or knowing how to do your job.

That’s the one. The auto bumping is still happening.

There’s a two hour discrepancy at the moment. I suppose it’s a bit better than the original 5 years.

The Navy will have nothing but trouble with those carriers,and I can see then going back into dry dock for a long time to fix everything after the first few sea trials.

Though i was brought up in the industrial sector, i voted ''commercial'' only because that's basically the area i've been working in for god knows how long now. But i'd be just as happy being in a cleanish industrial environment. Though i don't mind getting dirty, even today, i don't think i'd want to be working in say the steel industry, that Tony has spent most of his working life in...

Though it would be interesting to spend a couple of weeks to a couple of months to experience this sector of our industry....

I’ve only worked in what may be regarded as a clean environment twice. Hated every minute of it.

How strange, according to the section page I made this post 7 minutes ago.
