how does your lighting circuit work

[MIH]

If this guy is supposedly a "qualified electrician" then there's no hope for us poor lot that aren't!!!

Maybe it's time to stick the live cable somewhere...

He's probably just done a half-day PAT course, and thinks he's a qualified sparky.

qualified my ar$e, i would re-train as a shelf stacker if i were you, dont worry you can do as many resits as possible.

Stop lying, you arn't qualified and have NOT done an apprentiship. the training provider would have sussed you out as being no good for it.

i have just qualified as an electrician

And he's repeated that claim a number of times since.

Not sure what kind of qualification he managed to get, but it didn't cover basic circuit design //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=165504

Or what the differences are between an MCB and an RCD. Not that there would have been any point in them trying to teach him that:

But he's pressing on - taking money from some poor unsuspecting punter, and blagging it by getting other people to do his job for him: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=179894

And this one is truly scary: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=188263


Does anybody here believe that he is a qualified electrician?

i would love to know his qualifications. and what competent persons scheme he is with....

bhm1712, I did that a few pages back.. keep up..

 

[1john]

coljack, in fairness to the OP, maybe the more he sees it the more likely his is to understand. maybe a tattoo on the back of the hand may help him. Poor Joe public.

 

[ColJack]

you know I'm not entirely sure that kevin1234 isn't a figment of BAS's imagination, created for the express purpose of giving him someone to argue with and berate when it's a slow day..

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Well I'm sure he isn't.

I doubt this guy has any quals, or he's just here as a wind up.

Regardless, not every electrician is in a competent persons scheme.
