Beware

[green-hornet]

I like this forum and have used it many times.

however I will say be very careful if you wish to use some members based on their postings. I had some very good contracts and employed some forum members to carry out these works, one member was very efficient the other was nothing more than a fly by night who should be only left alone with any electrical installation under strict supervision .

GH, I wouldn't expect anything less, just like the contracting world theres people who excell in their job and people who do enough to get by or blag it.

I heard you had serious problems as a result of a certain member but nothing more, i would like to think i have done a good job for the members i have worked with and have found those i have met to be extremely good at their jobs and generally nice people. Again sorry to hear you had problems GH.

This is the problem some can talk the talk but cannot walk the walk.

 

[Andy™]

wonder if the person in question will admit to it...

did anyone else just see that pig flying past?

 

[binky]

highly unlikely

 

[kerching]

Sorry to hear that.

There are loads of people that can 'talk a good job'...that is why I never offer advice , or butt in on a conversation in the wholesalers etc. I just prefer to stand back, smile inwardly, and act thick. I am F good at all 3 of these skills, it comes with 35+ years of experience and practice. ...stay as numb as you can for as long as you can..... :coat

I've done even longer at acting thick Kerch, I think its finally sunk in .........I am thick !!!! Wet Fish:C

Also I keep quiet at Denman's counter now , there were two 19 yr old sparks ( New van,Sparky type tool vests etc) discussing a fault they had, lighting earth wire that gives a tingle, lights a neon which then fades out , lights a Voltstick etc . I suggested it was disconnected somewhere and the voltage was induced from the Twin/E . Just offering some advice .....they looked at me as if I was a Martian ...obviously no communicating skills with anyone over age 20 who wasn't constantly texting on his EyePlod ... turned and deaffed me out.

Another guy, much older , NIC, self employed , known each other for years at the counter , he says he's having to fit an RCD to the lights in a toilet, at a house (pre 17th) "Why is that" I say . "All that water " he says "You have to" "First I heard of that one " I say. "Well you need to brush up on the Regs then, and its an NIC rule " says he .

So now I do a Kercher !

 

[steptoe]

didnt you tell him ELECSA have different rules, they use the 7671....... :slap

 

[Evans Electric]

He does mostly industrial work , but thats no excuse really.

Another guy there , own firm , employs about 5 blokes , mentions the new EICR certs . I said I'd just issued two old PIRs as the new ones were not on the van but PIRs were . To me its not a big deal ...we'll all be dead one day and no one will give a $heet one way or the other .

He nearly lost control of his bowells , couldn't believe I'd done such a terrible thing , "You'll be in trouble" he said .

Oh Yeah ! Like from who ?? I don't get some guys . P'raps its me ? Probably is !!

 

[NozSpark]

I had someone trying to tell me that you HAD to TT caravan parks,,, couldn't even use TNS:O

The thing is he does loads of work on a local park and is seen by a few guys as a bit of an expert,,, he even tried to show me the reg in a RED onsite guide

 

[Steve3948]

Who is this "He" person then, or do I need to contact a PI
