I do hope that David icke and Alex Jones aren't your only sources. I know you will say that the NWO have silenced them but I've been following these theories since they first appeared and nothing I've seen gives them credence. They rely on book sales and appearance fees, with info wars also...

It would prove no 230v was present. You could take a wander lead to it from the MET? Either way if it helps satisfy your your pedantic way, it was just a thought and I am sure you are absolutely correct in your observation. Cheers

It was more a response to the fact that he didn't seem confident in the results. As in the non contact tester showed potential on live neutral and earth, which is odd, even though the martindale showed no voltage.

Probably non contact tester was showing a capacitance voltage? A proper 2 pole tester, or a known working lamp plugged in to test for 230v would be better. You sure it is a spur, could be the end of a radial? Do you know where its mcb is in the consumer unit?

I have a feeling I know who the gormless one is

Not me. My oil boiler must be 30 years old. It just keeps on going. The Company that service it agree that it is best to keep it as there is so little to go wrong with it.

Yes if you are doing the same job. If you are using your experience and providing more at the request of the client you should charge more. I work in the same industry as you and for over twice as long as you, should I charge double your rate? If you ask me to stack and blend multiple...

Did you mention that before, maybe I missed it. No PO then? You recommended her as an apprentice, so is it actually an apprenticeship or some made up position to pay less. Of not, then she is just another freelancer and should be paid the same.

Obviously they were not unrealistic.

You are a freelancer. Truthfully you are a self employed sub contractor in the eyes of the law. That means you are a business. Stop talking about wages. You charge for your services and it is your choice what you charge in the same way as it is hers. If you go for the average then so be it...

Sorry, haven't read all the thread yet. Just to say, i also am self employed in the entertainment industry. All I can say us well done her for negotiating a good rate.
