    How to get into the trade whilst re-training

    Hi, I’m an adult learner, just completed my level 2 and 18th edition. How do you get into the trade? Every mate/improver job I see you need experience, own tools etc. It feels like no one is willing to give you a chance or even respond to you.

    Leaving a puppy in van whilst you work?

    Evening all. I have just got a puppy labrador, he's 10 weeks old and I've taken a week off to spend a bit of time with him, but I need to get back to work. The idea is for him to come out in the van with me and I just wondered if anyone else does this and if they have any problems? Cheers guys.

    Whilst we're on the subject of bonding...

    We all know that if something is extraneous then it needs to be bonded. However, if we have some water pipes in a bathroom for example that test at 0.2Ω to earth (MET) would you be happy with that? Let's assume it has RCD protection. I realise some say that if the extraneous tests at <1667Ω then...

    sockets near a gas hob

    Hi all, hope all are well. Went to a job today and noticed that they had a socket less than 300mm away from the edge of the hob, I would say more like 150-100mm away. Told them that this wasnt correct and should be moved but obviously they didnt want this as would mess the kitchen up. They said...
