your fellow installer

Just a thought. As a fully qualified spark, how do you feel about the DI ? I like everyone to make a living and all, but hell! I just ain't got no love for em.

Can someone give me a definition of a domestic installer.

A Domestic Installer is someone who knows how to install, test and maintain a pre-designed range of circuits appropriate to a domestic property.

An Electrician is someone who understands how to design, install, test and maintain an electrical installation.

Well. Where do I start???

Actually, I don't.

I'll scuttle back under me stone and hope for a quick release.

Correct. Electrics by numbers. "Brown wire goes here, blue wire goes here. Why? Don't worry about why."

There's no point getting on your high horse thinking time served sparks deserve all the work. Domestic installers and short sparky courses are here to stay for now so, best advice is to shut and put up.

Why the hell should the time served QUALIFIED electrician ''Shut-up and Put-up??
He has every right to make his feelings known, when he see's a Tesco shelve filler, taking his professional work from him, after completing a 17 day course!!!

If anything it should be you, to shut and put up, when the real world truth of the matter is being aired!!!

Someone who puts a 'Lady what does' in one's home?

What is the point of this post other than to insult fellow electricians?

Im DI but didnt do a 17 day course I did a 3 year one, why is there a complete lack of respect with a time served DI here?

Would you describe yourself as a 'Domestic Installer' or a 'Domestic Electrician'?
To me a 'time served DI' is a misnomer, similar to someone describing them self as a 'fully qualified mate' or 'fully qualified trainee'.

most of my work is domestic , ive done industrial commercial , majority now is domestic , really its like some one learning to drive one person does 6 months of driving lessons and passes the other does 6 days and passes , who is more aware we all know that , but eventually the quick course guys and girls will get there eventually , some will be great others will be diabolical , the only way to make it fare is to abandon the quick fix courses and go back to teaching pyro that'll fox them , really for pinching the work you need to watch the adverts on TV and ask your self how many plumbers , electricians , do you see advertising on TV , well BG are and can screw every trade in one foul swoop that's where you should be worried

Yeah well, ..The truth is the truth, no matter what name you want to call it!!

Worried? Not from what I've seen of their electrical work! If anything they are generating work for people who have to rectify the over-priced bodges their shaved monkeys perform.

 

[dim_bulb]

I completely agree with nickblake I think your spot on. Especially the BG part.
I feel I have done the correct, legal and safe route of training and your sticking two fingers up at me. why?
