    Big Green Book

    He has said that it isn't a scanned copy so at £3.70 it has to be worth a punt lol

    Big Green Book

    Ok, found someone on Fleabay who is knocking out .pdf versions of the Regs for peanuts. Any views on if the assessor will accept the regs on my phone? They are happy to see the EAWR in electronic format so I can't see why not. Also, many publishers of 'academic' books are turning to 'e-books' to...

    Van Insurance And Young Electricians ('i'm Not An Apprentice Anymore' He Keeps Telling Me!)

    I use A Plan and find them much cheaper than comparison sites as they looked at all the variables and made suggestions based on them. For instance, today I bought another van for the company - a 55 plate Transit. He advised me to put my wife on the policy (even though she isn't an employee) and...

    Oh don't be silly. My business model actually is pretty good thanks, been going a few years, have a few guys work for me and turn in a decent profit - not that I have to explain myself to anyone lol. Thing is, I am tight and probably use the regs book once a year (&OSG) and the frequency the...

    Mine came forward over the last 4 years - until now and it is 8 weeks late (not that I am complaining). Biggest waste of the assessors and my time anyhow!

    Big Green Book

    No, weren't needed last assessment as my usual assessment date is Dec so last assessment was Dec 2011 and the update wasn't in force until Jan. For some reason my assessment is a few weeks late this year but now I need the various bits and pieces and don't fancy buying to have it sit in the van...

    Big Green Book

    Got my Niccy re-assessment in a couple of weeks and realise that I need a copy of the big green book. Anyone have one to sell cheap or know where I might get one at a sensible price and not the kind of money jokers on Fleabay are asking. Also, anyone know if I need the accompanying OSG for the...

    The Usual Topic Of "how Busy Are You ?"

    I am absolutely flat out - booked up until February now. Got a couple of hotels who are throwing work at us so enough work to keep 4 of us busy. Started turning some smaller work down which makes me angry as I hate turning work away!  Long may it continue!

    Emergency services scam

    These guys seem to be cropping up again. Had 3 calls from scousers all offering the same thing - for a payment I can have my details in a publication that will go out to 40K households on behalf of the Police! He said that they were doing their bit to promote legitimate trades as there had been...

    What Software

    I have used Pirform for 3 years and you require a license for every machine / user. It is very good software and cheap (£75 a year iirc).

    Electricians tools

    Never use a neon driver - and neither do any other sparks I know. In fact the only people I know who do use them are 'maintenance men' or DIY'ers! Says it all really lol

    After new business? Be careful!

    As will soon become more apparent, I have spent some time away from the forum setting up a new business. Anyway, this afternoon I had an interesting discussion with the DMA (direct marketing association) regarding making outbound business to business calls. It seems it is, and has been for many...

    Important Message from Admin and Admin 2...

    I would just like to echo the words of others. This forum offered me a sanctuary when I quit as a mod on another 'forum' which shall remain nameless. Whilst not here as much as would like these days due to work commitments, the nice thing about this forum is that you feel like you have never...

    Growth on my dogs leg, any ideas???

    I have three dogs (1 choc lab) and we find living out in the country the dogs regularly get ticks. We used to try all things, coating them in butter to stop the ticks breathing, heat etc etc but nothing works anywhere near as well as a tick remover which I bought off fleabay for a couple of...
