I've got a customer who is scared of losing hot water with an unreliable combi boiler. His solution is to install an electric shower in his shower cubicle along with his snazzy bespoke shower - and as I'd have to trunk the cable to it due to flat roof and laminate I think it would look awful...

Would be good to catch up! Hope you enjoy the gig!!!

I've been in bands with some Cornish drummers - and I'm sure they were in bred!

Was he the drummer in Bread?

Doesn't always work like that. In the last couple of years I've seen Caravan, Focus and The Blockheads who were all Brilliant. Black Sabbath at download was a bit pathetic in my opinion however!

Hi Sidey - jut got Steven Wilson ticket at Wolverhampton in May. Don't get any better prog than that!

Interesting! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10201691856616567

But surely a customer should be able to verify that you are  installing to the standard that you quote without having to buy the standard at vast cost. "I install to BS7671" - but you can't find out what that really means without spending more than the cost of the job! Meaningless drivel in my...

My problem - it's a British Standard - so why isn't it available to anyone in Britain free of charge? How can a customer check up that what we do is correct otherwise? If any free thinking individual comes up with a discount e-bay download to print out I will be on it!!! Resent this exclusive...

It's an absolute farce. The amount of information building control receive from the scam providers tells them noting of any value and I suspect it goes straight in the bin. I'd be more concerned on the safety aspect -correct cable, RCD, insulation and earthing and earthing/bonding arrangement...

Huge respect for using Swindon Massive - great revision tool! You are so far ahead of most because you are pushing yourself!!! As long as you review and get the understanding behind the answers you're give rather than learning the correct response to the multiple choice you will become a damn...

Like a lot of large companies working to a budget there is a timescale to solve problems. To have a Mr Electric franchise just required someone to invest 27k without any electrical knowledge or experience. Management pressure without knowledge of the job or capabilities of their employees...

Mr Electric is a franchise and each one is different. My lot were pretty good generally and I learnt a lot on the job as at the time they were doing all the Home serve insurance callouts. There was always pressure to get sales off the back of the fallouts though which I didn't like and the...

When I was employed by Mr Electric I was thrown in the deep end with a star delta starter for a compressor. Took a lot of on line research to get the thing working as it had never been installed properly in the first place. Scary Job as I'd hadn't looked at 3 phase for 30 years and things had...

I prefer knowing the price of what I'm buying - and some wholesaler will charge what they think they can get away with. Denmans has been great for me - you know what it costs and the own brand stuff is very good.

Like a lot of people on here I've done things back to front. At 57 I'm on my tools but have come from a design engineer background and have been through ONC, HNC, Degree and Teacher Training before becoming a self employed electrician. I love my job! For many years I enjoyed my time as a design...

Misunderstood - I agreed with your Modfather post so couldn't see where the 150k came in. The domestic sector is a bit special - so much advertising doesn't seem to work. I found some of the ideas in those videos very refreshing!

Sidey - when Modfather posted recently you were saying how the domestic market was ruined and gave details of how 16.5k was a more realistic expectation. Now you're saying 150k is attainable. So which is it? Full credit to you guys - you've done something right and found the right marketing...

This bloke has produced some free marketing videos - and they're damn good! Well worth a look ! Not young or hungry enough to buy into everything. Please have a look - would have saved me a lot of angst while I was setting up!
