Agree with the Guys Damien, you did a great Job fella, I watched the whole thing and what came across to me was the committee didn't like the schemes at all and they actually listened to the trade. We will have to wait and see what occurs now, They were not too pleased about the 2012 changes to part p either, that came across pretty bad and maybe third party certification may end at he very least who knows?

 

[Knobhead]

The committee’s dislike of the schemes came across loud and clear. Why I’m getting so het up about something that’s never concerned me I don’t know.

It’s the working electricians fight not really mine at all.

It was the same for me and all I did was to close down and restart the browser again.

 

[Deleted member 72666]

Oh, and by the way, well done Mr D! (or should that be Sir D?)

 

[Andy78]

Yeah restarted and still no joy. Anyway, I dont want to clog up the thread with techy talk.

When you restart the browser and call up the player just wait a few seconds and the video appears in the bottom right hand corner without pressing anything, hope it works for you too.

 

[Silly Sausage]

Have you installed Silverlight?

 

[Andy78]

Have you installed Silverlight?

Yes, it denied i had done so for 10 minutes even after restarting my browser and pc, but its working now.

Cheers guys

Because you have loved this industry your whole life, you just want newcomers to it (I'd happily refer to myself as a newcomer in comparison to time served oldies like you ) to be as skilled as possible. Like any reasonable human being, you just hate watching something you have respected your whole life get systematically ripped apart.

I totally get that.

I've had time to reflect on the screened session yesterday and on reflection I think the MP's actually did a good job too. So its looking like the sparks and the MP's are on the same side so the schemes are definitely under pressure!

On a slightly different subject how can the schemes justify allowing 1 QS sign off "any bodies" work in the company as compliant and at the same time charge the same amount as a diligent sole trader!

 

[MDJ]

I felt the woman on there actually played into our hands, she was appalling and her nodding head must have frustrated the MPs, she talked complete Crap and everyone there knew it lol

Emma Clancy, CEO of certsure, (NICEIC and elecsa), all she has managed to do is promote her pet project of "jobs for the girls", while ignoring real issues. Some CEO she is!. The schemes were blatantly trying to protect their income. Fair play to Skelton and co, the 4 of them did well, apart from Dr no who just talked nonsense.

 

[Octopus]

Does Emma Clancy know what a spark actually does?
