+1 excellent post and thread. This is what the forum is about, good, honest non Mickey taking answers. As said, the way the question was asked and then showing your own knowledge and workings get you the respect of the others to get the answers. The good part is that the correct answer was...

Do you mean for the lads you have working for you? Sorry misunderstood!! The thing that always amazes me is that people will pay £45 and hour for a grease monkey to fix their cars or silly money to hairdressers but no one wants to pay a tradesman a fair rate! Suppose it would be nice to be in...

Time and a half after 7.5 hours per day, 1.5 for first 6 hours on a Saturday then double after and all day Sunday. 1.33 for first 7.5 hours on nights and 1.5 after. All travel time paid for aswell. Why work extra and ruin personal life at weekends for flat rate. May aswell stack beans...

We are fitting VO to all morrisons supermarkets and VUE cinema's at the moment!

Another little beauty is the old bulb!!! I thought they grew in the ground haha I understand a lot of things are habit, Just having a late rant lastnight!!! I apologise Problem is these days it's not just the phrase using qualifications or apprenticeship that are wrong but anything to do with...

Don't worry msb you'll get used to the constant tongue lashing on here if you do not use 100% correct wording and terminology of the regs and justify everything you say yo within an inch of your life! Ask a question if you dare!!! Very knowledgable people on here and are very quick to ram...

It's to feed a sub panel which I presume only has sockets from it!

Rullion and Options used to have masses of work when I did a stint with agencies

This is the world of the perfect electrician sometimes!!! I would actually love to see a lot of your lots work! Bet some of you only use fold conductors!! Are you telling me you actually tighten swa locknuts to the recommended torque? You manage to get a torque wrench onto the locknut of a...

Tripe

Haha yeah I've not fallen off a pair of steps or ladders yet and I've spent a lot of time on them!! It's all just about ar*e covering by the main contractors in case of a claim. That's the main reason there banned. I've always said H+S is more common sense than anything. I would say a...

Haha deke the only good thing is that doing work for commercial properties and supermarkets they can't complain when I do the job that way as they also sign all the method statements. I've just competed a refit in a morrisons pfs and no steps were allowed on site. Had to use a push around pop...

Sidewinder it's all down to individual risk assessment and method statements am who is the main contractor on sites. Suppose if your just twin and earth bashing on your own you can do what you want but I'm sure after an accident, if there's a claim or HSE gets involved and your not working to...

Ladders are for access only. Surly risk assessment and method statement clearly states this. Not many sites even allow steps now. Podiums are to be used even of working a foot of the ground. Health and safety gone mad. Makes me laugh though, when it gets towards the end of the job and people...

Total wind up this! I'm not even going to bother saying anything! Go spam somewhere else!!!

Advice - go to your local collage and enroll on the C & G course! Whatever number it is this week. Couple if evenings a week, learn the basic principals of our trade, get an understanding of how and why invisible stuff can kill and how it works. As to how you gain practical work experience...

Your actually asking what tools you require? Sorry mate but on your hard hat and wait!!!!!!

^ +1 Please don't do anything you have suggested in your OP

So let me get this right, you do a PA testing course, regs and initial verification in 18 months???? After this weeks training is complete what do they teach you the rest if the time? Do they say you can get a job as an electrician after this? No company would employ you as a spark I wouldn't...

Haha nailed!!!!!
