i can imagine they can't be bothered to turn up to fix a boiler let alone get a pensioner a free one.

i'll stick with the 90% of the population of the county and 90% of the plumbers attitude to them.

WASTERS of a company.

dont take this the wrong way, its not meant as a jibe, but if you cant use a multimeter then i think you are going to struggle in this job.

 

[bengriffiths]

not really had to use one in plumbing mate,when would i?

Using one is easy, understanding what you are doing with it is a whole new ball game.

As nickso has said, is it really the job for you. Maybe 40% is telling you something.[/quote]

seco.....dont really want to go off topic....sorry ben.....but thats a load of ****.

i'll stick with the 90% of the population of the county

and this figure is plucked from where? your fervent imagination?

90% of the plumbers

not sure why 90% of plumbers need an opinion but again i ask where that figure came from.

you may be the worst plumber or rgi in the universe but as i dont have any evidence of that .....(only evidence that you like to make things up with no basis at all) ......im not likely to be spouting it all over then net in some strange vendetta about something that has nothing to do with you.

 

[nickso]

i agree its strange that they are asking you to use one when you are unlikely to need it.

all i can say if you work for them your a sad person indeed.

i'd rather have a polish plumber work with me than a muppet of bg.
thats what i think of bg scum bags. wouldn't give them the time of day.
as for ya £600 powerflushes rogue ring a bell.

Cant see why you would need an indepth knowledge of multimeter use, although the work BG plumbers do would require you to prove electrics to be dead if you are quality checked.

Most of the work BG plumbers do is changing cyclinders, rads, repipes etc.
