I hope you don't mind me asking Man, (o), but I get the impression that you are in business as an electrician, is this correct? "Brothers Electrical Solution"??
 
sorry mates, I m not here to explore myself, unfortunately I couldn’t find solution for my problem.
Any way thanks to you all for your interest.
Thanks.......
 
Wonder what the customer is thinking?? The mind boggles, how have we got into this state? Electrical solutions, man alive.......
Sorry Mano alive. Makes you wonder for how long.
I don't understand it at all do they not understand it can be dangerous? I've read of people on this trying to install new circuits and everything in their house, my gas boiler isn't working at the minute but I havnt gone and started taking pipes apart in the hope I won't get killed

I don't know if you will agree with me SBO, but in answer to your valid question, personally I blame the influx of badly trained people who think they can change their career or start up a business as an Electrician after completing short intensive courses, or if you like the onset of the Part P fiasco, tin hat on.

I couldn't agree more Pete. Now, I am not saying that some people could not make a transition, or get trained up from another trade or role, if they have a degree of practical skills and the determination to progress down a proper path. And I know it is not easy, and there probably is a shortage of companies or people who would take on a more mature trainee, but with determination it can be done. My brother in law literally does not know which end of a screwdriver to hold and the thought of him doing one of these courses and then trying to pass himself off as an electrician makes my eyes water, but I am sure there are people like him who do it, you only have to look at some of the pathetic questions seen on here from time to time. How they manage to get through the day I don't know, I guess they just don't give a ----. At the end of the day what cheeses me off is the likes of this guy masquerading as an electrician and offering his services to unsuspecting customers when he patently does not have a clue what he is about. But unfortunately, this seems to be par for the course these days, the country seems to be full of and run by far too many people who really don't have much of a clue what they are doing. Oh well whats on telly tonight?

Agree Mate there are of course some very good trades people coming from the short course world, but unfortunately not that many, there has been a skill shortage emanating from the Thatcher era, I remember a boss of mine saying something along the lines of if they don't start recruiting apprentices in all construction trades there will be a serious skill shortage, how right he was.

Yep. When we finally get round to building all these houses we need, I have no idea who the hell is going to actually do it. Worrying thing is, neither have the people in charge!

Yes look at the woman in charge of Certsure.
 
Anyway, being as how Mano has gone off the radar, just look at this I found while looking for that Clapton Cocaine Video. Just for you Tel look at this, talk about talent...
