[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 474556, member: 1408"] Theres definitely a case for that . May have been late '60s early '70s ... many of us apprentice intake had come onto the tools , big firm but now has too many sparks so it was time to move on . Met up with one of the guys who'd gone to a large ,local, house bashing & high rise merchants . Its a huge, new build , overspill housing project , their regular sparks were working piece rate , 1st fix / 2nd fix . Earning a fortune compared to the average sparks JIB wage ...all driving brand new motors .etc. He was on day rate doing remedial works , every house had faults like 2 ways not working , section missing from rings , doorbells not working , loose connections , not wired , neutrals missing , KO boxes loose, polarity wrong , cables nailed , cut , missing , melted by gas guns , boiler controls not correct , not working etc etc . Those guys were paid top money to nail in the first fix so other trades could sweep through without delay . [/QUOTE]
