Pfffft.....Fecking CC/CCCs!!

She has definately a Short course cowboy, that is the correct way to get tought in a college, but then if you do a proper apprentaship, the guy on site shows you how they are fitted in real life, much quicker method, also them pipes running on an angle back into the wall look ****, much better to drill hole directly below and run pipe straight, just my personal preferance though :rolleyes:

Christ, I didn't know you lived there Palavaman!! Are you a fudge packer son??!!
 
I like her comment that it doesn't matter which way up the rad bracket goes.

A case of true vocation missed:
"Hattie Hasan tells the world about the best YouTube channel for teaching you how to build a killer facebook fanpage"

Perhaps she's on Twatter too?
 
I had to turn it off, I was cringing watching it, don't think she would make much working on a price? Women in the building trade? sorry but I don't think it works.
 
As said she clearly has had very little 'one to one' training as we all got doing an apprenticeship. It is a bit of a worrying how she's spreading the word to others!! Gawd knows we now have enough cowboys in this trade!!!
 
I served my time as an indentured apprentice (slave) to a firm that specialised in cast iron and sheet lead work, working on prestige buildings.
And I like to think that I know my job (retired now) but still doing a bit to keep my hand in.
It really annoys me that these eejits seem to think that plumbing is a jolly jape, it isn't, its a highly skilled job.
Plumbing has been good to me and I have earned a lot of money out of it and had a great deal of job satisfaction, had the hard times though, working out in the cold and rain in winter and having your dinner in a dirty old wet cold cabin, what a larf when I think back :LOL:
 
I was rooting about in the loft of my garage the other day and what did I find? My old Max Sievert petrol blowlamp.
I bought it with my 19th birthday money, a toffee apple to anyone who can guess how old it is?
I wondered if it would work using todays unleaded petrol, I stripped it down and gave it a good cleaning, filled it with petrol and went through to motions of lighting it, turned it on and after a bit of coughing and spluttering away she went, it gave out a sickly yellow flame and then settled down to a nice true blue flame, ah were reet chuffed as we say here in Lancashire, there is a picture of it in my photo album plus one of me check it out.
