Mmhmmm Me too... ever repaired one? :coat

Not very surprised to hear. I actually worked for SP's contracts devision a good number of years ago and their guys all seemed awright. I would assume they had various procedures for moving up through the grades where if you worked as a labourer for ten years assisting on electrical work then...

The company I served my time with (late 80's/early 90's) used them on a couple of jobs, they always been banned??

Used those push-fits with a former employer and have never used them since! Doddle to work with till you lose a snake into a cavity somewhere! Anyway, cannae beat a bit of conduit screwin' in my book. Don't do many tubing jobs but been using my bender (which is probably nearly as old as me)...

You're right Deke. Not really had probs with any of them in the past (other than attitude probs, as above!) most of them are usually OK but this guy was either a very good interview conman or straight out the adult learning centre... he should not have been working alone.

Good to know Deke. Had an awright week last week, pullin teeth this week. I feel as if I am ticking over but far from busy and most of the guys (plasterers, painters, joiners, builders) I know are really struggling. You're not the only one! Better end soon or I'll be out with the fliers again!

Not me but I have had a few. My pals Dad (this guy has had a few belters by the way) decided he wanted an outside tap. Went to B&Q (*&
