    Sometimes you think ..............

    I've actually bought C50s from here before. Wonder if they have any Dorman Smith RCBO modules? Not so cheap upgrade for that board @Evans Electric ?😂 https://www.reconelectrical.co.uk/reconditioned-circuit-breakers.html

    Sometimes you think ..............

    Makes me glad I've got a Crabtree C50 board in the place I live in..... Concessions to safety/convenience being an upfront RCD and REC2. Not so convenient when something trips! 😂 I am intending moving and replacing the board. Been saying that for 18 years!

    Tony S

    Almost a year to the day he emailed me his cumulative volt drop spreadsheet. Free with his knowledge to the end! Had another pm from I can't make head nor tail of now, something about did I get a ring and half crowns! 😂 No idea then from memory and now I'll never know. I sense he had a good...

    And now for the latest scam!

    Got a rebate from Admiral too.

    Just found some of my old school reports from the early 70s

    A grammar school education was well and truly wasted on me.

    So the stuff of Sci-fi past in the present?

    So these palm scanners, will there be Amazon emblazoned, Gypsy tents springing up everywhere to house them? Will it also read my future, tell me how many kids I'm going to have and that I'll soon meet a tall, dark, handsome stranger?

    You sure? Even the tv I've just bought from Aldi has 4 HDMI ports! They're not always clumped together in the same place btw.

    Joining a part p scheme

    80% required to pass isn't it rather than 60%? I can't help feeling it's all just a money making scam. I felt the 18th was deliberately harder than the 17th. The questions imo were worded to catch people out not teach. I got 98 something % on the 17th but only 93 on the 18th.

    EICR's (again) daft information on the interweb

    Like the Hitachi Magic Wand?

    Joining a part p scheme

    Same quals here mate plus the EAL Part P one. The 2330 is universally looked down upon for some reason. I was gutted when after 3 years of night school the college then mentioned going onto do the 235* whatever. Mind we had Tony Cable in giving us the NICEIC spiel the minute we'd finished L3...

    C&G 2330 / Test & Inspection

    I had the opportunity of the 10/12 week evening course run by Jon Elliot I think it was. Name was/is in the front of the regs. Too damn expensive at the time.

    C&G 2330 / Test & Inspection

    My then c*** of a governor was particularly dismissive of training and anyone bettering themselves. His theory was if he supported/paid for training he'd lose staff once they had bettered themselves. As an apprenticed mechanical and production engineer my industry ended up going more and more...

    Is this even option....shoot me if not

    Had my EICR done yesterday by the letting agent's favoured sparks (NICEIC AC). Didn't know him from Adam. Seemed over the Moon when the wife spoke to him that I'd left the previous EICR in a pocket next to the cu. I went through everything beforehand mind. Satisfactory with just a C3 ref the...

    C&G 2330 / Test & Inspection

    I could have done the 2391 for £450. Should have, could have. Job was on the line at the time and money was tight. Never mind.

    Would you have chosen another trade in hindsight?

    I was talking to a mate who was doing the 2391 last week. Said he'd been "all day testing".

    Is this even option....shoot me if not

    Not knocking you at all. Kudos to you and all that. You'd love me, I've just paid BEFORE the EICR's been done on a let! 😂  Just had the letting agent arrange it. Being done possibly "after 4pm today" or tomorrow.  Please don't think all landlords are minted btw. Do it by the book then get a...
