How fate??? I don't think I'm more knowledgeable (at least not a lot) but I do care about my work and I am approachable when people ask for advice etc. Spent over an hour at the smaller job going through everything, how the system would be flushed, what are the pros an cons of this and that...

Back to the point, does that manometer av a backlight? Cheap isn't it! I got a centre brand one a few years back cost like £100! Think I was done :(

unless your going to fit an entirley seperate heating circuit, in which case you'll have twice the amount of rads??

If you want to use the log burner to heat the rads, and the combi then they'll have to mix somewhere. You could set up so the combi heats a coil in a link up vessel (sealed indirect) and the log burner could heat the vessel direct OV with the heating circuit then running from the vessel. I mean...

Secondary recirc??? nice idea if you can?

no way................. :roll:

He is on a 4 year apprenticeship or did he say fastrack?? :oops: I'll have to go check. I think he's on a 4 year? Anyway, no need to lay into him bout being a squaddie or the funding being made available. the funding is there for kids too, be wise not to beleive everything the daily mail tells...

No but this sort of thing maybe why you were voted out of the cc? I think the op will be time served when he's finished college, sounds like he's with a firm and in the work shop a day a week? Isn't that how you trained?

Oh and I left my last job as I was expect to liaise with customers, size jobs, pick up materials, use my own van & tools all for £9.00 an hour..... And I was fetching & carrying and having a go at hanging and piping rads at 12, working with my old man in the summer hols. But as hormones take...

I only got an apprenticeship with my uncle because he was family. I wanted to be a sparky, but could not get an apprenticeship anywhere with an electrical firm. I have 2-3 phone calls a week from boys looking for apprenticeships. I have had four to date one was showing some signs of getting...

I did lpg when doing my natural gas for a smaller fee. I was nearly put on the new course for level 3! I have been doing this NVQ malarkey for like 7 years now! I didn't go to college properly at lvl 2 stage (was too busy working) lost my job and went labouring. I then finished my 2 working...

Couldn't you pick up where you left off in 08?

I was one of the last on the old course, as we were finishing the first year boys were on the new course. A lot more in depth apparently? And don't you pick gas oil or renewables? Bloody pain if even the people setting the course can't decide what your supposed to learn!

The college are worried because a lot of boys used to get lvl 2, get unvented ticket and acs tickets. They'd get GS registered and fook off from college. If you don't complete lvl three the college aren't able to say you completed the course and can't claim as much funding. That's what was...

Not true, I still haven't got my Nvq 3 certs. I have completed it just didn't hand the folder in until last november, still waiting for the cert.. I have had my gas tickets since 2011. Gas safe registration is part of finishing nvq three, as is unvented ticket etc. I did my acs and about a month...

Exactly, as long as the trap outlet was suitable for use with solvent weld.. I would think it probably was..

I sent email etc. now I wait?
